Sir,

A client has started a nursery business on 6 acres of leased agricultural land. He purchases live plants ranging from 2 feet to 8 feet height from other nurseries. These plants are then maintained in the nursery for more than 6 months. During this period, labourers carry out watering, manuring/fertilizer application, pruning, cutting and other growth-related activities. The plants undergo substantial biological growth before being sold.

In these facts, whether the income from sale of such grown plants can be treated as Agricultural Income under Section 2(1A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, or should it be assessed as Business Income?

If Assessee is having 9 Trucks & gross receipts is more than 2 crore.
can we file return ITR-4 under section 44AE or required tax audit??

Hi,

I have few queries regarding reporting of house property in ITR :

1. If I have 1 or 2 self occupied house property, where do i report them in ITR? (Considering net income for both as zero).

2. Is a commercial property also part of house property?

3. I have bought a residential plot for investment. Will it also form a part of house property?

Thanks in Advance.

Sir, my son has income of Rs. 10 lacs from aboard as a freelance job on contract basis plus 7 lacs income from salary earned in India.
He is providing service as a healthcare and setting their client health claim. Whether all the amount is taxable of freelancer or 50 percent will be counted for tax purpose. No books maintain.
Or 6 perecent income will count for tax purpose? He is worked backend office and money is coming in account through gateway. My CA is saying if you will go unde section 44Ad, chances are notice. I have a advise which is proof of payment from abroad. What will be the tax liability? For freelancer income portion

Since the property was registered and transferred on 28 March 2026, but the buyer paid the balance amount and deposited TDS in May 2026 (Tax Year 2026-27), in which assessment year should I claim the TDS credit of 2 lakh ?

Can the TDS credit be claimed against the capital gains reported for the property sale dated 28 March 2026, or must it be claimed only in the tax year in which Form 132 reports the TDS?

TDS entry showing in Tax year 2026-27 not in 2025-26

Has anyone dealt with a similar Form 132 / Tax Year 2026-27 transition case under the new Income-tax Act, 2025? or anyone tried to change the assesment year after 7 days window close

Hi everyone,
Please give suggestions on what income tax filing-software to be used for filing personal income tax returns for financial year 2025-26.
I have previously used ClearTax and TaxCloudIndia for filing personal income tax returns. Since TaxCloudIndia has been discontinued, I am looking for similar, budget-friendly, and user-friendly alternative to manage income tax returns for the financial year 2025-26.
I am specifically looking for a platform that meets the following criteria:
• Complex ITR filings - Able to handle complex ITR filings (multiple income streams) efficiently.
• Technical Support: Excellent customer service with quick resolution times. I have had poor experiences with 'expert-assisted' models in the past where the support staff lacked the necessary technical expertise for complex cases, so I prefer a platform that offers robust, knowledgeable technical support.
I would appreciate suggestions for income tax filing-software that offers a smooth workflow and reliable backend support.
Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
