It is income tax filing season and everyone must be having queries or questions on income tax returns and income tax filing. Income Tax Queries are bound to arise and you must know the answers.
Here are some income tax queries in India answered. This is only in the Indian context and should not be used as income tax queries for other countries.
Let us know if you have any other clarifications and we will be happy to answer them for you.
Income Tax Queries & Answers
Query 1
Can money paid to your employer for serving notice period be excluded for calculating one’s net taxable income ?
Answer : No, while calculating the net taxable income, the employee cannot get rebate for notice period payment served with the employer. Whatever money has been paid to the employer is actually taxable.
Query 2
Suppose you have two DEMAT accounts. One has your wife’s name on it along with yours, so essentially it is joint. The other has only your name on it. If you were to transfer shares from the first to the second, will you attract any capital gain tax?
Answer : You will not attract any capital gains tax if no money has been paid for the transfer, i.e., the transfer will be considered as a gift from your spouse, which is tax-free. It will be taxable for the individual who purchased the shares that are now being transferred.
Query 3
You have two houses. One is rented out while the other is self-occupied. The self occupied one has a home loan on it which fetches a tax deduction of Rs 1,50,000 on the interest paid. Will you get a higher tax benefit if you were to rent out this house too?
Answer : Yes, in case of a rented house, one can claim the total interest accrued for the year as a deduction and there is no upper limit. Rs 1,50,000 is the limit for a self-occupied property only. Note we are taking about interest portion of the loan only and not principal here.
Question 4
You are irregular in filing your income tax returns though your income tax returns has been deducted at source for all years. What can happen ?
Answer : The I-T department can ask for records of the previous six years preceding the relevant financial year. Not filing returns can attract a penalty of up to Rs 5000. If there is any undeclared income, then the penalty varies between 100% to 300%.
Question 5
You are salaried and TDS has been deducted from your salary. But you did not get your Form 16. So you do not know whether tax has been deducted and paid to the IT department or not. What do you do ?
Answer : You can view your tax credit on form 26AS on the I-T department’s website. If the tax has been deducted and not deposited, then first write to your employer to correct this. In case no action is taken by your employer, write to the I-T department.
Question 6
You have bought several equity diversified mutual funds through SIPs over the last few years. If you sell these, how can you classify the capital gains (short term or long term) for tax purposes?
Answer : All SIP investments are treated separately for tax purposes. If you sell now and the profits from equity investments are more than a year old, then they are treated as long-term capital gains and are exempt from tax. However, if the gains from SIPs are made in the past 11 months, these will be taxed at 15%.
Question 7
You did not file your tax by 31 July. Can you file a delayed return to get a refund, if applicable ?
Answer : You can file delayed returns for up to two years from the end of the financial year. If all the taxes have been paid or deducted then you will not have to pay a penalty but you will not be eligible for a refund.
So essentially, you can claim a refund only if you have filed your return by the due date, that is, 31 July.
Question 8
You are a NRI and have a bank account in the country abroad. Is the interest earned by the deposits in this account taxable in India?
Answer : The interest earned by your deposits in the abroad bank account will be taxable in India only if it has been received in India. If the interest has been credited to your abroad bank account, the interest will not be taxed in India, it will instead be taxed in the country abroad.
Question 9
If you gift your wife some money and she invests it in shares, will the capital gain be treated as hers or mine?
Answer : If you gift money to your wife and she invests it, the capital gain from the investment will be clubbed with your income and you will have to pay tax on it.
Question 10
You want to gift your wife some shares. Will either of you have to pay income tax? If your wife sells these shares, how will the profit be taxed?
Answer : You will not have to pay tax when you transfer/gift shares to your wife. The shares can be transferred from your demat account to your wife’s demat account. You should prepare a gift deed listing the shares and their present value. If your wife sells these shares and earns capital gains, the profit will be treated as your income.
Hope these will answer the most of important income tax queries that come to mind often.

I have an account on my spouse name.
Every month I transfer money from my salary account to my wife’s account and the money remains idle there earning savings interest.
Now do I need to show that interest income in my tax return???
@Atanu, Yes, you will need to. Have you heard anything different ?
Is Risk related allowances (like Flying allowances) taxable?
If not, under what section of IT Act can I claim exemption?
Regards
@SL Narayan, I am not sure about this. I suggest you check with a CA please.
My wife’s annual salary is just 1.5 lac . I do share trading in her account. Also in F&o. But not a any gains so far. Do i have to file income tax return
Dear Vishal,
It is advisable to file IT Returns in case you want to carry forward loss.
My honest advice is to refrain from trading in F&O as these are speculative in nature and you can incur huge losses if you do not have proper knowledge. Trading in F&O on the basis of your broker recommendation is the worst thing you can do to your portfolio. If you are interested in equity and have knowledge make investments by following value investing principals or invest through mutuals funds.

