Benefits of e-Filing your Tax Returns before 31st Aug 2018

 

From the Prime Minister to your office colleague, everyone seems to be talking about one thing, taxes! The tax deadline is here. And the due date for filing income tax returns


Here are 5 benefits of filing your taxes by this date –


 Revision is possible
Many a times, taxpayers commit mistakes while submitting their returns. An incorrect mobile number or forgetting to claim a deduction are common errors. Sometimes an income may not have been included. Filing your returns by due date makes revision possible.


Faster refund

Income tax department has been processing refunds faster for returns filed on time. Delays in filing also means delay in receiving refund. Last year, the department processed refunds within 2-3 weeks of filing. So if excess TDS has been deducted on your income, do not delay your filing.


Paying tax dues timely

A lot of taxpayers see a tax due in their return after they consolidate their incomes and prepare their submission. This may happen due to inclusion of interest income. If there is a tax due, interest keeps accumulating until it is paid. So filing on time makes sure taxes are paid in time and interest (under sections 234B and 234C) does not keep adding up. Why shell out extra money when you can file on time and save on penal interest?


Avoiding interest under section 234A

Though interest under 234B and 234C is levied if there is tax due and taxpayer did not pay advance tax; taxpayers can avoid paying interest under section 234A by filing their return on time. This interest is charged @ 1% per month. It is calculated from the due date till the date on which you actually file your return.


Carry forward your losses

A lot of taxpayers have short term losses from equity shares. These losses can carried forward in your tax return and set off from capital gains in succeeding 8 years. To be able to do this, your return must be filed within the due date. Losses from business and profession are also allowed to be carried forward when return is filed on time. So remember to file on time if you have losses.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

SBI bonds FAQ

  Maximum retail subscription and over – subscription There is a lot of excitement around these bonds, so I won't be surprised if they get over-subscribed on the first day itself. So, I thought Sameer asked a very good question about over-subscription. Here is that discussion. Here are some other questions that you may find useful. Can I trade the SBI bonds on NSE after it lists? Yes, these can be traded after listing. Where can I get the application forms, and can I buy the bonds online? You can get the application from notified branches, and then fill it up there and submit it. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to invest in them online, but if anyone knows otherwise then please leave a message, and let us know. Can NRIs apply for these bonds? NRIs can't apply for these bonds as they fall under one of the ineligible categories. Can you take a loan by keeping the SBI bonds as security? The terms of the issue in the prospectus state that the bank shall no...
