Income tax department has started sending notices (Compliance Query) to non-filers for the assessment year 2013-14 & onwards & are also using the said information to verify under-reporting of income. The income tax department has been capturing information on financial transactions /activities relating to you through Non-filers Monitoring System (NMS). This year NMS has identified 44.07 lakh non-filers (Cycle 3 -2015) with potential tax liabilities for AY 2013-14.
Do you want to keep an Arm’s Length Distance from the Income Tax Department? Obviously the Answer is YES!!! But the question here is HOW??? Here are a list of expenses/ investments, which at any point of time performed by you may invite undue attention from the Income tax Personnel.
Avoid penalty u/s. 271FA for non-filing of Annual Information Return (AIR). Learn about the due date and consequences of non-compliance.
Annual Information Return (AIR) of ‘high value financial transactions’ is required to be furnished under section 285BA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 by ‘specified persons’ in respect of ‘specified transactions’ registered or recorded by them during the financial year. The due date of filing of the return is the 31st of August of the following […]
Government has mandated reporting in statement of financial transaction commonly known as AIR Return of Cash deposits during the period 09th November, 2016 to 30th December, 2016 aggregates to ̶ (i) twelve lakh fifty thousand rupees or more, in one or more current account of a person; or (ii) two lakh fifty thousand rupees or more, in one or more accounts (other than a current account)
A provision of Section 285BA has been inserted by the Finance Act, 2003 w.e.f. 01.04.2004, which was later on substituted by the Finance (No.2) Act, 2004 w.e.f. 01.04.2005.
Since AO had not carried out any exercise to rebut the contention of assessee that they have not received any sum higher than what has been reported in its books of account, therefore, no addition could be made based on the AIR and ledger of the payer
n the era of technology and data analytics, Income Tax Department too empowered itself with one of the most enabling report which allowed itself to peep itself into the assessee’s deeper secrets by laying down the responsibility on Financial Institution like Banks, Mutual Funds, to submit AIR (Annual Information Report). In this article, what we will try to analyse in the forthcoming discussion that how this crucial guard of information available with the department against evasion slowly becoming an indiscriminate weapon in the hands of the officials for harassing the assesses and how the proceedings emanating from AIR should be dealt with.
Penalty under 271FA was unjustified as there was no requirement to file the AIR in absence of reportable transaction during the financial year and also, department did not make out a case that the assessee had the recorded re portable transactions in the relevant financial year.
