assessee is practising ca having receipts of 3 crores for fy25-26.
he is of view , as i am following cash system , no need to follow icds and hence, no need to follow merchantile system.
my question -- in 3cd, is cash system allowed?
assessee's view --> so even in 3cd, no need to follow merchantile system, as he is following cash system .

my view-->cash system is not allowed in 3cd As CBDT has clarified Circular No. 10/2017, dated 23-3-2017, that the general provisions of ICDS shall apply to all persons , so , merchantile is compulsory for 3cd right. am i right? or is cash system in 3cd allowed?

An MF Distributor earns income by way of brokerage. Can he choose to compute his income as per presumptive income scheme? If not, then under which section is a business earning from brokerage or commission not made eligible to declare income under presumptive income scheme? As per section 58 of 2025ACT and Table given there under column B , it states, "Any business other than the business specified against serial number 2". It states ANY BUSINESS" which will cover all business other than specified in serial 2. So business earning brokerage or commission gets covered.
Please advise if there is any other overriding clause excluding business earning income by way of brokerage from presumptive income scheme.
Thank you

FOR 51 LAKHS SALES TURNOVER FOR ETF TRADING, AS MENTIONED IN SUBJECT, TAKEN UNDER SEC44AD AT 6% PROFIT (TO SKIP BOOK KEEPING AND AUDIT ETC.) TRADING PROFIT AT 6% IS AROUND 3.06 LAKHS. SO INCLUDING THIS TOTAL INCOME STANDS AT RS.7 TO 8 LAKHS. AM I GOOD FOR ZERO TAX AS INCOME IS BELOW 12 LAKHS?
IN AIS STATEMENT RS.18+ LAKHS IS GIVEN AS SALES (IN PLACE OF 51L). CAN I USE THIS FIGURE FROM AIS? IS SEC 87 A REBATE APPLICABLE TO ME?

I have observed two contradictory opinions on eligibility to file Form 121 under new IT Act 2025.
1]Mr Ashok Kumar has written to a query that form 121 cannot be filed if the incomtax libility is NIL
2]Today Mr.Dhirajlal Rambhia has informed that to file form 121, tax liability should be zero.

Please clear the confusion if my observation is wrong

Hello,

I have 2 kids, both minors right now. Me and my wife are both working in private sector. Suppose I am the higher earner.
1. Will the income of both kids be clubbed with me?
2. Can it be possible if income of 1 kid is clubbed with me and the other with my wife, if we are guardians of the respective kid individually?

Thanks

Dear Sir,

I seek your guidance regarding the following matter:

Mr. X, the buyer, purchased a residential unit along with land from four sellers — A, B, C, and D — for ₹1.80 crores on 23/09/2025. However, Mr. X did not deduct and deposit TDS at the time of the agreement.

He was required to deduct equal TDS in the names of all four sellers. Instead, in February 2026, he reported and deducted the entire sale proceeds and corresponding TDS in the name of Seller A only, which is incorrect. At the registrar's office, the property appears in the names of all the sellers. This will create a mismatch if the return is filed in Mr. A's name only.

Despite repeated follow-ups requesting Mr. X to rectify the TDS return and deposit the TDS proportionately in the names of all sellers, he has shown no interest in doing so.

Kindly advise:

What remedies are available to all sellers in this regard?

What steps should be taken if the buyer remains reluctant to rectify the TDS return?

Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Suraj
