if assessed income is more than 2 times the returned income , demand cannot be pressed till cit(a) decides.

is it correct?
my view --> yes, in view of CBDT instruction No. 96 dated 21/8/1969 and Instruction No. 1914 of 1993 dated 2/12/1993, where the income determined in substantially higher than the returned income, that is twice the latter amount or more, then the collection of Tax in dispute should be held in abeyance till the decision on appeal is taken

i feel Yes, in view of CBDT instruction No. 96 dated 21/8/1969 and Instruction No. 1914 of 1993 dated 2/12/1993, where the income determined in substantially higher than the returned income, that is twice the latter amount or more, then the collection of Tax in dispute should be held in abeyance till the decision on appeal is taken

stakes are high, hence asking opinion.

my q is --> what is his time limit within which authorities have to pass the rectification order?

my view -> 6 months or 4 years, i am confused.
4 years or 6 months?
see this 154 line --> No order of rectification can be passed after the expiry of 4 years from the end of the financial year in which order sought to be rectified was passed

n now see this line --> No order of rectification can be passed after the expiry of 4 years from the end of the financial year in which order sought to be rectified was passed

A trust has received four separate demand notices under section 220 for the interest on late payment of tax and also late filing fee u/s 234E. Is it possible to file one appeal for all the four demand notices or should we file four different appeals. But only one appeal is going in the portal for one assessment year. Can the experts guide in this issue please.

I've sold the ancestral property(agri land) during April 2023 and opened the capital gain account in June 2023 with nationalized bank for the sold amount .During December 2022 I've entered into sale agreement with one Builder(Gated community) to purchase residential flat, which complete the construction and handover the flat as per RERA and I am releasing the funds to builder from capital gain funds by submitting form C and form D to bank according to phase wise construction. I have claimed the income tax under 54F for the financial year 2023-24.Now in June 2025 I want go for flat registration. As I am going for flat registration after 2 years of property sale,is it eligible under 54F claim? and Sale agreement with builder does come under construction clause of 54F? My understanding is we can claim under 54F if we purchase the residential house within 2 years or construct the house within 3 years. Please guide.

Hi Respected Friends,

Could you guide if clubbing of allowances for reimbursement to employees is allowed ? We are capping allowances for Fuel and Internet together to maximum Rs. 2000 per month but want to give option to employees that they decide which allowance to opt for. One of the issue is payroll system does not have feature to cap overall allowances to above limit and hence one of the suggestion was to create "General Allowance" and define it as combination of fuel and internet allowance with capping of 2k per month.
Is this allowed ?

Hello Sir/ Madam,

Shall we show gift received from close relative (son given gift to parents) in to ITR2 (of parents) against exempt income (against other options) or not ?

There are different opinions from different CA. Some CA saying no need to show it .
Some CA saying income tax department may ask source of income to receiver person if amount is more than 10 L and donnes investment it in either FD or Captain gains.
Is there any guidline from incometax department for same ? Please help.

Dear Sir,
I had applied for the SME IPO of Parameshwar Metals in the HNI category, my application amount was 19,52,0000 as I applied for 16 lots (1 lot=2000 shares, price 61/share) but was not allocated any shares. Still it is being displayed in my Annual Information Statement and it is adding up to the buy column in the TIS (Tax Information Summary). If this thing goes on like this for other IPOs as well,then buy column total would become in several crores.

My question is, that even though I was not allocated any shares(had applied via ASBA), why is this being reported to the AIS and increasing compliance for us?
Is this legitimate or should we mark any feedback for this in AIS ? Gross amount received and Gross amount paid cancels out each other anyway. It was not the case in previous financial years.
