03 November 2011 Dear Expertji,
My Assessee is a teacher in a college, she gets salary from college. She is also author of a book for which she receive royalty. She has filed her Return of Income for AY 2011-12 in ITR-2. While processing the Return of Income at CPC Bangalore, her claim for deduction under 80QQB rejected. Please guide how to claim said deduction.

04 November 2011 Firstly, deduction u/s 80QQb is not available in respect of each and every book. It is available in respect of a book which is a work of literary, artistic or scientific nature.

Secondly, to claim deduction u/s 80QQB, certificate in Form No. 10CCD has to be filed. This certificate has to be obtained from the person responsible for making the payment.

The certificate in Form No. 10CCD duly verified by the person responsible for making the payment to the assessee is required to be furnished along with the return of income

04 November 2011 Assessee complies all the conditions, but Return of Income was filed by online mode, so no attachments are required. Now how to rectify said Return.
