I have got several LIC Jeevan Akshay Policies under which I get Annuity from LIC. I Have been showing this under Income from Other Sources for past few years. This year the ITR 2 Form does not have a clear row for 'Others' under Schedule OS. Under Column 'e' which says 'Others', the nature is specified as 'Family Pension, Retirement Benefit u/s 89, etc., none of which fits the case. The last column says "Any sum received, including the amount allocated by way of bonus, at any time during a previous year, under a life insurance policy referred to in section 56(2)(xiii)" - I understand this section pertains only to LIC Maturity taxable from FY 2023. So, where to show the Annuity Income.

I also received a small amount as as sitting fees for having served as an Independent Expert in a Board Committee. Where can I show this income under Schedule OS. As this amount is nominal I thought its ok to use ITR 2, rather than going for the complex ITR 3. Is this OK.

I m filling Form 10BD but again and again getting the error :- "Each record should located on a separate line and it should contain 12 columns throughout the file.The original excel file should not contain any double quotes,empty lines,forward slash(\). I have prepared the form with all the details but dont understand why I such error, kindly guide on this , Regards in advance

Sir,
Can we analyse a person's income from his bank statement.

I am a resident taxpayer filing my return under Section 44AD and have received interest of ₹356 from my NRE account. Kindly clarify whether this interest is exempt or taxable. If it is exempt, please specify the relevant section under the Income-tax Act under which the exemption is available; if taxable, please confirm whether it should be reported under the head "Income from Other Sources."

We have filed Income Tax Return for AY 24-25 against which Income Tax have raised demand after adjusting TDS on Salary. Please suggest the solution for this to avoid tax payment.

"On perusal of the Return of Income filed, you have exercised the option of "Opting out" of regime provided under subsection (1A) of Section 115BAC but Form 10IEA is not filed. However, the Form 10IEA has not been filed under sub-section (1) of section 139 for furnishing the return of income. Hence, your return of income will be processed as per the provisions of section 115BAC (ie., under the new tax regime) and deductions/ exemptions and tax rates as per the said provision will be allowed."

Hello Sir,

EPFO has paid arrears of Higher Pension and deducted TDS.
However, the TDS has been reported under *Section 192A* instead of *Section 192*, although the payment is pension arrears and not PF withdrawal.
While filing *ITR-1*, the "Tax Paid" schedule allows editing of the TDS section.

The Employees who had filed return before 10 to 15 days with relief U/S 89 , neither they got refund, nor their form 10 E is approved by system. It still shows pending . The reason of pending may be due to TDS not appeared u/s 192.
Kindly advise:

1. Can I change the TDS section from *192A* to *192* while filing the return?

2. Will this have any legal or processing consequences, considering Form 26AS/AIS continues to reflect Section 192A?
3. What is the most appropriate and legally correct approach in this situation?
4. Can i insert feed back in AIS, that information is partially incorrect ? Arrears and TDS is correct only section appears 192 A instead of 192 is incorrect . Please suggest better idea , so that our refund should not delay due to this section error.

Your expert guidance will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

A partnership firm was formed and obtained PAN and GST registration in FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). However, the business did not commence during the year, and there was no turnover or income. Business started only in FY 2026-27 (AY 2027-28).

Query: Is filing an Income Tax Return for AY 2026-27 mandatory, or can it be skipped since there was no business activity or income?
