Hi there,
Please allow me bring your attention that my pan no is ATFPK3635D and I took someone’s help to create my account and he also processed my tax filing. Now he is not reachable and I cannot access my account because on resetting password it is sending password to his id and I cannot use other option because I don’t know secret question. I don’t have any idea why it is sending my password to his mail while I got acknowledgement mails from CPC on my mail it means they have my id in their records.
Please help me out right now I am just feeling very helpless because I cannot create another account because my pan no is already in their records. my email id is [email protected]
Thanks

11-9-2012 10.00am.
My wife is a Singapore citizen and resides in Singapore since last fifty years, visiting India once a year, at most for 15days. Years passby without going to India.
She has inherited ancesteral property in India, and sold all the properties realising losses(due to indexing calculations as the properties were inherited in 1971) in most of them except one, which leads to the question tht I am asking answers to.
1.She has been assessed in Singapore from the time she became Singapore Citizen in 1980/81. She has been a housewife and had no income and as advised by the government, people with no income need not file returns, and she stopped filing from the time of the announcement.
2. When she sold the properties in India 2009,2010,2011 she filed returns in India(has Indian residence address but as above stated doesnt visit India and when she does is not more than a fortnight in any one year) and none in Singapore as propeprty sales resulted in Lossess (no income)
3. The last property sold in 2012 (Sale Deed registered in August 2012) resulted in substantial profit.
4. Being a Singapore citizen, no tax is payable on Long Term Capital Gains in Singapore. When approach was made to Singapore Tax authorities , was advised as there is no Capital Gains tax in Singapore, she need not file any return.
5. The properties being in India, attract Indian Tax on Long term Capital Gains 20% Tax. Sale proceeds have been remitted from India to Singapore through Banks and applications as required by the Reserve Bank India were submitted to the remitting bank who than remitted the proceeds. (Form and application for remittance under U/S 195 of the Income tax act –Annexure A, B Certificate, Form A2, Purpose of remittance form etc as required were submitted.
6.Now the returns have to be filed in July/August 2013, and the question of advance tax/deduction arises.
7.MY QUESTION IS, Is she liable for Indian Tax as a Singaproe citizen not residing in India for more than 15days in any given year. Singapore authorities say that as there is no Capital Gains Tax in Singapore, there can be no claim or set off or even the necessity of filing return in Singapore.
Please give clarity and advise.

I have submitted my Income Tax Return and form 16 to Income Tax Office Tambaram. Acknowledgement Receipt Number: 114523, Date: 04-08-2010
They have sent the refund to my old address, and the same is returned to the tambaram office on 09-01-2012. For this i have attached online statement.
And then i have submitted a request letter with my current address proof to tambaram office on 27-03-2012. I waited for some time with no response from the income tax office.
After that i have sent a complaint to IT Ombudsman on 21-05-2012, For this i got a reply from Ombudsman on 28-05-2012 stating that i have to make a complaint to Joint Commissioner of Income Tax, Tambaram.
After that i have submitted a written complaint to Joint Commissioner of Income Tax, Salary Range, Ward I-(1) on 13th of June 2012.
Waited for a month with no response or reply or TDS refund, So Again i wrote a complaint to IT Ombudsman requesting for TDS refund.
Answers i would like to know from you now
1. Will the Ombudsman take my case this time, is there any chance to reject my complaint now, since i have approached him for the same reason before.
2. If he rejects what should i do next?
3. In my last letter to Ombudsman i didn’t mentioned that i need refund amount with interest. Will they send the refund with interest? If yes, then at what rate of Interest?
4. I have mentioned that refund it directly to my account, and also provided my account details, can they send it directly to my account or not?
Thanks in advance, i would like to know answers, please reply.

Title :
Is it possible to receive a huge amount from my foreign friend in my SBI bank a/c for real estate investment?
Main Query:
I am establishing partnership firm in India, it’s between me and my foreign friend who is Canadian citizen, we will deal in real estate in buying, selling, developing townships etc.
In partnership firm, the taxes are 30% as we all know, remaining will be distributed among both of us.
On the other hand, Because of trust factor and finding some investors for my foreign partner for their business we have reached to this level where my partner is even ready to transfer the amount in my personal bank account so no 30% taxes will be given in case if we buy property through my name using the money which w’d come in my personal account rather buying through firm name. We also know that foreigners can’t buy Property in India on their names so my partner is even ready if I buy property on my name.
So is it possible that i receive huge amount in my own SBI bank account so major properties can be buy using my name and rest in partnership firm name, at time of giving back the profit to my partner, i use my own bank account to transfer the funds to my partner so 30% taxes will be given only on those properties what w’d have been bought using firm name,
what documents can i show to the income tax department at time of receiving the huge amount from my partner and sending the profit money to my partner at the time of selling the properties?
Can i show my partnership deed not only just for the prove of firm existence BUT also at the time of doing transaction from personal account, to prove we are genuine and doing these transactions for business purposes.
Partnership deed has got all partnership clauses, also included my name, my partner name, Addresses and signature of both.
Also, my real brother is NRI who is in Qatar (I am not NRI) who also has SBI NRI account, w’d it be ok to use his NRI account for receiving and sending money for my business transactions AND showing the same partnership deed which is on the stamp paper in case if i or my brother w’d be questioned, but problem is, NRI account belongs to my brother and partnership deed is between me and my foreign friend, Please suggest what to do?
Looking forward to see reply, Thank you.
