Hello,
Really good information. Very helpful and thanks for it.
Can you please help me with my query as I am running short of time?
I am a software freelancer and have earned about 18 lakhs in this year.
I have provided my CA with a list of the payments recieved and expenses made giving him the dates and bank acounts linked to the payments and expenses.
However my CA says he has to make a profit and Loss statement.
But he says that the P and L statement has to match with each and every item in the saving banks account. Now there are 3 savings banks of mine in which payments and incomes have gone into.
All these accounts have numerous personal expenses. Some have rebates from gas subsidies…some have details where I pay my mothers mseb bills etc.
This means I have to sit with the CA spend at least 2 of my days explaining to him each and every entry of my 3 bank accounts.
I have a feeling that the CA is making thinks very complicated to probably hike his fees in the end.
Question: Does the Tax officials need so much detailing?
Please note full details of my actual business expenses and income have been provided to my CA. Can the net income earned by me be arrived based on these details.
Why has the CA to balance each and every entry in my saving bank accounts?
Can you please advise?
Dear Sathya,
May be your CA is too detail oriented.
I believe small amounts he/she can ignore.
Suggest you to maintain one separate Current account for your business transactions.
Dear Sir

Dear Murari ..You can file ITR for FY 2014-15, but you can not claim refund for the said FY/AY.
Sir, I have not filed my income tax returns for the year 2014to 2015, can I do it now along with rent receipts, and do I get refund on HRA? Can I do it online?
Dear Ratan,
Generally, in case of belated return, refund can not be claimed.
But the IT department issued a notification last year (june,2015) about the claiming of refund on belated returns.
Suggest you to file the ITR with the help of a CA.
what should i choose in “Return filed under section” while filing for FY 2014-15 in AY 2016-17

Dear Sir
Thanks a lot for clearing so many doubts.
I will like to request you to kindly clarify which ITR form to be used by me for filing ITR for AY 2015-2016.
I am a seafarer and have completed my NRE days and my only income is from my sailing salary.( i noticed that my income tax lawyer has used form 2 while filing ITR for AY 2014-2015! for same income and am very confused now!)
Also please mention if i can claim back the TDS paid on purchase of a property worth more than 50 lacs!
Sincere thanks
Dear Yogesh,
If your source of income is salary only then ideally you can opt for ITR-1. I believe that there is no provision to claim it back.
Sir, I’ve not been able to file ITR for the financial year 2014-15 due to certain reasons – laziness, lack of time, etc…well, it seems to me that I won’t be able to do the needful by the 31st of March 2016 as well…Apart from my business income (does not need audit), I have income from other sources, such as House rent, Shop rent, etc…totaling around 4.5 lacs…What if I file ITR for financial year 2014-15 after 31st March 2016, say in May, July or Nov 2016…would I be liable for penalty (Rs.5000) apart from interest on tax amount !? Please reply ASAP…Thanx
Dear Shritanya,
Filing the taxes is your duty as a citizen. Kindly do not postpone and do it at the earliest.
Belated returns can be filed on or before two years from the end of the relevant tax year. For example : Even those who missed filing their returns for income earned say in FY12-13 or assessment year 2013-14 can do so by March 31, 2015. There is a discretionary penalty of Rs 5,000 if the return is not filed within a year from the end of the tax year.
If a belated return is filed after the income tax due date, the taxpayer would be liable to pay the tax along with Interest @ 1% per month (simple interest) .
Thanx for your valuable info….
Dear Reddy sir, For FY14-15 my salarized income was <2,50,000/- so my employer did not give my form 16. However in Mar 15 my bank deducted TDS on my FD , so I need to file the I-TAX return to claim the refund. How to file the return in ITR-2 form when I don't have form 16, or any supporting document to show my salarised income. There are no other income from any other source, also since it is related to AY15-16 can I still file the return ? pls help and guide since this was my first job I need help.
Dear Pravin,
ITR of 2014-15 will be considered as belated return. Recently IT dept has issued a notification that tax assesses can claim refund on belated returns too. But you need to submit a ‘letter for condonation of delay’ to the IT dept.
Yes, you can file the ITR. Suggest you to get this Tax Returns done with the help of a CA.
Thanks Sir for your prompt reply. But pls also ans . for 1st part of question & guide me. The question was “when I don’t have form 16, or any supporting document to show my salarised income. How to file the return in ITR-2 form “. regards
Dear Pravin..I believe that you can file ITR 1 only. You can calculate your tax liability/refund based on your salary & tds.