Hi ,
I have filed it for the Financial year 2009 -2010, in which i have to get a refund of Rs- 6749 dated – 13/7/2010 .
but so far i have not received the refund inspite of of several e- mail, i have forward from my end ,
Kindly look in to this and do the neeedful.
@a.fakruddin ahmed sayeed, Hi, Whom have you sent the email ?
Can the “credited amounts” shown in the TDS Certificate be assumed as the ‘official’ figures as earnings or are the entries in the bank Pass Book more relevant? At times entries in the TDS Certificate and the Pass Book do not match and it is difficult to get banks to make amendments to the TDS Certificate. A case may occur where the bank has shown higher earnings in the TDS Certificate and thus the TDS will be higher too. If the Pass Book has the correct entries and shows lower earnings then we are losing due to excess tax being deducted.
Thanks in advance.
@VS, I think this is a question more for the Chartered Accountant / Tax Consultant.
I am not aware of the answer. If you get to know, please let us know as well.
Please go by what you bank Pass Book says. TDS certificates should only br relied on for TDS and nothing else
My daughter is getting married next month. I have to purchase some gold ornaments. Please let me know if I am eligible for any exemption from Income tax. If Yes, then how much. If No, then why not eligible.
@Damodaran nair, Frankly, I do not think there is any exemption for this but it is best to check with a tax consultant as he knows best.
NO
How to Gift a money to my Spouse (To avoid further tax). Is there any specific procedure is there? Or directly can I transfer to her bank account (Through NEFT or by cheque)
@Krishna, Gift in cash to avoid tax for sure.
Gift from a relative is not taxable.
I transfer some money from my SB a/c to my wife,s SB A/c.She invests the money in FD and earns interest. I include this interest in my IT return as my income. OK?
yes you are doing the right thing or you can show this transfer as a loan and show the income as your wife’s
i had some IT refund pending from 2006-07. i got it last month, the interest that they have paid is only for the period till aug 2008. according to them, they assessed on that day.
when they have prepared my cheque on 01.11.11, shouldn’t they be paying interest for remaining period. i got the amount only when i threaten them of giving an appeal via RTI. advice me what should i do?
@bhavesh, I guess you are right. Keep threatening. Get an agent to get the money for you. Or use RTI to find the specifics.
Yes good luck with that one
for The Purpose of Section 80DDB, as per IT Tax Act, Goverment Hospital means ” Government hospital” includes a departmental dispensary whether full-time or part-time established and run by a Department of the Government for the medical attendance and treatment of a class or classes of Government servants and members of their families, a hospita l maintained by a local authority and any other hospital with which arrangements have been made by the Government for the treatment of Government servants”
So, any private hospital, where govt employees can get treatment under CGHS, comes under above defination
I have a query regarding this HOUSING RENT ALLOWANCE scheme for employees
Let me give you a brief intro so you can und the situation in a better manner:
I am a student studying 1st yr engineering and overseeing my aunt’s flat because 2 months back she went overseas to see my uncle who is an NRI
My aunt is a housewife with local resident status(not NRI) and the flat is on her name i.e. she owns it
As of now my aunt has leased her flat to 3 men all of them are salaried emplooyes and give a combined rent of 27,000 per month via NEFT to my A/C(the payment is done by 1 of the men).
Now they want my aunt’s PAN NO. to claim HRA from their respective companies
My questions are
1. Is it safe to give PAN NO?
2. Will my aunt have to file income tax eventhough she is a housewife , also when these 3 claim for HRA
will the fact be considered that indvidually they pay 9000 pm each which is less than 1,80,000 annaully (for which I heard tax is NIL under HRA to paid by my aunt)
OR
will I.T. consider the net rent which I get (27,000 pm i.e. 3,24,000 anually)
pls guide me Iam confused
Thanking you and very happy new year,
Ashish Kumar
@Ashish Kumar, Are you worried about your aunt or the 3 gents staying on rent ?
Employers ask for PAN of landlord so you need to furnish it – note that if a formal registration was done by your aunt, then the xerox of the PAN would be in there so the gents already have the PAN with them 🙂
Your aunt will have to file IT returns depending on what her income is along with what she is earning as rent. Do not get confused by your aunt paying rent with the HRA the gents are claiming – both are separate transactions.
You aunt receives 27,000 * 12 as rent and that needs to be taken into account and not 1,80,000.
Hope this helps.
@Ashish Kumar, I would strongly recommend that you consult a CA and sort this out ASAP. If you guys have not being paying the taxes, the IT department can literally impose a hefty fine for the cumulative amounts earned till date – and that would be a significant financial hit.
thanks for your timely response I highly appreciate it
but in this case as mentioned in previous question my aunt is housewife(non earning) the only thing is that the flat is on her name (the agreement mentions her as the landlord)
so does she still have to pay taxes even though she is not working and just owns the flat which is on her name
@Ashish Kumar, Income received from any source is liable for taxation. Irrespective of whether a person has any other source of income or not, any amounts earned by means of rent do qualify as “income” and is subject to Income tax.
Essentially, your aunt would have to pay income tax if the total rent received by her (minus the expenses she incurs on maintenance of the flat) exceeds the “no-tax” bracket.
@Ashish Kumar, To the best of my knowledge, the answer is yes. Tax still needs to be paid but I am happy to be corrected.
@Ashish Kumar, In my view, your aunt is getting 27000 monthly income as rent and she is providing that as gift to you. It has nothing to do with whether she is working or not.
It is her income. If she has a PAN card furnish it or otherwise declare that she doesn’t have a PAN card.
Your aunt’s total income is Rs.3,24,000 and is well above the limit of 1,90,000 per annum and tax has to be paid. Tax comes to be Rs. 13,400/-
There are various investments and ways to avoid tax. For that, you need to consult the tax consultant.
Ashish,
As the payment is done to your account, it would term as an income to you and you would have to pay tax. You would have to do an arrangement between you and your aunt on it. As Jaswinder mentioned, a CA would be in a better position to guide you.
Rakesh
