No...

 

In case of wealth not exceeding minimum chargeble wealth, there is no need to file ROW.... If filed.. it will assume that no ROW is filed...

Fully agree with wat Arvind says.

Sec 14(1) of wealth taxact,1957

file wealth tax return if wealth exceeded Rs.30,00,000  (i.e, maximum amount not chargeable to wealth tax)

Sec 14(2) of wealth taxact,1957

notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision of the wealth tax act, a return of net wealth which shows the net wealth below the maximum amount which is not chargeable to tax shall be deemed never to have been furnished.

CONCLUSION: NO RETURN IS TO BE FILED WHEN WEALTH TAX PAYABLE IS NIL.

this provision is different from income tax act

Yes deepa agree with above statement. No need to file return if one doesnt have wealth exceed rs. 30 lakhs.

No...

This is provision in wealth tax act 1957 U/S 14(1) no exceed of Rs. 30,00,000/- no returne to be filled.

No need to fill.

No need to fill.