Dear Srinivas,
If your income + STCG (Short term capital gains) is less than basic exemption limit of 2.5 lakh then you are exempted from paying 15% Short Term Capital Gain Tax.
( if your total taxable income excluding short term gains is less than the minimum income which is chargeable to tax (Rs 2,50,000 for financial year 2014-15) – you can adjust this shortfall against your short term gains. )
Sir, I am having salary income & Rs.25,000/- earned from Stock market/share market related income in the financial year 2014-15 and does not have any other income. Which ITR form filed/suitable for me.

Hello Sir,
While calculating Capital gain from Shares. What should be my BUY and SELL price and actual market rate when it was purchased OR inclusive of Brokerage paid to the broker?
The share price may be Rs. 100, but as part of trade it becomes Rs. 101.25 or something.
Please advise as my trading account is closed and I have submit these details for past year.
Thanks,
Vishwanath
Dear Vishwanath,
What are the buy and sale dates? Is it Long term capital gain or STCG?
Kindly go through this article…Click Here…
Kindly revert to me if you need more details.
Thank you very much. I have reviewed your article.
My most gains are short-term (and small may be long-term) and overall it is all loss, so I didn’t file ITR. Now IT dept ask me details and as my trading account is closed as on today, the broker is unable to provide me Short-Term/Long-term Gain statements.
I have all trade transaction details and want to calculate gains of Past Years: F.Y. 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14.
I am ready to calculate trade by trade but not clear what will be “Full Consideration of Purchase/Sell”
– Actual price on NSE/BSE or Inclusive of Brokerage+STT+ServiceTax?
If you could suggest any software tool, it would be great. I inserted all my trades to ET-Portfolio, but they give report of only FY-2014-15, not for past trades.
Please guide me.
Dear Vishwanath,
Did you receive any Tax Demand notice?
Suggest you to consult a CA at the earliest and get this sorted out. Do not delay it!
Yes, but it is not Tax Demand Notice, it is for “Not Filing ITR”.
Actually, shares trades were in loss, so no ITR filed of my wife as Demat account was on her name.
I have submitted the compliance form accordingly.
Now just getting prepared IF they ask any other details of past years.
Dear Vishwanath,
One of my friends faced similar issue, it is always better to take professional help in these matters.

b. If I create FD, will the interest be my income or my father’s income or my husband’s income?
Thank You,