@Rakesh, Oh I missed the point that the income comes to your account. This deserves a tax consultant please !!
If your aunt not paid tax on her income during that particular assessment year, the income tax department may ask you to pay tax as you are the beneficiaries of that income. It’s advisale that your aunt should pay tax on that and furnish PAN if she has no PAN apply for that
Really useful information. Some of them were really new to me and useful.
I have been filing regular I.T returns and been assessed till last year. For how long should I keep the vouchers and receipts of previous years. My cupboard is full.
@aspi doctor, Buy a new cupboard.
Ha Ha but 8 years.
Hi,
I have following queries,
1) What is the best way to gift money to my wife (to avoid tax) like by cash or bank transfer?
2) If by cash do I need to get any receipt for the same?
3) What is maximum tax exemption I can get from this?
Thanking You in advance
Fedlese
Please use bank transfer. Cash involves a lot of hassles.
You wont get any tax exemptions but your wife wont have to pay any tax for the gift(s) received.
Hi,
I am buying a property owned by an NRI through his constituted attorney. I have the following queries:
1. If the sale deed and financial transaction is done with the attorney instead of the NRI owner, will the sale be valid?
2. If the money is transferred to the attorney’s account (who is an Indian resident), what is the short term gains tax liability for the buyer?
Thanks in advance.
Deepali
@Deepali, You probably need a real estate lawyer and an IT tax consultant.
This is a very niche question.
1) If the Indian citizen has a registered Power of Attorney authorozing him to sell the property, only then will the sale be valid.
2) Capital Gains arises with respect to the seller, not the buyer.
What if someone sells the property with power of attorney and transfers money to the NRI?
The NRI has to pay the tax as Income is accruing/arising in India. Hence Taxable in India.
Deepali better you stick to Radhey’s advice at least on first point. There are judgements even from supreme court denying the similar kind of deeds, as we are not expert always good to have lawyer for it.
I seek opinion on the following property transfer.
Mr. A and Mrs.A are the joint owners of a property P(comprising of 2 plots of equal size, 1 plot in the names of Mr. and Mrs.A and another plot in the sole name of Mrs.A) purchased in the year 1999 for Rs. 23 Lakhs. Mrs.A has 75% share in the whole property and Mr. A owns only 25% share in the property. Mr. A is no more. Their 2 daughters have given PoA favouring Mrs. A for sale/alienation of the property. Now Mrs. A wishes to acquire 100% share in the whole property by utilizing the PoA. Assuming that the total Guideline value of the property is Rs.50 lakhs and Mrs. A would like to initially create a sale transaction favouring her brother Mr. B for a sale consideration of Rs.10 lakhs only. Mr.B is a pensioner receiving a average pension of Rs. 2 Lakhs per year and is a senior citizen.Hence he is not liable to pay any IT. On the basis of this sale deed, Mr.B wants to register a Settlement Deed in favour of his sister Mrs. A by which transaction Mrs. A will be holding absolutely 100% share of the property. Please enlighten the tax implications of the 2 transactions.
Thanking You
@Janardhanan, I think you need to consult a tax consultant for this matter.
@Janardhanan,
Agree with Vivek, a tax consultant will be in a better position to advise you, unless Radhey or any other members have any suggestions for you.
@Janardhanan, Please go to a tax consultant and pay him for this niche service you seek !
Dear Sir,
I have filed my tax return for last 2 financial years (2009-10 and 2010-11) within the specified timeline but I have not furnished ITR-V to Income-Tax department for acknowledgement and already missed the timeline. Could you please tell me whether I can send the ITR-V to IT department now? Whether IT department will provide the acknowledgement now? If not, what can be done for getting the acknowledgement?
Regards,
Raj
@Raj,
According to me a tax consultant will be in a better position to help you. But let’s wait to here what other experts have to say.
Tough to say. Send them the ITR V and hope they take it is all I can say.
Hi all,
If i transfer equity shares to my wife’s account and she sells it later, is there any tax to be paid?
What about the future earnings from this realised amount(suppose she makes FD)? should it be clubbed to my income?
@santhosh, Tax will need to be paid by someone, either yo or her, it cannot be avoided. Let me do an article on this.
@Radhey,
That will be great, i know few people who have given shares as a gift to their wives to avoid paying taxes.
@Radhey Sharma, But if shares are sold after 1 year then no tax, right? It is only for short term capital gain, which is 15%.
@Vivek,
Long term capital gain is tax free as of now, Who knows in years to come the FM may tax it.
@Santosh,
Have you given these shares as a gift or just opened a new account in your wife’s name and transferred the shares? In case of FD no tax has to be paid if the interest earned in less than 10,000 per year.
@Rakesh, But TDS is still deducted on FD and you need to chase IT department to get a refund later.
@Vivek,
No, my co-op bank does not deduct any TDS if the interest earned is less than 10k.
@Rakesh, I also found out that if you don’t want TDS to be deducted by any bank you need to fill some form and submit and bank will stop deducting the TDS.
@Vivek,
Yes, these forms are 15G and 15H. 15H is for senior citizens and 15G is for everyone whose income is below the taxable limit.
@Rakesh, Correct, I really like this, once can avoid TDS and unnecessary hassle with IT department for refunds.
@Vivek,
Yes, following up with IT department for refund is pain. I make sure to fill form 15 H for may family members at the time of opening the FD.
@Rakesh, You are a smart investor Rakesh. I should start doing the same.
@Rakesh,
Still learning, long way to go.
@Rakesh, Good to know about unique attractive features of co-op banks.
@Vivek,
Some co-op banks are good, even though they are small they have some good features. Your work gets done faster and they have interest rates slightly higher than nationalized banks.
Recently YES Bank raised interest rates for savings accounts to 7% for customers having balance over 1 lakh.
@Rakesh, Yea, heard about YES bank. The interest war is going to be interesting now.
@Vivek,
In the end customer will benefit. But i don’t think it would make sense for people to take money out from one bank and deposit in other bank. Managing more accounts would be cumbersome.
@Rakesh, I never considered co-op banks, somehow couldn’t trust them.
@Vivek,
Yes co-op banks are very small and there were news of some closing down and cheating people in the past. But with RBI making rules sticker it won’t be easier to cheat people now.
