Tax planning 622 views 1 replies
 have one query regarding Section 269SS of Income Tax Act, 1961.
One of the provision of 269SS states that 
"Provided further that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any loan or deposit where the person from whom the loan or deposit is taken or accepted and the person by whom the loan or deposit is taken or accepted are both having agricultural income and neither of them has any income chargeable to tax under this Act"
I need to know the meaning of the highlighted portion.
Does it mean assessee should not have income under any other head e.g income u/h PGBP and House Property? Or It means assessee income should not cross the taxable limit to Rs. 2,00,000/- ? Or Something else ?

It means that both parties should have only agricultural income or exempt income.

It can also be proved by understanding that agricultural income or exempt income is anyways not chargeable to Income Tax.

Thus two parties who have only Agricultural Income can do transactions which are not in line with Section 269SS/T.