2 – Income from FD is taxed in your hands and will not clubbed with your father’s.
Thank you. While filing ITR, under what section the amount received from Father should be mentioned so that it is not taxable and also considered as declared income.
Dear Parul,
No need to mention about the gift amount. You can maintain a record of it (date,cheque no etc), that is enough.
Dear Sir,
In case exempted income from PPF and mutual fund dividend exceeds Rs. 150000. but taxable income is from pension and Bank interest only can I use ITR1
Dear Subhash..you can file ITR 1.
I want to file ITR for my retired mother and i have received form 16A from bank. How can i mention total pension it ITR. Is any other document i should collect from bank?
Dear Anil..you can show pension income under the head ‘salary’ and ‘interest income’ under the head ‘income from other sources’. You do not require any documents from your bank.
Thanks Sreekanth,
Form 16A only reflecting only TDS deductions quarterly and not total pension during the year. Is pension is automatically calculated by bank in form 16A or i should approach to bank for total yearly pension. Should I enter total yearly pension details as per mother’s bank account statement.
Please reply.
Sir,
My income for the financial year 2014-15 consists of monthly pension and proceeds of encashment of leave at the time of retirement. I have to claim exemption under Sec 10(10AA)ii relating to encashment of earned leave. But in ITR 1 there is no column to furnish the exempted amount under the said Section. Please guide me as to which ITR form I should use for filing of return online.
Dear Bhandari,
You have to file ITR form 1 only. You can show exempted income (if any) in ITR 1 form , sheet “Taxes paid & verification” row 26 as exempted income.
You may read my article on : Leave Encashment & Tax implications.
I EARNED APPROX. 55000/- INTEREST ON FLEXI RECURRING DEPOSIT DURING LAST YEAR. THIS RD HAS MATURED IN THE YEAR 2015. DO I NEED TO SHOW THE SAME IN ITR FOR THE YEAR 2014-2015? IS NT INTEREST INCOME ON FLEXI RECURRING DESPOSIT IS NOT TAXBALE? PLS HELP
Dear HARPREET,
Interest earned on RD is taxable. Kindly read my article : RD & FD – Tax implications.
Hi Sreekanth,
Nice blog you’ve got here!!
Help me out with this one – I’m trying to upload ITR 4 for this year i.e. AY 2015-16 but on the final upload page there’s no option to opt for AY 2015-16!! The latest year being AY 2014-15. Any ideas about it or is it just my network problem.
Thanks and regards
Mamata
Dear mamata,
ITR 4 has been made available only yesterday, there might be some technical issues. Kindly try uploading in next few days.
so did I thought, thanks for confirming.
Great job, good luck!!
I am applying ITR with ITR1 option. When i am putting deduction 129526 it is auto calculating to 100000. It also give warning that total deduction can not exceed GTI under chapter 4. Why it is not taking whole amount as saving i.e. 129526 since saving limit increased to 150000. Any help ?
Dear Tariq,
Which year’s ITR form are you referring to? Is this happening with respect to any particular tax deduction section?
Hello,
I have invested my saving as FD on name of my wife. This year Bank didn’t accept Form-15G as interest was threshold (as said by bank personnel)
They have started deducting TDS on matured FD’s from my wife’s account. Now, as I need to club her interest income in my income, if I show the interest income in my ITR the tax will be deducted double.
1. as TDS by Bank
2. according to my tax slab in my ITR as it will become my income in my ITR
Question: Can I claim refund of TDS based on my wife’s PAN in my ITR? Because I am going to pay full tax as a part of my ITR, so TDS should be refunded which was deducted from my wife’s account.
If not, do I need to file ITR of my wife to claim refund of TDS?
Thanks,
Vishal Patel
Dear Vishal,
The interest income earned on your RDs which are in the name of your wife should be clubbed to your income.
If bank has deducted say 10% TDS and you are also in 10% bracket then there won’t be any tax liability.
If you are not a tax assessee then you can show this income in your ITR and claim the refund.
If you are above 10% bracket then you need to pay balance tax.
Kindly read my article – TDS & Misconceptions.
Hello Srikanth,
I looked at the given article and completely clear with tax implications of FDs as long as all FDs are on my name. I am in 20% tax bracket, so bank will deduct 10% and I need to pay extra 10% as ‘Self Assessment’ tax.
But FDs are on my wife’s name, so TDS deduction will be based on her PAN number. While I am filing my ITR1, there is not input available to mention PAN number in “SCH TDS2” in e-filing utility. So if I mention TDS of my wife, IT department may find it wrong as those deductions won’t be reflected on my PAN number in Form 26A. On the other hand, if I don’t claim her TDS, I will end-up paying 20% in addition to 10% TDS.
I am really confused and repenting on why I created FDs on wife’s name. [I did it in past to save income tax on interest under a big misconception]
If I file her ITR1, I may end-up paying less tax as I am in 20% tax bracket and she has no income.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Vishal
Dear Vishal,
Don’t worry, you may still get the refund amount.
You have to include the interest income on FDs which are on your wife’s name in your ITR but do not enter any TDS details in your ITR. Calculate the tax liability and pay the taxes as per your tax slab rate.
Your wife can file ITR too and enter the TDS details and get the refund amount.
Thank you very much, this is now more clear. You have provided great information in this regard. However, just small clarification, please 🙂
In my wife’s ITR, the income will be Zero {even income from other sources will also be Zero} and TDS will be claimed as refund, right?
(I am always worrying about how IT department will think about it – She has Zero income still claiming refund? And such thoughts causes more queries)
Please help.
Dear Vishal,
It shouldn’t be an issue.
Thank you Sreekanth.
