Assessee is a salaried person in employment at a Private Software co since Sep'2023. He was terminated in January'2026 and given a severance pay of 10 Lacs for the same in the name of Ex Gratia & Statutory Payment.Due to the extra payment of 10 lacs the assesee total income has exceeded 50 lacs leading to additional tax and surchage liability.

Recently we return goods worth Rs. 11 Lacs. to our supplier. So, instead of giving us credit note they asked to prepare sale bill. Is it a good practice because if we generate sale bill it will added to our turnover. which gives incorrect turnover information. So, please suggest any best solution for this.

With indexation there is a tax Savings of Rs.362500. I want to know what is the Total income to be taken whether Rs.4387040 or Rs. 1487040 (LTCL not to be set off against other income in our case). The assessee follows new tax regime and adopts indexed cost of acquisition for calculation long term capital gain.

Sir,

A client has started a nursery business on 6 acres of leased agricultural land. He purchases live plants ranging from 2 feet to 8 feet height from other nurseries. These plants are then maintained in the nursery for more than 6 months. During this period, labourers carry out watering, manuring/fertilizer application, pruning, cutting and other growth-related activities. The plants undergo substantial biological growth before being sold.

In these facts, whether the income from sale of such grown plants can be treated as Agricultural Income under Section 2(1A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, or should it be assessed as Business Income?
