Individual Filing to get a Loan

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A client seeking a Rs. 20 lakh personal loan was told their income needs to be Rs. 10 lakhs, but their actual income as a private company director is only Rs. 4 lakhs. The challenge is how to legally present a higher income for the loan while managing tax implications. The advice suggests drawing a higher salary from the company and utilising IT Act deductions to lower the tax burden, rather than misrepresenting income.

13 August 2021 Tax to be paid on the actual income earned. It would be inappropriate (or not possible) to disclose higher income for the sake of loan and not pay income tax on the same.
As I understand, it would be better to get 10 lacs from the company as salary and disclose the same as it is and avail allowable deductions/exemptions under IT Act to reduce tax liability.