I am a contractual consultant for govt. organization. They deduct tax under 194J. this is the only source of income for me. my yearly total remuneration/honararium/fee come to 480000. I also got interest on RD from bank amounting to Rs. 8600. what are the different options of saving the tax; I have LIC policy, rented house, two children studying in schools, medical insurance.
Dear Sushil,
Let me know the LIC plan name.
If you are under insured (do not have sufficient insurance cover), you may buy a Term plan (premium can be claimed u/s 80c).
For long-term wealth creation and tax saving purpose, you may consider investing in ELSS funds.
Consider buying a Health insurance cover for self and family, the premium can be claimed under Section 80d.
Read my article on list of Tax deductions for Financial year 2015-16.
thanks a million dear sreekanth
Hello,
In past I had created FDs in my wife’s name with intention to Save Tax. But later I came to know that the interest from wife will be considered as my income. {he is not doing any Job}
1. Interest from Saving accounts need to be mentioned in 80TTA. Where should I mention the interest from MY FDs and where to mention the interest of My Wife’s FDs in ITR1?
2. Rs. 10,000 interest is exempted from income tax. Does this allow FD interest? Or just Saving Bank interest?
3. This year, ITR1 is asking all bank accounts held by tax payer. Do I need to mention the accounts where I am SECOND holder?
Thank You,
Vishal
Dear Vishal,
1 & 2 – You need to mention Interest earned from Savings a/cs under Sec 80TTA (row no 62) in ITR1 – Income Details Sheet. (Interest earned from SB a/cs is exempted up to Rs 10,000. Kindly note that this is not applicable on FDs).
Interest earned from FDs can be shown under Income from other sources (Row no 43).
3 – I do not think it is required.
Glad to see such a quick response. One month back I has posted same question to another site and also to income tax department customer care, no answers yet.
You are doing a great favor to tax payer by publishing this blog.
Thank you Vishal for your kind words. Keep visiting 🙂
If I mention Saving A/C interest in 80TTA, it reduces the tax. So I guess same need to be mentioned in ‘Income from other sources’ as well.
In ‘Income from other sources’ it will be shown as income regardless of whether it is exempted or not. then mention in 80TTA to get deduction up to Rs. 10000.
Am I correct?
Dear Vishal,
Yes, the interest income has to be included under the head ‘income from other sources’ and then claim a tax deduction under section 80TTA.
Hi,
I quit my job in May’14 and have not been working since then. My total income for the current Assessment Year is below the taxable amount. Do i need to file Income Tax return this year and if yes what is the last date for filing it?
Thanks in Advance
Dear Purnima,
If your income is below the taxable limit, it is not mandatory to file your ITR.
(Last date is 31-aug-2015)
I am a retired Govt. Officer.My total pension for A/C year 2014-2015(Ass. year 2015-2016) is just below Rs.300000.I have no other income except pension.I am a senior citizen.Please clarify as to whether I should file any IT return(Manually or on line)
Dear NATARAJA,
Since your income is below the exemption limit, it is not mandatory to you to file ITR.
Dear Sir
I m a salaried person and have taken housing loan from SBI i have paid Rs. 1,80,000 as repayment of housing loan between 1 April 2014 and 31 march 2015. Part of it is Principle and part is interest. During E-filling ITR 1 I mentioned Principal repaid under section 80 c but there is no column for filling in housing loan interest repaid or section 24.
How should i mention the housing loan interest repaid in ITR 1. Or should i fill in some other ITR??
Regard
Dear Ravi,
You need to calculate the income from your house property and show it under ‘income from one house property’ section.
Hi,
Am an NRI for tax purposes. I earn 40000 per month as rent from house property (co-owned: self & wife). I do have home loan and this year payments (principal + Interest) is more than my income from property.
Questions:
If we (wife and self) divide the income equally that will be 240000, then we have not taxable income. Should we file return?
If yes, Which form should i use, ITR1 (2015) i don’t fine section 24 to claim interest paid towards the home loan?
Thanks
Chaitanya
Dear Chaitanya,
Do you have any other source of income (interest income from FDs/bank acs/agri income etc.,)
You can show the loss from house property under ‘income from house property section’.
Kindly read my article : NRI taxation rules.
Hi ,
I switched my Job this financial year and I have two form 16 . My current employer deducted the tax as per salary below 5 Lac/yr. and my previous employer also deducted the tax as per below 5 lac/yr . If I file return adding both the amount it goes above 5 lac/yr. and it shows still I have to pay the tax . Let me know if any solution is there .
Dear Deepak,
You have to pay the applicable tax dues and file your ITR by submitting the total income. Cross check your Form 26AS before submitting your ITR.
Is it necessary to continue with the same Person through whom I have filed ITR for the AY 2015-16 for future filings or I can change to a new party. If so, what is the procedure to change? I am not able to view the current Returns without his password and I am not able to do e-verification without his help. Please advise.
Chinnaraju
Dear Chinnaraju,
You can e-file your taxes by self and can also use other person’s (CA) help.
Request him to provide the current password and then reset the password by yourself.
If he refuses to part with the password, is there a way of getting a new password. I am paying more than 7,000/- for his services for simply filing. No complications in my case which includes only LIC annuity and fixed deposit interests and 80C investments for deduction. Hence this request. Moreover, I have not seen the final e-filed return also for AY 2015-16. Pl help.
Dear Chinnaraju,
You can reset your e-filing login password. But you need to provide atleast few details of your last IT return.
I have emailed a detailed manual on how to reset password. Kindly go through it and let me know if you need any assistance 🙂

