Salaried employees earning up to Rs 5 lakh a year need nod file income tax returns from this year

 

Salaried employees earning up to Rs 5 lakh a year need nod file income tax returns from this year, the Finance Ministry said.

 

The exemption from filing I-T returns is applicable only if "the total income of the employee does not exceed Rs 5 lakh... (and) the annual interest earned from savings bank account is less than Rs 10,000" for assessment year 2012-13.

 

Filing I-T returns is, however, necessary to claim refunds.

 

The last date for filing tax returns is July 31.

 

There are about 85 lakh salaried persons in the country whose yearly income, including earnings from other sources like bank deposits, does not exceed Rs 5 lakh.

 

The exemption will be permitted only if the assessee has received a certificate of tax deduction in Form 16 from the employer. The employees have to report income from interest on savings bank account to the employer to become eligible for exemptions.

 

Earlier, it was obligatory for all salaried persons to file income tax returns under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

 

Meanwhile, the tax department said special counters will be set up in Delhi and 'Tax Kiosks' in various parts of Mumbai to assist people in filing income tax returns.

 

Unlike the previous years, the tax department will not set up any return receipt counters are at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.

 

"Instead returns will be received at Civic Centre, opposite Ramlila Ground, New Delhi, from July 26 to 31.

 

The Mumbai Income Tax Department will set up 'Tax Kiosks', manned by Tax Return Preparers, at various locations in city to assist individual and HUF taxpayers in preparation and filing of the returns. A tax payer will have to pay Rs 250 to avail services of TRPs.

 

'Tax Kiosks' will be functional in certain residential areas on July 22 and in certain offices on July 24 and 25.

 

At present, income of Rs 2-5 lakh attracts 10% tax, Rs 5-10 lakh 20 per cent and above Rs 10 lakh, 30%.

Happy Investing!!

Birla Sun Life Tax Plan Online

Invest Birla Sun Life Tax Plan Online   An Open-ended Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) with the objective to achieve long-term growth of capital along with income tax relief for investment.   After a bad patch from 2008 to 2010, Birla Sun Life Tax Plan has made a big comeback in the last five years, with a particularly good run since 2014. The fund's rankings, which had slipped to two stars in 2011-12, recovered sharply to three-four stars in the last three years. The fund has delivered a particularly large outperformance over its benchmark and peers in the last couple of years. The fund's investment strategy focuses on a diversified and high-quality portfolio, with parameters such as capital ratios and balance-sheet strength used to judge quality. It uses a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches to take sector/stock positions. The fund avoids highly leveraged plays. Staying more or less fully invested at all times, the fund parks roughly half of its portfoli

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis

Mutual Fund Review: IDFC Premier Equity Fund

  IDFC Premier Equity Fund, which falls under the presumed high risk group of mid- and small-cap schemes, can rely on astute and timely equity picks. These make it less vulnerable to fluctuations compared with others in the category   IDFC Premier Equity Fund is designed to invest in upcoming, but promising businesses available at cheap valuations, and hold on to these businesses until they reap desired returns.