@Rakesh
Still it won’t be easy to trust them just to earn extra 1% interest.
@Vivek,
I understand your concern, same with me when it comes to buy life/health insurance from private players.
But i think unless you bank with them you won’t know how they work. I have an account with a co-op bank for over 8 years and i am very happy with their services.
@Rakesh,
Hmmmm I might try if I find something closer to my place so that I can visit them regularly and keep an eye on them 😉
Fill up Form 15G (15H for Senior Citizens) and submit it to the bank bt the 15th of April every year. Then, bye bye TDS
Thanks @radhey,rakesh,vivek.
i bought some shares in my wifes account and sold it. LTCG are exempt from tax. If i do FD with the proceeds (share capital + Cap gains) in my wifes name, what are the tax implications?
My wife has no other income.
@Santosh,
If interest earned from FD is more that Rs.10,000 for the year, the bank deducts TDS but as you mentioned your wife does not have any other source of income you can submit Form 15G to the bank and the bank will not deduct TDS.
But you did not answer the first question as to how the shares came into your wife’s account. If you transferred from your account to her’s then its better to prepare a gift deed.
@santhosh, I don’t know the amount you are dealing with but if your wife’s total annual income is over 2.5 lakhs, then she becomes eligible to pay income tax. So, keep an eye on it and the tax slabs.
Otherwise best way is to avoid TDS like Rakesh explained above. Don’t get into the vicious circle of getting refund from IT department.
@Santosh,
Radhey just did an article on this topic –
https://www.thewealthwisher.com/2012/03/21/clubbing-of-income-income-from-assets-transferred-to-spouse/
@santhosh, Do read this article suggested by Rakesh. We have some good discussion going on there.
You may want to share your personal experiences as well.
@Santosh,
Agree with Vivek, we have been having some great discussion not only in this topic but various other topics. You can contribute there and share your views.
I have two houses in Noida both are let out (Both are on home loan with interest component as 3 lakhs + 6 Lakhs), I live in Bangalore on rent. what will be the income tax implications? Can I add both the properties interest for tax relief (= 9 Lakh) and claim HRA also as I live in rented house?
@Rajesh,
You can get tax exemption for home loan and HRA, but for home loan there is a limit of Rs. 1.5 lakhs. Below link will give you more information.
http://www.sify.com/finance/how-to-claim-tax-benefits-for-home-loans-news-editors-picks-kglpmdbggib.html
@Rajesh, Principal component you can claim under section 80C, but the overall limit is 1 lakh.
Tax relief on home loan can be taken but limit is 1.5 lakhs. In case it is a joint property both the parties can claim 1.5 lakhs each, so the total comes to 3 lakhs.
HRA also you can claim on the original rent paid but I think there is some limit to it as well. Your HR department can confirm the limit.
I bought a plot for rs.3,00,000/- in 2004 april, which i sold for 12,00,000/- in 2011 april, and i invested 3,25,000/- in shares in 2006-2008, of which i sold all shares in 2012 january for small amount of 50,000/- . Hear am i able to claim long term capital loss through share trading from long term capital gain through the sale of plot
@mukesh, You should be able to but I am not sure about the procedure. I think it is safe to take help from a tax consultant.
@Mukesh,
Yes you can claim long term loss in shares against long term profit earned by sale of plot. Again a tax expert will be in a better position to guide you.
Hi All,
I took home loan to construct house, but land is on my father’s name.
Is there any way i can show home loan to avail tax benefits.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Syed.
@Syed,
Yes you can, make your father as a co-applicant to the home loan.
To avail tax benefit on home loan I don’t think land owner matters. All you need to show is the principal and interest certificate from the bank, which of course will be in the name of the loan applicant and not the land owner.
It makes sense to have a co-applicant in home loan only if co-applicant is paying income tax so that both the parties can enjoy the tax benefits.
Let’s see what wealthwisher team has to say?
@Vivek,
To avail tax benefit you need to be a co-owner of the property.
Below query was posted in rediff.
If the home is on my parents name, can I take a home loan and get the tax benefits?
Only owners or co-owners are eligible for tax benefits on the repayment of a loan taken to acquire or construct a house property.
Therefore, if the property being acquired is in the name of your parents alone, you will not be eligible for any tax benefits on the loan taken to acquire the property.
http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2006/jan/06home.htm
If this is the case then I am surprised that no one questions about the owner of the land. When I took home loan no one asked, when I submit certificate every year for tax exemption no one asks.
@Vivek,
In Syed’s case he is constructing a house in a land which is owned by his father. In your case you would have taken a home loan for an apartment and the bank would have verifiedthe registration document.
@Rakesh,
I took home loan when the property was under construction and there was no registration done at the time home loan sanction.
Vivek, there is a difference when constructing an apartment on a land and when buying an apartment from a builder. In the latter, the apartment belongs to you so ownership of apartment is checked as the land due diligence is already verified by the bank beforehand. In the former case when constructing on a piece of land, each owner’s interest in the land is checked because the entire land belongs to the owner.
Does this make sense ?
@TheWealthWisher
Yes, the concept makes sense.
But still there is no check when taking tax exemption, is there? If I submit the certificate I can claim the exemption.
Hi,
Could anyone do an article on Section 111A of the Income Tax Act which I feel is one of the most idiotic and confusing sections there could be.
Thanks
If an NRI is sending some money to invest in his wife’s name in form of FD for monthly expenses, is it taxable if, the total interest is less than 1.80 lacs/annum
@Kaly,
Does your wife has any other source of income? If not then she can submit Form 15 G to the bank and they will not deduct tax.
While you can avoid deducting the TDS, I think the interest earned from those FDs will be added to your income. Refer below article: –
https://www.thewealthwisher.com/2012/03/21/clubbing-of-income-income-from-assets-transferred-to-spouse/
I am not sure if there is anything different for NRIs when they are sending money for monthly expenses.