Dear Samant,
LTCG on shares is tax exempted but needs to be reported under ‘exempted income’ section. You may use ITR 1 .
does this mean that the date for payment of any extra self assessment tax has also been extended upto 31 August?
Dear Abhishek,
Yes, you can pay self assessment taxes (if any) for FY 2014-16 by Aug end.

Hi Sreekanth,
I was filling ITR 1 online, but did not see rows D13 to D20. It ends at D12; therefore, I am unable to complete the form. Please let me know what is going on. I am using Chrome browser. Thanks very much.
No need to reply, Sreekanth. There was a tab at the end which brought me to the page with he rows D13 to D20. Thanks.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for informative website.My father gets his pension from state govt and he is residing with us in Australia for last 4 months.
If i need to file his returns online , will income tax website show his income details.
In Online Income details tab of ITR-1 form , income fields are empty and in Tax details tab Income Under Salary is showing as 82824 and tax deducted as 16030.
Could you let me know what these fields mean?
Dear Pavan,
You need to fill the income details and submit your ITR. You have to pay self-assessment tax (if any).
IT website do not provide income details. I did not get your what you are trying to ask. Kindly rephrase your query..
Sir,
I’m trying to file ITR-1, when I filling the form it does not show the refund amount even I filled the details of TDS deduction. I’m comes under the income slab of less than rs. 250000. but refund cell does not show the refund amount. I’m trying to write my self in that cell but the cell is protected. I’m unable to claim my refund amount. please reply
Dear Ritesh,
Did you include any income other than the one in your Form 16?? (Are you employed or self-employed?)
Hi Sreekanth,
1. For Tax filing for 2015-16 assessment year –
a) Does a resident salaried individual need to provide all bank account details where he is a second-JOINT account holder ?
b) If one stayed and earned abroad for 6 months in FY 2014-15 and paid taxes there in abroad and still only hold that salary account without further credits, should he declare that as asset ?
2. In general, after what duration staying abroad one earns NRI status – 183 days? What document validates one is NRI ?
3. Does an NRI must convert all his ‘resident savings bank account’ to NRO even if he helds it as JOINT-SB account with his resident dependents ?
4. Banks where I have FDs already submitted 15G; now I mentioned bank details. Do I again need to fill-up interests in ITR 1 ? If yes, which page and section ?
Regards,
Roy
Dear Roy,
1)a) – I believe it is not required
b) – Yes, you may have to provide foreign bank account details too.
2) – Your passport is enough to validate this. Kindly read my article : How to check Residential status ?
3) – Yes, you have to update your bankers about your Residential status.
4) – You need to include them in your ITR under Income form other sources.
Dear Sreekanth,

