Construction of the Property was started in June-2007 and it is completed in February-2008. Whether the Pre-EMI (interest) paid can be claimed in the current year as deduction or it should be spread over for 5 years?

Explanation to the Sec 24 says:

Explanation.Where the property has been acquired or constructed with borrowed capital, the interest, if any, payable on such capital borrowed for the period prior to the previous year in which the property has been acquired or constructed, as reduced by any part thereof allowed as deduction under any other provision of this Act, shall be deducted under this clause in equal instalments for the said previous year and for each of the four immediately succeeding previous years:

In this case there is no interest paid prior to the previous year of completion of construction. The commencement and completion of the construction is within the same previous year

Reimbursement of medical expenditure upto Rs 15000/- per year is exempted. Please advise whether medical bills should also be pertain to same financial year or may be related to previous years also( old bills ).

Dear members,

Some of my TAMILNADU GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE clients (SALARY HOLDERS )have received Interest on Pay commission arrears in the assessment year 2008-2009.

The nature of the case is as follows

1) Government of tamilnadu declared Increment on salary to Government employees in the year 2000-01.
2) Since by that time there were no funds in the government treasury the arrear declared by the government was credited in to the G.P.F. account of the Employees. and the assessees claimed rebate u/s 88 for ascertaining their Taxable income.
3)FOR THE financial year ended 2001, and F.Y 2002 it was kept in G.P.F. Account.
4) For and from the F.Y. 2003 the arrear amount was excluded in the P.F. SLIP. and no interest was calculated from that year.
5) In the financial year 2007 TAMILNADU GOVERNMENT has released one portion 30% of that arrears from G.P.F. Account. (I have not considered this as a salary as it was refunded from G.P.F. account).
6) In 2008 Government released another 30% from G.P.F. account and also paid Interest for the previous years 2001-2007.

my querry is
A) whether am I claim interest is non taxable for the assessment year 2008-2009.
B) Whether the Principle is non taxable as it was invested in G.P.F. Account for the financial year 2000-2001. (NOW RECEIVED)

MEMBERS MAY CLARIFY to ascertain the proposed taxablity of my clients in this regard.
Regards,

Hello EXPERTS,
ABC Pvt Ltd place a order for supply of Hydropnuematic System. One of the terms of P.O. is that Installation, Testing & Commission of system will be carried out without any extra cost.

Now my query is that wether we treat it as composite order including installation i.e TDS will be done
OR
TDS will not be done as installation is free of cost along with supply of Hydropnuematic System.

If any legal expenses for a case which was related to director's case but the company has deducted TDS on same and filed its TDS returns now while conducting audit we found that it was dorector's case with state bank...
now the account department is telling that we will transfer it to directors loan A/c.
As the returns are filled and TDS has been deducted by company can we transfer it to his loan A/c.
Director is person who is not liable to deduct TDS...
the legal firm is also appearing before court for another case which is of the company.

a urban cooperative bank has invested funds as fixed deposit in other cooperative bank with a condition that after the maturity the interest will be added to the principal & reinvested .
what will be the treatment of accrual interest for the financial year 2006-07?
can this interest be claimed as deduction from the profit of the urban coperative bank as income derived by the coperative society from its investment in any other coperative society?