Should i need to file ITR.

Rahul – get hold of a tax consultant quickly.
When you combine all the income from the 2 companies, the results can be very different than what you think. The tax consultant will do the calculations for you. You need to file 1 return for 1 financial year, irrespective of how many companies you worked for.
You pay tax to the government through your employer. In your case, if you discover that tax is to be paid, then pay it directly online to the government.
In this case you will have two Form 16. Once you club both you would have to pay tax. I have been in this scenario in the past. As Radhey suggested get in touch with a tax consultant and he will guide you how to pay tax.
Hi,
I wanted to know that who all can get a Tax rebate on mobile bills? if yes how do i claim for it? please let me know.. thanks in advance
Dear Sir,
If a house wife has some FDs in her bank and getting interest of more that Rs. 10,000/-. Whether she should file the I.Tax Return.
Thanks and regards
@Nirmal,
If her total income exceeds the taxable limit (1,80,000) then only she needs to file IT return. As incase of FD where interest is more than 10000 she can always submit Form 15G to the bank and they will not deduct any tax. I have done it for my mother.
It depends on the total income of the person and which tax slab he/she falls under. If the total income is only 10k+ then no tax return has to filed.
Received Leave encashment on retirement during assesment year 2012-2013 from Central Govt. Undertaking Organisation for 195 days Rs.2,94,444/- i.e On last pay drawn basis however it comes on 10 months average basis Rs.2,83,294/-. Please advise if any amount is taxable keeping in view the exumption of Rs.3,00,0000/-.
my mother has 2 lacs fixed deposit in her bank account whose interest exceeds more than 10000 in a financial year. And her monthly salary is 4000 rupees only. Is it ok for her to to give 15H in banks so that no TDS can be done at source bank where she has fixed deposits.
Yes.
HI,
for the Fin Year 2011-12, I have worked in 2 differernt companies.
first Company-From March 2011 Till Sep 2011
Second Company-From October 2011 Till Date
So i have 2 form 16 for the Fin Year, As a result no tax deducted by either of 2 companies(first Company Total Sal 1.6 Lac, Second company Total Sal 2 Lac)

