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.

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.

What measures does the budget contain that will specifically impact savers and investors? Here they are: 1. Housing loans exemption for self-occupied properties increased to Rs2 lakh: Earlier this amount was Rs1.5 lakhs. This move barely keeps pace with the inflation in asset values.   2. Investment limit under 80 (C) increased to Rs1.5 lakh: This is a good move again and offers some relief to taxpayers.   3. IT exemption increased to Rs2.5 lakh, Rs3 lakh for senior citizens. This comes as a minor relief for taxpayers.   4. Annual PPF ceiling to be enhanced to Rs1.5 lakh, from Rs1 lakh: This is in tune with the change in 80C.   5.

ELSS Funds for different Risk Profile

Match your Goals Risk Profile With ELSS Investment   DIFFERENT TRACKS Unlike funds with a clearly defined investment universe -- large-cap, mid-cap or multi-cap - Tax Saving Schemes do not specify investment focus If you are looking for an equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) to pare your tax burden, the plethora of options may confuse you. Many investors simply opt for ELSS funds , also called tax saving schemes with the best return over a certain time period. However, this may not yield the best results. There are several types of ELSS funds and it requires a nuanced approach to pick the right one. DIFFERENT RISK PROFILES Unlike funds with a clearly defined investment universe -- large-cap, midcap or even multi-cap schemes in the ELSS category do not specify their investment focus.

For instance, some funds take a distinct large-cap tilt with a limited exposure to mid or small-cap st...

Personal Finance: How to move through Stock Market tough times!

If you have lost money, then have a hard look at your holdings. It is time to be patient ULTIMATELY, you cannot really lose money in the stock market! If you have, then either you have not been in the stock market long enough or you are in the process of getting the most expensive education. In the last 15 years, I have portfolios earning about Rs 5 lakh from share dividends alone against others who started with Rs 5 lakh and today owe the broker about Rs 3 lakh. When the markets, Sensex moved from 4,000 to 7,000 points, people thought it was a bubble and many sold out by the time it reached 12,000 points. A huge majority lost the run from 9k to 16k. Seeing their folly, many entered around 17-18k levels and in two months, saw their portfolios doubling. Greed peaked, speculation peaked and the fall shattered millions of dreams. Is there someone sitting on profits today? The answer is a resounding yes! Here are examples. HDFC was quoting at Rs 300 in 1999 and touched about Rs 3,000 earl...
