I filed the TDS return and later filed a revised return with the correct details. Due to this issue, the challan was frozen. However, we have now got the challan unfrozen.

Now, while applying for the refund through Form 26B on the TRACES portal, the system is showing the maximum refund amount as only 7473 against the total challan amount of 100000.00. We are unable to apply for the full refund.

I would like to understand the following:

Why is TRACES allowing a refund of only 7473 instead of 100000.00?

Is there any minimum refund amount or any other limit for claiming a TDS refund?

Could this problem be due to the original TDS return, revised TDS return, or challan details?

Since the challan has already been unfrozen, is any further correction or action required?

How can we claim the full refund of 100000.00 ?

Has anyone faced a similar issue and successfully received the full refund? If yes, please share the procedure.

I would be grateful for guidance from CAs and tax professionals who have handled similar cases.

Our objective is to claim the full refund of 100000.00 as the TDS was deducted and deposited by mistake.

Thank you for your help and valuable suggestions.

Dear Experts
Kindly guide me on the following practical issue:
1. Both concerns are sole proprietorships owned by different family members and have separate GST Registrations.
2. The proprietorship holding the physical stock filed its ITR for FY 2025-26 under section 44AD. In the balance sheet section of the ITR, all columns were reported as Nil, except Cash. The Trade Name of Business was not mentioned in the ITR. Further, the GST Turnover reflected in AIS/TIS was not separately reported in the ITR, although the turnover declared in the ITR exceeds the GST Turnover reflected in AIS/TIS.
3. During FY 2026-27, the proprietor intends to transfer the existing physical stock to the other family owned proprietorship concern.
Query:
Can the physical stock be transferred to the other proprietorship despite the above reporting position in the earlier ITR? If yes, what is the appropriate procedure under the applicable GST and Income Tax laws?
Kinly provide your expert opinion.
Thank you.

Dear Experts ,
While filing our TDS Q2 return through the new TRACES portal, we are receiving an error stating that mandatory responsible person details are missing.

We have already updated all the required Contact Details, Correspondence Address, and Authorized Person Details. However, the same error persists, and we are unable to proceed by clicking Submit.

Kindly resolve this technical issue at the earliest to enable us to file our TDS return.

Thanks & Regards

Hi All,
Today, I received a SCN from PTO , Mumbai on my registered email for non filing of ptrc returns and non payment of tax since fy 2023- 24.

But I have already paid correct tax and filed ptrc returns timely. It says if returns filed and taxes paid submit evidences.

So how do I reply to this scn ? Is there any online option on mahagst / pt web portal now ? Or do I reply back on email ? Or do I have to personally visit pt office at Mazagon?

Thanks
Niki

Is a Capital Gain Exemption Certificate obtained through a CBDT-registered valuer legally valid?

**Query: Taxation of Crypto Futures in India (FY 2026–27)**

I am an Indian resident planning to trade BTC/ETH perpetual futures on:

1. **Binance Global:** USDT-settled futures.
2. **Delta Exchange India:** INR-settled futures.

My main question is whether I can pay income tax on **net annual trading profit after adjusting eligible losses, trading fees and funding charges**, instead of paying 30% tax under the VDA regime.

Please clarify:

1. Are cash-settled crypto futures taxable as business/speculative income or under the 30% VDA tax regime?
2. Can winning and losing futures trades be netted for tax purposes?
3. Does receiving profits in USDT make the futures profit taxable under VDA rules? Is converting USDT into INR a separate taxable event?
4. Is Delta Exchange's INR settlement treated differently from Binance's USDT settlement?
5. What is the legally correct tax treatment, with relevant sections or circulars, for FY 2026–27?

I would appreciate a concise answer from a CA familiar with crypto derivatives. Thank you.
