Residential house property letting income taxed under 'Income from house property', not 'Business income'. Section 28 amended for clarity from AY 2025...
TDS on property transfer based on aggregate payment to all sellers, not individual payments below Rs. 50L. Prevents misinterpretation. Effective 1/10/...
Clause 442 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025, mirrors Section 271AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961, by imposing penalties for failure to maintain, report, or furnish accurate documentation related to international and specified domestic transactions. It prescribes a 2% penalty on the transaction value for defaults such as non-maintenance, non-reporting, or incorrect information, and a flat penalty of five lakh rupees for failure to furnish required information. While the substantive obligations and penalty amounts remain consistent with the earlier provision, Clause 442 omits the "without prejudice" clause allowing concurrent penalties under other sections, potentially limiting multiple penalties. The provision enhances compliance enforcement but raises interpretative issues regarding reasonable cause defenses, proportionality of penalties, and applicability to ongoing cases. Taxpayers must ensure rigorous documentation and reporting to avoid significant penalties, while authorities retain strong enforcement powers under the updated statutory framework.
