    As we have already studied, tax rates increase from 10% to 20% and then to 30%, people may try to avoid tax by transferring their income to relatives specially wife and children.

    In order to avoid such practices of tax avoidance, provisions of clubbing of income is prescribed in Section 60-65 of Income tax act.

    The main theme behind the provisions is that if assessee transfers his income in favour of wife or children etc. by gifting the properties etc then income from such properties shall be taxed in the hands of assessee and not in the hands of wife / children etc.

    Transferred income is taxable in the hands of transferor and not transferee (like wife or children)

    Q 24 : Explain in brief the concept of Set off and Carry forward of losses.

    Ans: Income of assessee is taxable in five heads of income i.e. salary, house property, PGBP, capital gains and income from other sources.

    It is not necessary that every year, in every head of income there shall be a profit only. In some sources of income, like business head or capital gain etc, losses may also be there. Losses may also be possible in House property income or income from other sources.

    Section 70-80 of income tax act deals with such provisions.

    Normally the concept is that as a first step, a loss from a particular head of income is adjusted against income under the same head and, then difference loss, if any, is adjusted against the income in other head of income.

    If still, any unadjusted loss is left, then it is adjusted in the next year or years against the same head of income.

    Usually a limit of 4 or 8 years is applicable for carry forward of losses.

    Loss is adjusted in same year from same head other head Loss is adjusted in next years from same head

    Ans: Return of income is a systematic intimation to Income tax department about the income earned by assessee during the previous year. Return is furnished in prescribed format by due date of filing of return of income. Due date basically means the last date of filing of return of income. An individual assessee should file his return of income on or before 31st July of Assessment year. The due date for corporate assessee is 30th September of Assessment Year.

    INDIVIDUAL RETURN BY JULY 31. CORPORATE BY SEP 30

    Q 26 : What is PAN number ?

    Ans: It is a ten digit unique identification number. It is alpha numeric number. The Govt. has made it compulsory to quote pan number in lot of day to day financial transactions like sale/purchase of property valued at Rs 5 lacs or more or Fixed Deposit with a bank exceeding Rs 50,000 etc.

    PAN number is an alpha numeric ten digit unique identification number.

    Q 27 : What is the difference between Self Assessment, Scrutiny Assessment and Best Judgement Assessment ?

    Ans: Assessment done by assessee himself is known as Self assessment [Section 140A].

    In some selected cases, income tax officer may issue notice to assessee and ask for documents to ensure there is no understatement of income. Such assessment procedure is known as Scrutiny Assessment Procedure. [Section 143(3)]

    If return is not filed or inspite of notice, information is not submitted then income tax officer assess the income based on informations available or collected by him. This assessment is known as Best Judgement Assessment. [Section 144]

    RETURN AFTER NOTICE TO ASSESSEE & THOROUGH CHECKING IS KNOWN AS SCRUTINY ASSESSMENT.

    Q 28 : Explain the concept of Advance Tax ?

    Ans: As per Sections 207 to 211, if tax payable by assessee exceeds Rs 10,000, then advance tax is payable by assessee during the PREVIOUS YEAR itself.

    Q 29: What is the concept of Tax deduction at source ?

    Ans: In this concept while making payment, in some specified cases, mainly based on provisions given in section 190 to 199, tax is deducted at source by the payer and the amount is deposited by the payer to Govt and a certificate in this regard is issued to the payee.

    Based on this certificate, the assessee claims deduction from his tax liability at the time of self assessment.

    Q 30 : What if the return is not filed or delayed or not correctly filed ?

    Ans: For later filing of return or late payment of taxes, interest is payable by Assessee and for effort of tax evasion, penalties may be imposed.
