Reminder from Income Tax Department for Income Tax Return Filing

The income tax department has sent out emails to tax payers reminding them to e-file income tax returns for income earned in FY 2015-16 (assessment year AY 2016-17).

The due date for submission of tax returns for FY 2015-16 is 31st July 2016.

The following email has been sent-

Dear Taxpayer,

By this time last year, you may have had already electronically filed your Income Tax Return. This is a gentle reminder for you to file your Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2016-17. E-filing is simple, easy and convenient as you would have experienced in the last year.

You are requested to login to https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and download the free return preparation software with a host of new features to help you in preparing the Income Tax return and submit your return. You can also prepare and submit ITR1 and ITR4S online. Please take some time to browse through all the value -added services offered on the E-filing website that will help you prepare your return accurately and guide you in case of any prior pending items.

Electronic verification facility (e-Verify using EVC) is also available using which you can avoid the signing and sending of the ITR-Verification form to CPC Bangalore. Please refer to the user manual here on how to e-Verify the return.

Needless to mention that the quicker you submit your return and e-Verify using EVC / send the signed ITR-V (ITR-Verification) form to CPC, Bangalore, the faster your refund, if any, would be processed and credited to your bank account.

Who should file an income tax return for FY 2015-16?

  • Total income exceeds Rs 2.5lakhs – If your total income for FY 2015-16 is more than Rs 2.5lakhs you should file your income tax return immediately. Its compulsory to file a tax return if your income exceeds this limit irrespective of whether you have paid income tax or not.

  • Excess TDS deducted – If excess TDS has been deducted on your income, the only way to get a tax refund if by filing a return. You must aggregate income from all sources first. Now tax is calculated on the total income. Any TDS which is already deducted can be adjusted from total tax payable. If excess TDS is deducted there will be a refund situation. This usually happens when you forget to claim deductions via your employer and claim them while filing your tax returns.

  • Those with foreign bank accounts, or assets, ESOPs- if you have any foreign bank accounts or have retirement accounts outside India. Or your employer has given you ESOPs for a company which is listed outside India; it is mandatory for you to file your tax return and report them.

 

Steps to take NOW –

  • If you have already filed your income tax return, remember to VERIFY your return. Your return filing process is not complete unless you verify your tax return. Verification can be done via EVC code or aadhaar OTP or through your net banking account. Or by sending the ITR-V by post.

  • If you have not e-filed, FILE SOON to receive refund faster. The income tax department has mentioned in the email that the sooner you file your return and verify it, the faster your refund shall be processed and credited to your bank account.

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

NPS Investment Choice for Safe Investors

Invest NPS Online       Whether they invested through SIPs or put in a lump sum amount, risk-averse individ uals have earned the highest returns. These are investors who stayed away from stocks and divided their NPS corpus between G class gilt funds and C class corporate debt funds. On average, gilt funds have given 9.75% annualised returns while corporate debt funds have churned out more than 11% in the past five years. As a result, the average return for ultra-safe investors in the past five years is in double digits. Even in the short term, ultrasafe investors have been the biggest gainers among NPS investors. Will the good times continue? The gilt funds of NPS are holding long-term bonds with an average maturity of over 19 years and a modified duration of about 9 years.These funds have done well because interest rate cuts have pushed down bond yields. But experts say this trend will not stay forever. NPS is a long-term investment and the bonds are predominantly held to matu...

Buy Health Insurance Plan even if you are covered with my Employer

Buy Health Insurance Plan Online Yes, getting a private insurance cover now, which extends beyond your retirement age, is recommended There are a few reasons why buying a health insurance plan may make sense even though you get medical insurance from your employer. Here are the points you need to think about. Firstly, your employer's insurance coverage will only protect you as long as you are employed with the company. The policy will terminate when you quit the job or when you retire. Post retirement is perhaps the phase when one needs it the most but you won't have it then. Moreover, buying a new insurance policy after the age of 50 means that there will be no coverage for pre-existing diseases.   Lastly, health insurance policy you get from your employer may or may not cover your dependants. ------------------------------ ----------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE

Invest SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE   SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP fund didn't fare well in its initial years but, in recent years, has steadily improved its performance under the capable hands of its current fund manager. Although investing predominantly in mid-cap stocks, the average market capitalisation of its portfolio is lower than other category peers.   Although the stock selection approach is mostly bottom-up , the fund manager doesn't shy away from taking bold sector bets , as is reflected in its large exposure to the healthcare sector. She is equally adept at handling performance across market cycles--the fund has captured more of the upside during market upticks and contained the downside during downturns in a better manner than its peers.   Given its superior risk-reward equation, the fund is a worthy pick in its category.     ----------------------------------------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.