Hello Srikanth ji,
I have a question. For the Income period 2014-15 I have been earning in USA as I am on a Project work and I am paid the US salary. I also pay tax here. This period there is no Indian Salary to me except I have been earning some interests for my existing Fixed Deposits in India. Now which form do I need to fill in for my IT Returns in India for the assessment year 2015-16.
Dear Surojit,
If your income from other sources (FDs) is in taxable limit, you can file ITR1. Kindly read my articles : NRI Taxation & Which ITR form to file?

Uday Kale
Dear Uday,
Besides income from Salary, do you have any other source of Income? (FD /Savings bank ac interest, NSC,RD etc)
(Actually there are lot of conditions that need to be met for not filing ITR. It is advisable to file your ITR.)
Dear Sreekanth, I am a retired person and I have taken Agency for Fixed Deposit and Mutual Fund agency. During FY 2014-15 I have Salary income, Pension from LIC Jeevan Suraksha Plan, Interest on FDs, Brokerage on FD deposit as agent and as MF agent, part consultancy income . please let me know which Form I should use for my IT return for AY 2015-16. Whether Pension under Jeevan Suraksha Plan is to be included in my income n whether it is taxable? Your response will be highly solicited.
Dear Girish,
I believe you have to file ITR4.
Are you sure that you get pension under Jeevan Suraksha plan?
Hi Sreekanth, appreciate your blog. I hv a very quick Q.
I work full time, and also have a part-time job with a Government agency, and as well as do freelance work. How do I file my returns? Only with ITR1?
And I just total my salaries from part-time and freelance work together and mention it in the form? Little confused here.. So hoping your favorable advice.. 🙂 thanks much..
Dear Ravi,
Do you have any other source of income? (property,capital gains, agri income etc.,)
Is the income from Freelancing on Presumptive basis?
No, Sreekanth. I don’t have any property,capital gains, agri income etc., I have a full time job. and and my part-time job is on contract/assignment basis with govt organization (weekly once only)
The freelancing job is presumptive because I only do it if someone approaches me with an opportunity. so its presumptive you can say. Thanks.
Dear Ravi,
Your case is bit tricky. If you are paid Professional fees, it is advisable to file ITR 4.
If you are paid proper salary then you can file ITR2.
(Only if you are paid commission or professional fees, you can file ITR-4, in which case you can claim deductions of expenses incurred toward earning your income such as internet charges, electricity, etc.)
I am holding a NRI savings account , but for 2015-16 i am filling return as resident. do i need to declare my NRI account in ITR1.
Dear Aman,
I believe it is not required.
Hi,
I am a software professional with an active Foreign Account and Stocks in a company listed at NASDAQ. Now the account / stocks were created / obtained pre 2009 when I was in US. For the last 6 years I have not been to US.
Now I understand I have to file ITR2 because I have capital gains to show in India. Also I have foreign bank account + stocks listed in NASDAQ. To that effect, can you guide me with the sections I need to update vis-a-vis Foreign Accounts / Assets specially since I had no foreign salary / no interest / no stock related capital gains during the last tax cycle. Its just that I am holding on the bank account and a few stocks of a company.
Please guide me as I am struggling to get any data regarding this on the net.
Regards
Amit
Dear Amit,
When you do not have any income then what is to be shown as foreign income?
Did you receive any interest income from foreign bank account? Did you receive any dividend income on the shares held by you?
Thanks for your reply. Really appreciate it.
Problem is while I have no interest income or capital gains from my foreign asset but I do hold them. I have around 1200 USD in my US account (the account is no interest account) and as already mentioned hold some shares for which I got no dividend / neither did I sell any shares.
With this as background, given the new 2015-16 IT R 2 do I need to declare them at all is the question which is bothering me?
Regards
Amit
Dear Amit,
I believe that you may have to provide details of your foreign bank account and shares held in Schedule FA of ITR2.
Thanks Once Again.
Final question. Should I go for Schedule FA B or FA D for the declaring the shares related Details?
Regards
Amit
Thanks. 2 remaining questions.
1. What should be the exchange rate as ITR 2 needs me to declare foreign assets in INR. Question I am asking is because the exchange rate when the asset was acquired might be different from what it is now.
2. Just a confirmation that for Shares the section where details need to be filled up is Schedule FA D.
Regards
Amit
Dear Amit,
1 – As per ITR, we need to show ‘Cost value’, so you may have to show as per the exchange rate (rupee value) as on acquisition date.
2 – Yes, in Schedule FA D.
i am HUF and my income is interest income only so please suggest which ITR we file

