Auditor's report: may be filed with a revised return to rectify omission from the original tax return. Where an assessee obliged to furnish an auditor's report with its income tax return fails to submit it with the original filing, the auditor's report may be furnished subsequently with the revised return, permitting rectification of that omission under the return amendment regime.
Assessment under section 143(1) not an assessment; revised return filed after intimation remains valid for consideration. An intimation issued under section 143(1) is procedural and does not constitute a formal assessment; therefore a revised return filed after such an intimation but within the statutory period must be treated as duly filed and considered by the Assessing Officer.
Share premium taxation under Section 56(2)(viib): excess consideration over fair market value is taxable on closely held companies. Taxability of share premium for a closely held company turns on whether consideration per share exceeds fair market value; if FMV exceeds consideration (FMV 42, consideration 40) no tax arises, whereas if consideration exceeds FMV (consideration 40, FMV 31) the excess per share (9) is taxable under the provision governing share premium receipts.
Taxability of discounted transfers to closely held companies: listed company shares are excluded from gift inclusion, so not taxable. Receipt of listed public company shares by a closely held company for consideration below fair market value does not attract tax under the provision addressing gifts to firms and closely held companies, because shares of a listed company are excluded from that inclusion and therefore are not characterized as taxable income from other sources under that rule.
Taxability of gifts: transfers from a partnership firm to an individual are taxable when the firm is not a relative. A gift of immovable property from a partnership firm to an individual is taxable under the gift provisions because a partnership firm is not a "relative" even if the partners are relatives; the stamp duty valuation of the plot is noted for valuation reference.
Taxability of gifts: gifts received from non-relatives are taxable under the gifts provision, not excluded as relative transfers. Gifts received by an individual or HUF from persons who do not qualify as "relatives" are taxable as income from other sources; in the example, gifts from a father's cousin and from the recipient's grandfather's elder brother are excluded from the relative exemption and the aggregate amount received from those non-relatives is taxable.
Gift taxation: stamp duty valuation excess over purchase price becomes taxable from the amendment's effective date under income rules. The amendment taxes, as Income from Other Sources, the difference between stamp duty value and actual purchase price where consideration is below stamp duty valuation, applying only from the amendment's effective date; transactions concluded prior to that date are not subject to this valuation-based charge.
Pre-construction interest deduction allows spreading pre-acquisition interest across subsequent assessment years, with current-year interest treated separately. Pre-construction interest under Sec. 24 is computed for the period from loan drawal to the day before completion; the total pre-construction interest (here computed as principal x months x rate) is capitalised and apportioned equally across the prescribed subsequent assessment years as the annual deduction. Interest accruing in the fiscal year of completion is allowed in that year and amounts accruing between the fiscal year start and actual completion date are excluded from the pre-construction spread.
Gross Annual Value calculation: vacancy adjustment reduces taxable house property value under applicable law provision. Annual Lettable Value is the higher of Municipal Value or Fair Rent but capped by Standard Rent, fixed here at 80,000. Annual receipts excluding unrealised rent are 54,000. Deducting vacancy loss of 18,000 from the Annual Lettable Value produces a Gross Annual Value of 62,000 as the taxable base for house property income.
Gross Annual Value under Section 23 caps assessed value at standard rent; vacancy adjustment affects the GAV calculation. Gross Annual Value under Section 23 applies the higher of municipal value or fair rent but not exceeding standard rent (63,000) as the Actual Lettable Value; after excluding unrealised rent and adjusting for vacancy, the Annual Rent Receivable is 42,000, taken as the Gross Annual Value under the cited provision.
Gross Annual Value rule for house property: higher of municipal or fair rent subject to standard rent cap. Determination of Gross Annual Value requires taking the higher of municipal value or fair rent as the annual lettable value, provided it does not exceed the standard rent; the Gross Annual Value is then the greater of this lettable value and the actual annual rent received excluding unrealised rent.
Gross Annual Value rule: ALV equals the higher of municipal value or fair rent but capped at standard rent. Annual Letting Value (ALV) is the higher of municipal value and fair rent but capped at the standard rent; with municipal value 60,000, fair rent 68,000 and standard rent 62,000 the ALV (and Gross Annual Value under the cited clause) is 62,000. Annual rent received excluding unrealised rent is 60,000, which is recorded separately from the statutory ALV used to determine Gross Annual Value.
Building and land appurtenant defined: includes residential and commercial structures and adjoining land like gardens. For house property chargeability, building includes residential, factory, office, shop, godown and other commercial premises, while land appurtenant means land connected with the building such as gardens and garages, establishing which assets constitute house property for income assessment.
Deduction under Section 80GG determined as the least of three statutory measures; example illustrates rent-based cap applies. Deduction under Section 80GG is the least of: (1) Rs. 2,000 per month (Rs. 24,000 per annum); (2) rent paid less 10% of total income; and (3) 25% of total income. In the supplied example with total income of Rs. 3,00,000 and rent paid Rs. 1,50,000, the three measures are Rs. 24,000; Rs. 1,20,000; and Rs. 75,000 respectively, so Rs. 24,000 is the allowable deduction under the prescribed formula.
Deduction under 80G requires a stamped receipt showing the trust's registration number and valid registration on donation date. Deduction u/s. 80G requires a stamped receipt evidencing the donation that records the trust's registration number for 80G, and the trust's registration must be valid on the date the donation is made; lacking validity or the registration number on the receipt affects entitlement to the deduction.
Donation deduction eligibility: employer certificate confirming salary deduction enables employee claim of 80G deduction on donations. Employees may claim a deduction under 80G where the employer provides a certificate stating the contribution was made from the employee's salary account; that employer statement operates as the operative documentary basis for the employee's deduction claim even if the donation receipt is in the employer's name.
Deductibility of donations: eligibility hinges on whether the recipient trust meets qualifying donee and compliance requirements. Whether donations to foreign trusts qualify for deduction under section 80G is a focused eligibility question hinging on whether the recipient trust is a qualifying donee and whether its registration, recognition, domicile or jurisdictional status and accompanying documentary proof and procedural compliance satisfy the statutory conditions for claiming a deduction.
Deduction for specified diseases: treatment costs for listed serious neurological, oncological, renal and hematological ailments qualify. Deduction for medical treatment is available for specified diseases and ailments: neurological disorders (including certified disability of 40% or above, dementia, dystonia musculorum deformans, motor neuron disease, ataxia, chorea, hemiballismus, aphasia, Parkinson's), malignant cancers, full blown AIDS, chronic renal failure, and hematological disorders such as hemophilia and thalassaemia.
Deduction under section 80DD: a cousin does not qualify as a dependent for claiming the deduction. The statutory dependent definition limits eligible relatives to spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, spouse's siblings, and parents' siblings; a cousin (daughter of mother's sister) is excluded, so expenses for her maintenance and medical treatment cannot be claimed as a deduction.
Disability deduction eligibility: a dependent sibling may claim 80DD deduction if financially supporting the disabled dependent. An Assessing Officer's objection that the son cannot claim the deduction because Mr. X receives pension is incorrect. Deduction under section 80DD covers dependents including brothers and sisters; the son may claim the deduction if the disabled daughter is dependent on him. The son should furnish an undertaking from Mr. X confirming the daughter's dependency on the son rather than on Mr. X.
