Understanding of goodwill, I want to ask if partnership firm readjust share ratio.
Suppose firm average Net profit 12 lakh after partner's interest on capital ( 10 lakh).
So, question is that in goodwill calculation
Average Profit X year purchase ( 3 years)
ie 12 lakh x 3 year = 36 Lakh
Or
(Average profit + partners interest on capital) X year purchase
ie ( 12 lakh + 10 lakh) X 3 year = 66 lakh
Which method is correct.
Please solve the query.

Dear Community,

I am seeking advice and insights regarding a situation we have encountered with the auto-debit of an EPF payment. On 18th February 2025, we attempted to make the EPF contribution through our Yes Bank Corporate Banking portal, but unfortunately, the transaction failed due to an error. Despite this, we successfully made the payment via our HDFC Bank account to ensure timely compliance.

However, we were surprised to discover that an amount of Rs. 4,88,376 was auto-deducted from our Yes Bank Corporate Account (Account No: XXXXXXX) on the same date, despite the initial payment attempt failing. This deduction occurred without our approval, which goes against our company's internal approval process for payments.

We have also faced repeated technical issues with both the EPF Portal and Yes Bank's platform, which have resulted in failed payment attempts multiple times.

My questions to the community are:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue where an auto-debit was processed despite the initial transaction failure? How did you resolve it?
Is there a standard process that banks follow in such cases, and should we expect a refund in situations like this?
What steps can we take to prevent such issues in the future, both in terms of technical glitches and ensuring proper payment approvals?
Any advice on how to escalate this matter to ensure a swift resolution, given the urgency and compliance nature of EPF contributions?
We would appreciate your insights and suggestions to address this matter.

Thank you in advance for your help!

While filing TDS under 26 QB, I accidentally selected the wrong values for the fields -
1. Whether it is last installment? [I entered "Yes"]
2. Total amount paid/ credited in previous installments, if any (A) [I entered Rs.65,10,000]

I was actually paying my 1st installment and the next installment will the last installment. So, I need to correct the responses as follows -
1. Whether it is last installment? -- Need to correct to "No"
2. Total amount paid/ credited in previous installments, if any (A) -- Need to correct to '0'

Please advise how I can do this. I am aware that this will get assigned to an AO, and I may be asked to provide some documents. Could you please advice what these documents could be so that these corrections can be made?

I am worried that if I am not prepared, or there is some non-cooperation from the seller, I may have some trouble with the TDS authorities.

Thanks for your help, and looking forward to your response.

Hello,
I am planning to buy a property and wanted to pay TDS through the e-paytax in www.incometax.gov.in. When filling Form 26QB, the Seller PAN was requested. On entering the PAN of the seller, i get the message "Error : User ID does not exist, Please Retry ". I have checked for the correctness of the PAN. Due to this, the data of seller does not appear and i am not able to continue with the TDS payment.
Any information to resolve this issue will be very helpful.
Thank you.

Regards,
Sesh.

Sir,
A RTP maintained a pharmacy Stores turnover rs:1.50 crores yearly regular scheme in gst act.
Question:
Dealer purchase of medicines credit based payments msme provision sec 43(b) applicable.

I bought property in mumbai and paid 1% TDS of property value..on the same day I got default notice to payment Additional 19% as a penalty because seller PAN and Adhaar was not linked later we got it linked and filed correction in traces but still got the same default notice....now how to get this notice null & void since PAN and Adhaar both are linked now

I have a scenario like this.
I have stocks as RSU in US and they vested in 2010-2019.
these stocks I sold then partially in 2019 and I invested that amount in buying a house A.
I also had a house B in my name which I sold and re invested that amount in another plot to construct a house C.
I did a gift deed to my wife for house A in 2023.

In 2023 again I have bought a plot to construct a house. I have the above stocks left as RSU in US and I want to sell them and use that money to pay for the land and construct a house D.
So as per section 54 can i avoid capital gains tax on the amount after selling those shares as I am investing that in construction of a house D

I only have plot C in my name as I have gifted the house A to my wife and will own plot and house D now.

Kindly advise.

As per Rule, any value of gift received higher than Rs 50K become taxable under the section 56. (Lets assume not through relatives) if it is declared by the receiver does it get exempted to the person who gifts the same? if not allowed, will it not become double taxation in the hands of receiver, if his income falls in income tax slabs?
