Link PAN with Aadhaar

 
Even if your income is below taxable limits, linking of PAN and Aadhaar is compulsory.

If you thought that you don't have to link your PAN with Aadhaar because your income is below taxable limit and you don't file income tax returns, you are wrong. If you don't file income tax return but possess both PAN and Aadhaar then linking the two is compulsory. Otherwise your PAN will be liable to become invalid from a date to be notified by the government, as per Section 139AA of the Act.

The recent Supreme Court order provides interim relief to those who may have PAN but do not have an Aadhaar and have not applied for one as yet from having to compulsorily link the two. It does not provide any relief to those who already have both PAN and Aadhaar.

Even individuals who are not required to file income tax returns due to income being below exemption limit but possess both PAN and Aadhaar are mandatorily required to link both by a date to be notified as per Section 139AA. If such individuals do not link the two by the date to be notified then their PAN will become invalid as per Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act introduced in the last Budget.

This means that a large number of people--senior citizens, students, entrylevel workforce, housewives etc. who have PAN and Aadhaar both, but don't file returns, will have to link the two numbers. This can be done via the income tax department's e-filing website.

As per Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, every person who has been allotted PAN as on 1 July 2017 and who is eligible to obtain Aadhaar Number shall intimate the same to the tax authorities before a date to be notified by the government. On failure to do so, the PAN of those persons shall stand to be invalid and provisions of this act shall apply as if the person does not hold a PAN. The validity of this section was challenged in the Supreme Court on the grounds at it is violating the Article 19(1) (g) of the Constitution.

According to a recent CBDT press release, the Supreme Court has upheld constitutional validity of the Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act.

As per the release, the effect of this judgement is as follows: (i) From 1 July 2017 onwards every person eligible to obtain Aadhaar must quote their Aadhaar number or their Aadhaar Enrolment ID number for filing of income tax returns as well as while applying for allotment of PAN.

(ii) Everyone who has been allotted PAN as on 1 July and who has an Aadhaar number, shall intimate his Aadhaar number to tax authorities for the purpose of linking PAN with Aadhaar.

A partial relief by the court has been given to those who do not have Aadhaar and who do not wish to obtain Aadhaar for the time being. Their PAN will not be cancelled and other consequences under the Income Tax Act for failing to quote PAN would not arise.

BHIM App

What is BHIM? BHIM stands for Bharat Interface for Money , which is an easy way of transferring money from one bank account to an other via a smartphone using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) platform . It is an instant payments application meant for sending money as well as requesting for payments. How is it different from UPI? BHIM is no different than UPI.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free. Turn to page 28 to see how much tax this can save. However, the take-home pay of the employee will come down. Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax upto Rs 46,350 under Section 80C.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds     `HOW green was my valley'. This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
