Recessions have affected mostly the real estate business. Slowing demand and sudden evaporation of liquidity position made the situation become so tough for the real estate sector that companies who were engaged in massive long term projects have to abandon the projects. In many cases they have to forgo SEZ projects too due to financial crisis.
FM has put more money in the hands of a large section of tax-payers. There are also some additional tax breaks in the form of investments made into infrastructure bonds and health insurance. Our Personal Finance team speaks to experts on the best way to manage the additional income depending on your age group. If you earn between Rs 1,60,000 and Rs 5,00,000
The Government has decided that telecom companies offering 3G services will not be allowed to claim tax breaks under Section 80 IA of the Income Tax Act. Benefits under Section 80 IA are extended to companies involved in infrastructure creation. In the telecom sector, existing operators are allowed to choose a block of 10 years (out of the first 15 years of operations) for availing themselves of the tax benefits.
Real Estate sector which is slowly coming out of the Mid 2008 slump, has received good support from Union Budget 2010-11. While the budget has encouraged affordable housing below Rs 20 lakhs with 1% interest subvention for housing loan upto 10 lakhs and extension of benefits available under section 80IB by one more year, extension of some services are extended so as to bring under service tax impacting the industry in difficult times.
It is, therefore, proposed to also allow deduction in respect of any contribution made to CGHS by including such contribution under the provisions of section 80D. The deduction will be limited to the current aggregate as mentioned in the section.
In tune with the policy thrust of promoting investment in the infrastructure sector, it is proposed to insert a new section 80CCF in the Income-tax Act to provide that subscription during the financial year 2010-11 made to long-term infrastructure bonds (as may be notified by the Central Government), to the extent of Rs. 20,000, shall be allowed as deduction in computing the income of an individual or a Hindu undivided family.
We would recommend a separate limit for deductions under Section 80C for long-term saving instruments such as life insurance. Currently, the deduction under Section 80C also includes short-term saving instruments such as mutual funds and fixed deposits. Life insurance and pensions are the only segments of financial services that address the needs of individuals in the long term.
It is a fact that tax incentives offered under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the IT Act) have been instrumental in encouraging individuals to invest and save for their long-term retirement needs. One of the key incentives in this respect has been that many of the savings instruments have been under the Exempt Exempt Exempt (EEE) model.
Sushanto Roy, CEO, Sahara Prime City, has in a pre-Budget wish list of expectations said: “Given the pent-up demand for affordable housing which was discovered during the recent slowdown there is a need to reintroduce tax holiday under section 80IB for housing projects constructed after March 31, 2008.” Tax holiday for hotels, under section 80ID should be extended to 10 years from existing time limit of 5 years, in view of the long gestation period for the industry, he said.
We have heard the arguments put forth by both the sides along with the case law relied upon. Having held above that the interest on income-tax refund does not fall under the head `Profits and gains of business or profession’, it remains to be examined as to whether deduction u/s.80P is restricted only to the income falling under this head
