Hi,
I have a question regarding taxpaying. I have lost my father last October 2009.He was a retired person and he filed his return (thought he had no tax to pay).

Now with his sudden demise,my mother has received a lumpsum amount of Rs 1.5 lac from LIC Varistha Bima Yojana & an amount of Rs 1.09 lac from Employees Provident Fund & now she receives a regular income of Rs 545 as monthly pension from EPF.Other than this she receives some minimal amt as dividend from shares which are in the name of - [a]my father only [b] my mother & my father both.

My Mother is a housewife.And now with my father's demise will she be required to pay tax?If her income is taxable for this year & then not taxable in the next year then does she still hve to file return next year also. Will the 2 lumpsum amt that she has received from LIC & EPF be taxable? Is there any manner by which I can save tax ( as she is financial not strong)?Please suggest some investment option for her keeping in mind that she has a studying son(for which they may need maney soon) & a married daughter(ie me). I have heard some investment option-

[a] MIS - but there the money will be for 6 yrs & penalty will b there if I withdraw before 6 yrs but MIS is exempt from tax?

[b] FD - but it is not tax exempt?

I need to know about investment that will not have a long duration & also be tax exempt.

I will be highly grateful if someone reverts me back with suggession as I am totally confused.

Thanking you
Anjana

Dear Members,

Please share your opinion with reference to practising professionals ( Doctors, Lawyers, CAs, Architects, etc. ). Whether there is any concession in the initial years of practice to such professionals ?

I have come across a DDQ of the Profession Tax Act, which says that two complete years of practice are to be excluded.

Dear sir
As we all know a vacent plot of land is taxable asset under wealth tax..
my quiry is that i have purchase one plot of land in 1995 and know i have to file wealth tax return......
for this i have to mention the value of the plot in the calculation of total wealth......
So which value i should show is it the purchase cost or the current market value certified by the valuation officer.......
if i need to get it certified by the valuation officer who will be the eligible valuation officer for the same....
kindly reply early its urgent......

What is the dollar exhange rate to be considered to make the TDS payment before actual remittance take place.

Some are of the view that it should be RBI RATE and other SBI RATE as of booking of liability.

For example month end date date for processing monthly salaries.

Kindly confirm what basis we should adopt to do TDS compliance.

Kindly clarify on the following:

A employee has deposited Rs. 100000 in Bank Term Deposit Scheme - Tax saver scheme (subject to CBDT Notifi. No. 203/2006 dt 28.07.2006)which is locked for 5 years on 20.09.2006. It gets matured on 20.09.2011.

For the asst. year 2010-11 while computing his tax can the above deposit be claimed as dedcution under sec. 80C
or
only tax saver deposits made in the current financial year 2009-2010 can only be claimed as deduction u/s S. 80C?

thanks & regards
