If a foreign individual receives a foreign inward remittance (income received from outside India), where should this be reported in the ITR utility, if at all? If the amount is exempt from tax in India, is there any requirement to disclose it in the ITR? Kindly clarify the relevant schedule/field, if applicable.

Hello Sir /Maam

EPFO credited interest.I put VPF above 2.5L as I find VPF a safe option inspite of tax component.

But credited interest it's not reflecting in 26AS/AIS

How to file tax and for which year to file tax
The Passbook neither mentions date of credit not the taxable interest .Just I see enhanced amount .When entries are not there in 26AS/AIS how to file?

I have a query regarding the reporting of Futures & Options (F&O) transactions in ITR-3 and the applicability of tax audit under Section 44AB.

The facts are as follows:

I am engaged in F&O trading.
The total traded value (purchase + sale contract value) exceeds ₹20 crore.
The absolute net profit from F&O transactions is ₹7,13,000.
I have filed / intend to file ITR-3.

My queries are:

Since the ₹20 crore represents only the total traded value and not the F&O turnover as per ICAI guidance, is a tax audit under Section 44AB applicable?
While filing ITR-3, should the purchase and sale figures represent the gross contract values, or should only the F&O turnover (computed as per ICAI guidance) be reported?
If the Trading Account schedule in ITR-3 contains fields for Sales and Purchases, what amounts should be entered for an F&O business?

Experts /Sir,

Like all EPFO subscribers, EPFO Interest for the FY2024-2025 was credited in July 2025 i.e. in FY2025-2026 (IT AY2026-2027).
EPFO has deducted TDS for the Interest paid. Looks like EPFO has either not remitted the TDS to IT Dept. or have credited it against some other PAN than mine.
Both the Interest paid and TDS deducted does not reflect in my AIS or Form 26AS.

I have raised EPFO grievance and also sent EPFO Commissioner an email, but there is no response.

The only proof I have is the EPF Passbook/Statement downloaded from EPF website which shows Intt. paid and TDS deducted.
While filing ITR for AY2026-2027, is there a way I can claim this TDS without the AIS/Form 26AS reflecting the Intt. paid and TDS deducted ?
Appreciate your expert advice.

Good morning Sir,

I have a query regarding Section 44AD.

Can interest income earned from a money lending business be treated as business income and offered under Section 44AD? Or should such interest income always be shown under the head "Income from Other Sources"?

Could you please clarify the correct legal position and any relevant provisions or judicial precedents on this issue?

Thank you, Sir.

Which ITR to file if the TDS is deducted under 194A and 194C? If I'm filing ITR3 it's showing you cannot file under this as there is no business income and if I'm filling under 2 its saying I cannot file under ITR 2 as 194 C is not considered under ITR 2

Issue: A salaried employee is getting reimbursement of Fuel/driver expenses etc as part of his salary against his own car. So far in old regime, he can claim the exemption u/s 17(2 of Rs. 32,400/- for his small car. However, while switching to new regime this year, he is unable to claim the same in ITR-2, though the Form captures the perquisite amount under the Income Head- Salary properly. My query is -

1) Is this exemption u/s17(2) is still available under New Tax Regime ?
2) And if so, how can this be claimed in ITR-2?

Hi,

Property purchased in 2005 by a partnership firm. Now the firm is getting dissolved and two partners receive 50-50 share in same property after dissolution.

Partnership firm will pay capital gain tax on recokner value as on date.

What will be the cost to partner when they sell their respective share in future?

Will it be recokner value as shown by partnership firm? Or cost to previous owner i.e original cost paid by partnership firm with indexation?

Pls advice

Hi,

I had purchased 3 land parcels on different dates, different sellers and separate registries.
1. Oct 2024 - Seller 1, Land 1 - 100 SQM, COA - 10L
2. Dec 2024 - Seller 2, Land 2 - 100 SQM, COA - 10L
3. Jan 2025 - Seller 3, Land 3 - 100 SQM - COA - 10L

I sold all 3 parcels of land combined to one buyer in a single registry.
July 2025 - Buyer - 300 SQM - Value - 45L

- The above transaction has to be reported as Short Term Capital Gain for ITR FY 25-26.
The STCG section does not have an option to report multiple registries together and only one date of purchase can be entered.
1. Option 1 - Report each land sell separately, by dividing the sell value in 3 equal portions.
2. Option 2 - Report total land sell in one go, by taking the date of purchase of the earliest land.
3. Option 3 - If any other option can be suggested.

Please advice on how to go ahead with this.

Thanks in Advance.
