Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 


Higher penalty

The last date to file your income-tax returns (ITR) is usually 31 July, unless it is extended by the income tax department. From the assessment year 2018-19, if you don't pay your tax on or before the deadline, you will have to pay a penalty of up to Rs10,000 for late payment. If you file returns after 31 July and on or before 31 December, you will have to pay Rs5,000 as penalty. However, if you file returns after 31 December, you will have to pay a fine of Rs10,000. This penalty is applicable for those who have a taxable income of more than ₹5 lakh. If your taxable income is up to ₹5 lakh and you have delayed your ITR, you will have to pay ₹1,000 penalty.

1% interest a month

If you don't pay on time and also have tax due, then besides the higher penalty of ₹5,000 or ₹10,000, whichever is applicable, you will also have to pay 1% penal interest on the tax amount that is due. Say your taxable income is ₹10 lakh and your unpaid tax amount is ₹20,000. If you file returns on 1 January, you will have to pay an interest at 1% for August to December. For five months, you will pay ₹11,000

(₹1,000 as penal interest plus ₹10,000 penalty).

Must for other services

It is important to file returns because you may be asked to provide income tax returns details to avail of various services. For instance, some countries ask you to furnish three- to five-year income tax return details as part of the visa issuing process, which you have to submit to the visa authorities. Another place where you may have to provide ITR details is to process home loan from financial institutions. Through your income-tax returns, the authorities are able you understand your income flow and decide whether they want to lend to you or not.

Liquidity Adjustment Facility

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a money market tool used by the central bank of a country (in India it is the Reserve Bank of India ), to infuse funds into the country's banking system when liquidity dries up. Again, in case there is excess liquidity, the central bank uses some tools to help banks manage their surplus liquidity. Usually the RBI uses the repurchase facility (called Repo ) to give short-term loans to banks to meet their temporary liquidity shortage. On the other, hand RBI uses reverse repo facility to help banks park their excess liquidity with it. Banks usually use various securities, which are approved by the RBI, as collateral when they take money from the RBI to meet their short term liquidity requirement     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.
