Sir, we are engaged in a nursery business where we purchase plants, grow them, and sell them. Maintaining a detailed inventory or stock register for each plant is practically difficult. Therefore, we maintain only Plants Purchases and Plants Sales in Tally.

In such circumstances, could we face any issues during Income Tax scrutiny? Can the Income Tax Department reject our books of accounts and estimate our profits merely because we do not maintain a detailed stock register?

What minimum records should we maintain to comply with Income Tax provisions and avoid scrutiny-related issues? Kindly advise with reference to the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act and applicable judicial precedents.

I filed the TDS return and later filed a revised return with the correct details. Due to this issue, the challan was frozen. However, we have now got the challan unfrozen.

Now, while applying for the refund through Form 26B on the TRACES portal, the system is showing the maximum refund amount as only 7473 against the total challan amount of 100000.00. We are unable to apply for the full refund.

I would like to understand the following:

Why is TRACES allowing a refund of only 7473 instead of 100000.00?

Is there any minimum refund amount or any other limit for claiming a TDS refund?

Could this problem be due to the original TDS return, revised TDS return, or challan details?

Since the challan has already been unfrozen, is any further correction or action required?

How can we claim the full refund of 100000.00 ?

Has anyone faced a similar issue and successfully received the full refund? If yes, please share the procedure.

I would be grateful for guidance from CAs and tax professionals who have handled similar cases.

Our objective is to claim the full refund of 100000.00 as the TDS was deducted and deposited by mistake.

Thank you for your help and valuable suggestions.

Is a Capital Gain Exemption Certificate obtained through a CBDT-registered valuer legally valid?

**Query: Taxation of Crypto Futures in India (FY 2026–27)**

I am an Indian resident planning to trade BTC/ETH perpetual futures on:

1. **Binance Global:** USDT-settled futures.
2. **Delta Exchange India:** INR-settled futures.

My main question is whether I can pay income tax on **net annual trading profit after adjusting eligible losses, trading fees and funding charges**, instead of paying 30% tax under the VDA regime.

Please clarify:

1. Are cash-settled crypto futures taxable as business/speculative income or under the 30% VDA tax regime?
2. Can winning and losing futures trades be netted for tax purposes?
3. Does receiving profits in USDT make the futures profit taxable under VDA rules? Is converting USDT into INR a separate taxable event?
4. Is Delta Exchange's INR settlement treated differently from Binance's USDT settlement?
5. What is the legally correct tax treatment, with relevant sections or circulars, for FY 2026–27?

I would appreciate a concise answer from a CA familiar with crypto derivatives. Thank you.