Dear Sreekanth Ji,
In last Financial Year , I withdrew my PF amount in full (after resignation from that Co. ) before 03 yrs of continuous service & the PF amt. was more than 30,000/- I want to know whether PF withdrawn in last financial year is taxable ( PAN no. informed already to EPFO) . In case , PF withdrawn in last financial year is taxable , whether the EPFO has already released the amt . after deduction of Tax Or we have to do self assessment & declare the same in ITR.
In case we have to declare the PF amt. in ITR — under which head we shall mention the same. Further , pls. also intimate if full amt. of PF withdrawn will be taxable which includes the Employee portion as well as Employer portion & interest accrued on that. How to calculate Tax on That.
Pls. also intimate , whether the salary paid by the co. in lieu of Notice Period is taxable or Not.
Thx in anticipation.
Dear Sanjeev,
The new TDS rules with respect EPF withdrawals before 5 years are applicable wef June 1st.
But kindly note that withdrawls before 5 years are taxable and you need to provide these details in your Income Tax Return. Full withdrawal amount has to be declared.
If TDS is not applicable then it does not mean that the EPF withdrawals are not taxable. Do note that, if you withdraw your PF balance before the expiry of five years of continuous service, then it is taxable in the year in which withdrawal has happened. In addition to this, your employer’s contributions along with the accumulated interest amount will be taxed as “profits in lieu of salary”. Interest accumulated on your (employee) contributions will be taxed under the head “Income from other sources”. The tax deductions claimed on your contributions will be revoked or rolled back, and shall be liable to tax.
You can find employer & employee contribution details EPF statement.

Dear Kumar,
You can find TDS details in your Form 16 or Form 26AS. This is the amount that your employer has deducted on your income for a given financial year.

Dear Mr. Reddy,
I am an NRI living in USA. I have a house in India which I gave out for rent. I have some FDs in banks for which I get interest. Apart from those two incomes, I don’t have any other income. I invested in some section 80CC eligible insurance schemes, the premium paid to which I can deduct. Given this situation, can you please tell me which ITR form can I use for my FY2014-15 taxes? ITR1 OR ITR2?
One more question. When I go to the efling site https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/. I only see the ITR1(Sahaj) and ITE4S formes. Does that mean we cannot eFile any other forms (like ITR2)?
Dear Srinath,
All new ITR forms are now available on IT dept e-filing website. Kindly check..
Dear Srinath,
If you have only one house property, you can file ITR1.
my gross income for year 2014-15 is 3 lac. But my net income is below 2.5 lac.In my form 16 no tax is deducted. Should i file the return…

