Hello everyone,

I am looking for some genuine guidance regarding my career.

I completed my **12th in 2024**, and along with my 12th, I also completed a **CABA-MDTP (Computer Applications, Business Accounting and Multilingual D.T.P.)** course.

Since completing 12th, I have been confused about which field I should choose for my career. Because of this confusion, almost **two years have passed without me being able to decide on a clear career direction**.

During this time, I tried exploring different fields:

1. **Cyber Security** – I initially thought of building my career in Cyber Security and started studying it, but I could not understand what I should learn, how I should learn it, or what the proper roadmap was. Eventually, I stopped studying it.

2. **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** – After that, I thought about pursuing AI. I started exploring this field as well, but again I could not understand the field properly or find a clear direction, so I eventually stopped that too.

3. **Finance** – Currently, I am considering building my career in Finance. However, I am still confused about whether Finance is actually the right choice for me and, if I choose Finance, **which specific domain of Finance I should pursue**.

So, my main confusion is:

**Which direction should I choose — Cyber Security, AI, or Finance? And if Finance is a better option for me, which area/domain of Finance should I consider?**

I also want to understand how I should actually evaluate a career before committing to it. I don't want to keep switching from one field to another and waste more time.

I would really appreciate guidance from experienced **CAs, finance professionals, industry professionals, or anyone who has faced a similar career situation**.

I would especially like to know:

* Based on my background, how should I evaluate Cyber Security, AI and Finance as career options?
* If I choose Finance, what different domains should I explore before making a final decision?
* How can I practically test whether a particular field is suitable for me?
* Should I first do a short course, internship, project, or basic-level study before committing to a career?
* Most importantly, **what should I do step-by-step over the next 6–12 months to get clarity and build a proper career direction?**

I understand that the final decision has to be mine, but I would really appreciate **honest and practical advice** from experienced people rather than just general suggestions.

My goal now is to choose a direction carefully, stop switching between fields, and then consistently work towards building a career in that field.

Thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to guide me.

I seek independent professional opinion on the following matter/case
An alleged outstanding demand pertains to AY 2012-13. The assessee's position is that the demand was not payable, as the relevent taxes had already been paid. The assessee had submitted a response against the demand, duly supported by relevant documents/attachments.
Now, the Income Tax Department has adjusted the refund due for AY 2026-27 against the alleged old demand.
The Income Tax portal presently shows that a response against the outstanding demand was submitted, but the actual response, supporting attachments and AO's consequential order/reasons are not presently available/visible on the portal. The old physical records are also not readily traceable.
Proposed simultaneous action
I am considering taking the following three actions at approximately the same time:

1. RTI Application - seeking certified copiesof the response submitted by the assessee alongwith supporting attachments/documents and the AO's order/communication with reasons/grounds for rejection.
2. Income Tax Grievance - objections to the adjustment of the AY 2026-27 refund against the disputed old demand and requesting release of the refund.
3. Faceless Appeal - filing the appropriate statutory appeal, if mandatory/necessary, without waiting for the RTI outcome, in order to protect the assessee's appellate rights.

Opinion specifically requested

1. Is the above three-pronged approach legally and procedurally appropriate?
2. Should the Faceless Appeal be filed immediately, even though the old response and AO's detailed order/reasons are presently unavailable?
3. What is the correct appellate provision/order against which the appeal should be filed, and what limitation/condonation issues need to be considered?
4. If appeal is mandatory/necessary, please suggest the appropriate Grounds of Appeal, particularly regarding:
disputed/non-payable old demand duly supported with judiciary judgements, if any,
taxes already discharged
response previously submitted with supporting documents,
non availability of the old response/supporting documents and AO's reasons on the present portal
adjustment of AY 2026-27 refund against the alleged AY 2012-13 demand
requirement to verify the complete departmental record before recovery/adjustment

5. Should the RTI, grievance and appeal be pursued simultaneously, rather than waiting for one remedy to conclude?

6. What would be the safest and most effective legal strategy in the interest of the assessee?

Please give independent practical and legal opinion, particularly on the grounds of appeal and limitation/condonation aspect.

Greetings
Can I get clarification as to whether the Banks need to report interest details in Form 168 even if no TDS is deducted?
The present Form 168 has a separate table for reporting interest details when the customer submits Form 121. Moreover, the Banks earlier were reporting interest paid during the year in Q4 reporting, even when no TDS was deducted.
Thank you
Chari

Dear Sir/Madam,

I seek your expert advice regarding a tax demand of ₹4,650 raised by the Income Tax Department under Section 143(1) for AY 2026-27.

The relevant facts are as follows:

1.I was employed in the UAE from 3 March 2025 to 7 March 2026.
2.I was physically outside India throughout FY 2025-26. My passport records support this.
3.The entire salary income of ₹4,88,832 reported in my ITR relates to my UAE employment.
4.0I was treated as Non-Resident in the ITR, and the same residential status appears in the Section 143(1) intimation.
5.The CPC has included the entire ₹4,88,832 as taxable salary and calculated total tax liability of ₹4,657, against which only ₹4 TDS credit has been allowed, resulting in a demand of ₹4,650.
6.No interest or late-filing fee has been charged.
7.The salary was credited to my Indian bank account.

I would particularly like your advice on the following:

Whether the UAE salary of ₹4,88,832 is taxable in India, considering my Non-Resident status and the fact that the employment was performed entirely in the UAE.
Whether the fact that the salary was credited directly to an Indian bank account changes its taxability.
Whether the India-UAE DTAA, particularly the provisions relating to employment income, provides any relief.
Whether the amount should have been reported differently in ITR-2, such as under Schedule EI/FSI/TR or another appropriate schedule, if applicable.
Whether there is a valid and strong case for filing a Section 154 rectification request against the 143(1) intimation.
If rectification is appropriate, what exact correction should be made, and what documents/evidence should be submitted?
Should the ₹4,650 demand be paid while rectification is pending?
I would appreciate your professional opinion on the correct tax treatment and the appropriate course of action.

Kind regards,
Yousuf

I had purchased an under construction property jointly with my wife in 2021 and which will be fully financed by me. I have paid the TDS on the booking amount paid to the builder in 2021 and subsequent instalment in 2022. Both tds were filed with my pan. Now in Form 141 for third instalment I see option to put share for each buyer and last tds receipt details. How should I fill it for my wife, since earlier two TDS were completely paid by me. Please guide.

Also should it be paid 50-50 in this case or can I put myself as 100% share in form 141 and submit
