Posted by ANANDH SUNDAR 20 March 2012 8294 Views

The Budget of FY12-13 dropped a tax bombshell by introducing a retrospective change in law from 1962, directed at Vodafone and other simillar cases. While my esteemed seniors will doubtless analyze or litigate this change in law, I thought it fit to



Immoral/Illegal/Against public policy-yet taxable or tax deductible in India