So do i need to file my IT return this year, and pay the actual tax incurred(around 15000)?
Please assist
Thanks in Advance
@Sudhakar,
Yes you would have to pay tax. You can either file your returns online or get hold of a tax consultant.

I don’t think you can get any rebate !!
Please give your valuable opinion, on the following:
1) I am working in a Government department. We have formed a Employees’ co-operative credit society, which is registered and have 30 members . The society gets monthly contribution from the Members, and the same will be utilised for disbursement of loans to the needy Members with interest of 12%. The society’s income is only in form of interest from the loans to its members. After meeting the expenses, annual surplus if any, disbursed to the Members back in the form of dividend. Sir, I want to know, whether, the society is liable to file IT return every year. Our annual surplus is around Rs.50,000/-. Please guide income tax implication and our obligation to file IT returns annually. Thanks
2) I am a resident of co-op. housing society. We have a Maintenance Association, registered as NTC which looks after maintenance work of the society and receives maintenance charge from the society members. The Association files IT returns annually. Now builder has handed over the society to its Members and for that purpose we formed a separate adhoc committee to look after the work of the Society. This committee of the society will look after only legal aspects of the society like purchase and sale of units by the members and the prospective members. Kindly advise, whether the Society is liable to file IT returns or not. Also please advise, whether we should dissolve the Maintenance Committee and merge with the society and work under one umbrella ?
Your valuable advice is highly appreciated. Thanks
@Vijay,
I guess a tax consultant would be in a better position to advise you.
yaar main mah father is a motor mechanic (labour who repairs truck)(self – employed)and his annual income is 200000 and bank for my education loan is demanding p&l statement ,balance sheet ,computation of income etc what shall i do
@Veer,
You Father might have filed IT returns over the years, you can submit that to the bank as it also includes income and expenses.
my father had filled itr only for last two years
just tell me from where i can get those documents
@Veer,
Can you be more specific? If the ITR was filed by you then you should have the documents or if it was done by your tax consultant then should have a copy.
Anyways a tax consultant would be in a better position to assist you.
Hello Sir,
I have an apartment with a loan. Me and my wife bought it. she quit her job and she had no income in this financial year.
Is there any way i can claim more tax benefit than 1.5 lac limit in loan interest?
Also , I was out of india for the whole of 1 year and the house was not let out.
In this case , whats the best way to claim the loss of letable rent that i can claim
and how to compute that approx rent which i could have got if i had rented my flat.
Thanks
Swan
No you cannot claim more than 1.5 lakhs in interest deductions. To best use the let-able rent, you need to get in touch with a local tax consultant who can help you.
I am working in a united company. I want know that do i have pay IT return by myself or company has to pay those returns?
@Ratilal,
If your income exceeds the taxable limit then you need to file IT returns by yourself. The company deducts tax each month and deposits the same with the Income Tax authorities. We only need to file the returns containing the same information.
Dear Sir,
I have to go for tax saving investments.
Please suggest !
I do not want to go for LIC as its Horizon is long.
I want my investment locked not more that 5 years .

@Rakesh,
You could opt for Tax Savings Fixed Deposit. You would get 9 to 9.5% returns for 5 years.
Do check with your local bank for the latest interest rates.
If you are risk aversed you could opt for Mutual Fund Tax savings scheme.
I am planning to sell a house for Rs.22 lakh, which had been purchased by me 5 years ago for Rs.16 lakh. And I took loan of Rs.13 lakh. In this period of 5 years of owning that property I paid Rs. 5 lakh as interest on loan.
So while calculating the Capital gain does this interest amount also gets deducted from the profit ?
And What Even though the agreement got registered 5 years back , I got possesion 2 years back . So this will be considered as Short term or long term capital gain ?