Dear Ashok,
I believe that you refile your FY 2011-2012 (AY 2012-13) ITR now, but these kind of returns will be treated as ‘time bared’ returns (as only last two years ITRs are accepted). So, it is up to the IT dept to accept such returns or not. Suggest you to consult a practicing Chartered Accountant.
Thanks for you Input sree..
i am salarised person . my income is less than 5 lakhs. can i e file itr for financial year 2014-15.directly from incometax web side? at present when i am trying to efile from web side then only assessment year 2014-15. shows then if you can guide me then please do so. thanks
Yes you can efile.
Assessment year will be 2014-15 only as of now (previous year).
Govt is simplifying the ITR forms and hence there is delay for AY 2015-16.
Wait till notification is out. They expect this Month end AY 2015-16 ITR be available.
Thank you Raaj for pitching in..Keep visiting 🙂

Also, What is the difference between RNOR and NRI
Dear Vinodh,
Suggest you to read my article : ” Check your residential status & NRI taxation“.
I read in News paper that there is a penalty of Rs: 200-00 per day after expiry of due date of filing for AY 2015-16 is it true?
Dear MADHUDUSHAN,
The due date for AY 15-16 is not yet announced, mostly it will be 31st-Aug-15. Why do you want to file after the due date?
Hi, I have some extra amount that I received during the year that needs to be declared in Form 16 now, which wasn’t declared earlier. There wasn’t any tax levied on it too.
How can I now declare that additional amount and pay the relevant extra tax before I file the Form 16 ?
Prashanth
Dear Prashanth,
Kindly note that you don’t file Form 16, you need to file your Income Tax Returns (ITR). While preparing your tax returns, include the said amount and file your ITR accordingly. The new ITR forms for FY 2014-2015 will be available by this month end.
Has the filing of IT return FY 2014-15 ( AY 2015-16) started? I could not find the same in the online IT website for filing returns. The drop down menu still shows FY 2013-14 till date. Please clarify as when can we start filing the returns online for FY 2014-15? Thanks
Dear Praveen,
As of now the Final versions of ITR forms for AY 2015-2016 has not yet been released and there is no official update about the Timeline too. Let’s wait for more details. I will update this article as soon as the forms are made available.
Thanks for the information . Keep up the useful work . With Best Wishes.. Regards

Dear Sreekanth,
I am a ret. SC. I have a FD which earns less than Rs 10000 interest. In the same branch I also have RD which earns more than Rs 10000 interest.
Will these Two interest be treated separately for TDS i.e, since int on FD is less than 10000 there will be no TDS on FD and TDS will be deducted only on RD int which is more than 10000, or they will be combined and TDS will be deducted on total int earned on FD+RD.
Thus while submitting 15H, do I need to submit it for only RD or for both RD and FD though FD interest is less than 10000?
Kindly clarify.
Dear Mahesh,
I believe that there is no clarity yet on this issue.
All FD accounts and all RDs accounts can be treated separately to arrive at Rs 10k limit respectively.
But, suggest you to submit Form 15 H for both the accounts.
my son has no taxable income in india [ that is income from rent etc. less than taxable limit] is he required to file tax return ?
Dear Mahendra,

Dear Mr. Reddy,
Thanks for useful information you have posted. One query from my side, I am working out side India, and did not file IT return since 2005 as no taxable income in India. I have small amount FD and earning less than 1 lac from rent. Please advise, should I file IT return or no? Last year, purchased a flat on instalments, and paying TDS for instalments.
Dear Sanjay,
If you have a home loan and want to claim any loss under the head ‘income from house property’ then you may have to file your Income Tax Return. Kindly consult a Chartered Accountant.
Is there a limitation on the number of Savings Bank Accounts a person can hold?
Dear Anand,
I believe there is no restriction as such.

Your query may be answered here.
Dear Raaj,
But the link talks about only ‘basic savings bank account’ (no frills account). A bank customer can have any number of savings bank accounts. What is your opinion?
