    If a person from Indian origin is having foreign passport require to give those foreign passport details or not? (He does not have Indian passport)

    And is there any separate ITR Form for those persons? (Previously ITR-2 is filed)

  6. d k chakraborty says:

    Suppose someone havin corp salry a/c where unused money automatically goes to fd a/c and these FDs broken on ATM card swipe on a last-in-first-out basis. Fd s are opened and closed in a no of times in a FY. To include all these a/c s is tidious job.

  7. d k chakraborty says:

    The detls of jt a/c, fd a/c etc seems to be unresonable. One may remember around 2005/06 a new itr came which claimed the balance sheet of common man in the form of expenditure.But it never happened.
    Hope this move also will be pacified ecause this may ultimately lead to vote box.

  8. C B Sharma says:

    Due to efforts of CAs & taxguru Govt going to amend forms.Comlycacy ultimately leads to CORRUPTION/SHOSHAN of honest taxpayer particularly in lower strat,they feel terrorised due draconian provisions as probsbility of unintentional ommissions/errr can’t be denied

  9. dipak vijayvargiy says:

  10. c b sharma says:

    Salary class ko retire ke bad bhi terrorise rakho
    Majority not having hitech knowledge.they fall pray to others and again feel DOUBLE LOOTED/PUNISHED DUE to making more details mendatory.E.filing cut off be for above Rs 10 lac.

  11. Vinay Joshi says:

    Mr. Sandeep & Mr. Pratik,

    ON WHICH BASIS AN UNAUTHORIZED, ILLEGAL “AADHAR” ‘no’, to be INCORPORATED!?

    Under which provisions is it mandatory to have Aadhar card & no.

    Under which provisions CAN ANY CENTRAL REVENUE DEPT. ASK FOR AADHAR No?!
    IN FACT RBI SHOULD ISSUE NTFN FOR BANKS ALSO.DO NOT ASK FOR & IT CAN’T BE REAL!
    [can anyone of you tell me how many illegal immigrants have the said cards? If they possess HOW?]

    Can you explain?! If at all! What if not there & not wanting to? WHAT’s THE COMPULSION? WHICH ITax ACT SECTIONS AS AMENDED DOES STIPULATE AS PER NTFN?! INCORPORATING AN ILLEGAL MANDATE? [Act precedes rules as a corollary.]

    Today an Indian can invest upto US$250k abroad, RBI, where is the FinMin & official gazette ntfn & stating the sectors?! THE NORMS!
    Yes as of now under exceptional circumstances AD can clear from RBI.

    Will subsidy / compensation recd be classified as income?

    CA Sandeep & CA Pratik, await your answers IF ANY, on the issue.

    Regards,

    I THINK govt has decided to every year put sm changes ….all ca,consultant are free,n they think they have no work…all people are doing income tax,vat service tax,excise & audit….at last ca & consultant has to suffer…for exampe- income tax pin system…customer dont know what is email id & sm people dont how to forward sms …so at last what work have to b done by ca & consultant…..govt treating us like a his servant to us

  13. Puttaraju S says:

    I went through the notification, but there is nothing mentioned w.r.t Aadhar numbers and mentioning of all the bank a/cs.

    Kindly point out the exact official link.

  14. Abhishek Kumar Gupta says:

    Mentioning all Bank Accounts including Joint Accounts will lead to complexity. Because some the accounts may be associated with 1 tax assess and some will be the other one who is other joint account holder. If both will disclose all bank accounts, it will lead to confusion and complexity.

  15. vikas says:

    kala dhan aa gaya…aur salary class waalon ke account(jo income tax dete hain) mein 15-15 laakh bhi aa gaya…..achche din aa gaye….le lo babaji ka thullu…

  16. ravikumar says:

    Giving AAdhar No will track the LPG subsidy as income, other trades as income, purchase of jewels and valuables shall be tracked.

  17. Kishan Singh says:

    Even the last single paisa will be squeezed from the salaried class. Better not to save any money in bank accounts. Spend the whole income in whatever way possible.