Hi,
I have two houses, both with the loan of 30 lacs, and want to know the maximum tax benefit I can get. Please answer the following:
1. If I rent both of them out (and stay in a separate rented house myself), what will be the tax benefit on the interest part of the loan I will get ?
2. One of them I have to declare as self-occupied and other as rented. Can the self occupied declared house be rented out too ? How will the tax calculation happen when I rent out the house which I declared as self occupied.
I think both of these have been answered in the article above and the questions and answers readers have been asking, so please read that.
It will be helpful if you take some time and answer them again.
Thanks,

I have following query,
My wife is a homemaker.
Suppose I transfer/Give my wife money for monthly household expenses (say 50000 rs/pm) to her and she saves some money out of it and invests in a Fixed Deposit and earns interest on it. Will she need to pay income tax for the interest earned?
If she DOES NOT need to pay any income tax, what is the proof OR in what way do I need to make the transfer to her Account to avoid any income tax trouble later?
Thanking You in advance
if i make fd’s in name of my wife, can she file her IT return for interest earned. Or it will add to my income.
Show the amount invested in your wife’s name as a loan from you to your wife, In that case, your wife will have to file the return in her name, otherwise the income will be clubbed with your income.

HUF landed property sold for 50 lakhs. after paying long term cap gain at @ 10%, can balance be distributed amongst coparceners under sec 10(2) of the Act >
HUF landed property sold for 50 lakhs. After paying long term cap gain tax @ 10%, can balance be distributed amongst coparceners under sec 10(2) of the Act >
No. It can only be distributed when there is partial or full partition of the HUF. If there is no partition, the amount will have to be kept in the HUF account until there is partition of the HUF.
Here is an extract of the provisions
Types of partitions:
1. Total Partition – It is the type of partition in which the entire family property is being divided amongst the coparceners. After the total; partition takes place, the HUF ceases to exist. All property is being divided among the coparceners of the Hindu Undivided Family.
2. Partial Partition – It is the type of partition which is partial as regards either the person constituting the joint family or as regards the properties belonging to the joint family or both. In case of partial partition, some coparceners may separate from the joint family but other members continue to be a part of the joint family. In this case as regards the property, there may be a division or severance of interest in respect of some part of the estate of the joint family, while the rest of the estate may continue to remain as a part of the property of the joint family.
Effect of partial partition after 31st Dec, 1978 – If any partial partitions have been affected after 31st Dec, 1978 there will be no taxation aspects in it. If any partition occurs after 31st Dec, 1978 then no claim of such partition shall be recorded by the Assessing Officer. Such families will be assessed as if no partition has been taken place. Every member of HUF, immediately before such partition, and the HUF shall be jointly and severally be liable for any sum payable under the Act. The several liability of a member would be proportionate to the share of joint family property allotted to him on such partial partition.
Assessment after Total Partition – When a claim of total partition of HUF has been made by any member of the HUF on behalf of the HUF, the assessing officer shall enquire upon it. For this he shall serve a notice to all the members of HUFs and shall enquire whether total partition has taken place and if so on which date it is affected. If partition has been affected in the previous year, the total income of the HUF of the previous year up to the date of partition shall be the total income of the HUF. Every member of the HUF shall be jointly and severally liable for the tax on such assessed income of the HUF. The several liability of a member would be proportionate to the share of joint family property allotted to him on such partition.

Hello Dr,
There is no issue of you working in two organizations simultaneously.
As long as you can get Form 16 from your employer you should be good.
My total Annual salaried income is Rs. 1,87,000/ and i have been paying insurance premium 28,500/- also paying education loan installment of 3,700/PM have I to pay income tax, if not is it necessary to return file for me, i am having PAN also…
@Adil,
Do you have any other source of income? If not I think you don’t need to pay any tax.
Download an online tax calculator and you can check for yourself.
As a matter of prudence, you should file the return but if Rs. 1, 87, 000 is your Gross Total Income then you are not legally liable to file you IT Return.

What i can do in this regard? Do i have to pay the tax again and file the ITR?
So your employer has paid tax on your salary/earnings to the govt but not on the FDs which you might have. So if your questions was whether you have to pay tax on FDs, yes you have to and then file IT returns. Sorry if your query was something else.

I was a salaried person working in an Indian MNC where I was frequently required to travel on company related work. The company re-imbursed me for travel expenses on actuals on submission of receipt. Recently I got an IT query where-in I was asked the details of these payments by my company. I submitted a letter from my company stating that these are travel related re-imbursements but the IT official refused to accept it in absence of actual receipts which I dont have anymore as I submitted them for getting re-imbursements. Do I have a chance of success if I appeal against the order?

Hi,
I have purchased a flat last year, in which the broker through which I have purchased flat returned me rs 35000/- as discount from his commission and deducted 10% as TDS. Now while filling quick return on income tax website, that TDS is showing up as my income from other sources.
Please let me know, that discount I received is taxable or not, and do I need to show that as my income from other sources (in that case I have to pay additional tax, as I am in 20% slab), or I should claim for return of that TDS.
Please assist me.

