An assessee bought a rural agricultural land in 2011-12 as it is a rural agricultural land it does not classify as a capital asset, As on today's date i.e. 19/03/2025 rural agricultural land only. Suppose he converts the land to a residential land on 01/04/2025 (It will classify as a capital asset) and sell the whole set of Residential land in 2025-26 only.
Query: What would be the period of holding, would it classify as LTCG or STCG? (As the assessee is not in the business of Real Estate or developing or selling of land and not having any more of such projects we won't be taking this income in the head PGBP)

Advance of 100% for the sale note of a house property paid in 2006 but the project got stalled and completed in 2025 and cost escalations were paid and agreement registered. Will section 194(1A) be applicable to the advance paid in 2006 which got adjusted while paying the final agreement value

I WANT TO FILE ITRU FOR AY 22-23( RETURN WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY FILED) BUT DUE TO TDS ITS RESULTING IN REFUND.

CAN I SHOW LESS TDS AND PAY 1000 ................WILL IT BE CORRECT WAY TO FILE RETURN???

After reading a few questions on tds under 195, I got a few questions, if anyone can kindly help me understand.

1. If I purchase courses from coursera for personal use. The invoice mentions their foreign address. Do I need to deduct TDS under section 195. I have also purchased a few courses from udemy but the invoices mention Haryana office.
2. As a part of the same question, do I need to deduct tds for payment to Netflix and prime video. Both of the invoice have the India address of Netflix and prime.
3. I have also booked travel air tickets from Agoda and few sites which also have their foreign addresses in the invoice. Do I need to deduct TDS in this case?
4. Also, as an individual, what should I check to know if I need to deduct TDS?

As an individual with no audit or anything, is there any scrutiny for these things

I recently came across the concept of tds under sec 195. My employer had purchased website theme from envato and ssl certificate from godaddy. Both invoices have their(envato and go daddy) foreign address in the invoice.

I had made the payment from my UPI account but the invoice has my employer's name and also had the employer GST number. Is the TDS deductible by me or am I liable for any thing in the future?

A property was acquired jointly by an assessee in FY 2000-01 along with her husband with each having 50% share. (Rs. 10 lacs each)
The husband passed away in the year 2020-21 without any will. Consequently, the assessee and her two sons inherited 1/3rd share of 50% of the property (husband’s share in property).
In FY 2024-25, the two sons signed a Release Deed in favour of the assessee (their mother) and transferred their share of 16.66% each to the assessee.
A month after the release deed was registered, the assessee sold off the property for 80 lacs.
My questions are
1. Will the capital gain for the share (of around 34%) acquired by the assessee through release deed be held as STCG or LTCG?
2. What will be taken as cost of acquisition for the share (of around 34%) acquired through release deed?
3. If LTCG, the will indexation benefit be available for the share (of around 34%) acquired through release deed?
4. What would be the base year for the indexation benefit for the share (of around 34%) acquired through release deed ?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

A company organised a event in the office "Award distribution and celebration". A company as assigned the task of event management like hosting, photography, some items like trophy etc.

The company has raised invoice and mentioned to deduct Tax u/s. 194C @ 2% ?

will it fall under section 194C OR 194J ?

On February month, 2025, one of my client was inadvertently paid the ITAT appeal fees for the Assessment Year 2016-17 under wrong column. The payment of Rs.10,000 was made through electronically. Since, the ITAT was to be filed, I made a fresh payment of Rs. 10,000 correctly and the application has been filed with ITAT. So I decided to go for challan correction which was wrongly paid by our client and I requested the IT department in writing to change the relevant year from 'AY 2016-17' to 'AY 2025-26' as 'Advance Tax' from 'Appeal Fees' so that the paid amount can be utilized for the current tax period. However, till now the challan was still not rectified. Is there any proceeding to be forwarded or it may take a time duration? Kindly rectify my query, it will be grateful.
