Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides exemption from long-term capital gains tax provided an assessee invests within six months after the sale of his property in long-term specified assets. The Finance Act 2007 limited such exemption to Rs 50 lakh in any financial year. Some overzealous tax assessing officers seem to interpret this as a one-time exemption up to Rs 50 lakh only. Such an interpretation will prevent anyone taking advantage of a property sale, for example, in January 2008, facilitating an immediate Rs 50 lakh investment in January 2008 in specified assets, and another Rs 50 lakh investment before the expiry of six months after sale in specified assets.
Under the latest provisions, any sum of money received without consideration (in excess of Rs 50,000), by an individual or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), during a financial year, are taxable in the hands of the recipient. For the purpose of computation of the threshold limit of Rs 50,000, the aggregate value of gifts received from all sources by the recipient needs to be considered.
Under the provisions of Section 56(2)(vi) certain gifts are liable to income tax as income from other sources. However, this provision is applicable only for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). Thus, if gift is received by any Trust or A.O.P., then it is not liable to income tax as “income from other sources”. The provision of taxation of gifts became applicable in respect of gifts received on or after 1.9.2004 and before 1.4.2006 if the gift money exceeded Rs. 25,000. From 1.4.2006, this amount has been increased to Rs. 50,000 so that cash gifts and gifts by cheque or bank draft from non-relatives and from non-exempted categories can be fully exempt from income tax up to Rs. 50,000 in aggregate in one financial year.
It has been proposed under the IT Circular 3/2009 that if the return is electronically furnished under a digital signature, the tax-payer is not required to furnish the Form ITR-V with the Income-tax Department as a follow up to the electronic transmitting of data in the return. Similarly, any return which is digitally signed by the assessee and filed with an E-Return Intermediary (ERI), who, in turn, submits the return to the Income Tax Department under his digital signature, will also be deemed to have been filed under a digital signature of the assessee and no Form ITR-V is required to be submitted. In such cases, the date of electronic transmission of the data in the return shall be the date of furnishing the return.