Hi.
I have lost my form 16 A for the assessment year 2014. I have been trying to contact the company where I used to work, for a duplicate copy but they haven’t responded to my calls.
I was wondering if the form 26AS downloaded online that shows all my tax statements – can be used to file my tax return? I don’t however have details like, TDS certificate number.
Can I still go ahead and file my tax return?
Let me know soon! Thank you for your time!
Priya
@Priya Well Priya, you need the TDS Certificate Number when you are filing your return so you need to contact the company ASAP to get a duplicate TDS certificate. If you are filing your return online and you don’t type in your Certificate No. the utility will not accept your return.
If my taxable income including short term capital gain from share is less than the taxable limit,then shall I have to pay tax for the short term capital gain(15%)?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a query about income tax.
I had booked a flat in Bangalore in year 2011. The total value that I
am paying for the flat is Rs. 32 lakhs. Now in Year 2014, the flat is
ready for registration.
The builder is asking me to pay the registration charges on Rs. 32
lakhs. However, in the registration document, they are stating only
Rs. 3 lakhs.
When I contacted the builder, they are saying following:
“Since construction of the apartment is through a works contract,
where we have acted as contractors, … there is no requirement to add
the construction value to the sale deed. However as per stamp duty
regulations, we will be declaring the guideline value the apartment
and stamp duty is payable on such value”
Effectively, they are saying that Rs. 29 lakh is the cost of
construction and though I have to pay stamp duty on it, but they won’t
mention it as amount paid in sale deed.
The property is located in Bangalore (Karnataka)
Question:
a) Is the stand taken by the builder correct?
b) If so, and I go by their statement, then say after 10 years, I sell
the flat for Rs. 50 lakhs. What will be treated as my capital gain –
Rs. (50 lakh – 3 lakh) = 47 lakh OR Rs. (50 lakh – 32 lakh) = 18 lakh
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
Vj
I had taken a housing loan of 15l in 2007 and was paying interest as the loan was disbursed in instalments. The final EMI started in 2009. Then, in 2013 I had the loan enhanced to 21L and the EMI commenced immediately since the full amount was disbursed at once. I have received possession of the house in Jul 14. Now, if I understand correctly, I am supposed to total up the entire interest amount from 2007 upto Jul 14, divide it by 5 and include that amount in my income tax rebate claim in this FY and the next 4. What happens to the principal amount from 2008 till 2014? Also, how am I supposed to handle the principal and interest amount starting Aug 2014? The interest part is more or less clear – I am to claim rebate from Aug 14 to Mar 15 under Section 24. Am I supposed to claim rebate on the principal from Aug 14 to Mar 15 under Section 80C? If someone can please guide me on this, I’ll be very grateful.
I file ITR2 since I own a joint property co-owned with my brothers. I am not on good terms with three of my brothers and I have no way of getting their PAN numbers which is a must in filing return. I can either show my portion of the rental as 100% and not show the house as co-owned. Or I should not show this income at all. What should I do.
I currently need to pay a certain amount of money for one of the houses that ive booked. However, im currently going through a financial crunch and am unable to pay off the amount. If incase I borrow this amount from a relative, and upon selling another property pay it back to the relative, am I entitled to paying tax for the same?

Hi,
I had filed the incometax return ITR 1 before the due date of July 31, 2014 for the financial year 2013-14. The figure filled in the same were incorrect and as per the ITR aknowledgement a self assessment tax of Rs 19000 (approx ) was due. I then received a notice from CPC under sec 139(9) for payment f self assessmnet tax due. When I recalculated the tax, the self assessment tax due was coming to Rs 16000 (as the figures filled in the return were incorrect), which I paid and uploaded the ITR 1 once again with the correct figures and self assessment tax paid. My query is whether I need to file a revised return?
I wrongly filled 2012-13 in place of 2013-14 (in assessment year column considering both as same). Now due to that a tax paymement order of around rs 9000 has been demanded against my rs 1500 tax refund claim. Help me what to do

TATA Welfare trust has paid me money (in 2014 June) as ‘financial assistance’ towards expenses incurred by me for my daughter’s higher education in UK. I am working in UK for the last 3.5 years.
Is this money to be treated as ‘gift’ / ‘grant’ and hence non taxable ?
Hi,
I have purchased a built up house by taking home loan from bank. My mother is also co-applicant in home loan and she is a housewife. The house is registered on my mother’s name, but all the payments have been made by me and the EMI of Home loan is also going from my salary alone. The interest certificate issued by bank is on my name.
Am I eligible to claim income tax benefit of principal amount (u/s 80C) and interest amount (u/s 24).
Plz help me out.
Rgds
Rajesh
Yes… Rajesh your are eligible to claim 100% tax deduction u/s80C and u/s24. In some cases your employer may ask for a declaration since the property is in name of your mother. But your are eligible.
Respected Sir
I have received a notice U/S 148 for the years 2009-10,2010-11,2011-12,2012-13. The notice issued by the income tax officer to a wrong address, but the assessee’s name was correct. The letter addressed to a wrong address and it has been redirected after a long time and accepted by the assessee’s wife.
Can we defend the ‘service of notice served not to the correct address of the asssessee?’
