Q1-10 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate’ them while answering some of the questions.
In a move that stands to benefit about 85 lakh salaried taxpayers, the Central Government launched a scheme under which assessees having annual income up to Rs.5 lakh through salary and bank interest will not be required to file income-tax returns for assessment year 2011-12.
The scheme is aimed at avoiding duplication of available information in such cases where there are no other sources of income, an official statement said: “The CBDT has notified the scheme exempting salaried taxpayers with total income up to Rs.5 lakh from filing income-tax return for assessment year 2011-12, which will be due on July 31, 2011”.
According to Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Prakash Chandra, the scheme would cover those salaried taxpayers whose interest income per annum is up to Rs.10,000.
“Individuals having total income up to Rs.5 lakh for 2010-11, after allowable deductions, consisting of salary from a single employer and interest income from deposits in a saving bank account up to Rs.10,000 are not required to file their income tax return,” he said.
Such individuals will have to report their Permanent Account Number (PAN) and the entire income from bank interest to their employer, pay the entire tax by way of deduction of tax at source, and obtain a certificate of tax deduction in Form No.16. In effect, the Form 16 issued to salaried employees will be treated as I-T return under the scheme.
As for pensioners engaged in gainful employment, they will also be covered under the scheme, provided their interest income, taxable pension and salary is up to Rs.5 lakh per annum, Mr. Chandra said.
The scheme, however, will not be applicable to individuals who have received salary from more than one employer in a financial year as may happen when an employee assessee switched jobs.
The scheme will also not cover those tax payers who have income from sources other than salary and interest income from a savings bank account, or have claims of I-T refund.
Moreover, “the scheme shall also not be applicable in cases wherein notices are issued for filing the income-tax return under Sec. 142(1) or Sec. 148 or Sec. 153A or Sec. 153C of the Income-tax Act 1961,” the statement said. Notices under these provisions are issued when there is estimate by valuation officer (Sec. 142(1)), income has escaped assessment (Sec. 148), search is carried out (Sec. 153A) and assessment of income of other person (Sec. 153C).
