Mr Samir Singh Purchased a vacant plot from Mr Jimmy D’Souza and Mrs Claudia D’Souza in January 2026. The details of vacant plot and transaction are as follows –

1. Mr Jimmy D’Souza and Mrs Claudia D’Souza are the joint and absolute owners by title of the residential vacant Plot, in the project called "Embassy Springs" situated at Devanahalli, Bangalore.
2. Residential Vacant Plot forms portion of larger property developed for residential purposes, forming "Embassy Springs", which was purchased by the vendors via sale deed in financial year 2023, registered at the sub-registrar office.
3. Vendors after having acquired the “Residential Vacant Plot”, got Khatha of the “Residential Vacant Plot” duly mutated in their names in the records of BBMP and the BBMP has also assigned Khatha No.
4. The formal NOCs are currently not being issued because the development is in the handover stage from the "Embassy Springs" (Developer) to the Interim RWA.
Issue :
The "Embassy Springs" (Developer), is asking for exorbitant amount of Rs 2,00,000 as transfer charges to update the name of purchaser (Mr Samir Singh) in their official records.
Queries :
1. Can the "Embassy Springs" (Developer) ask for such unreasonable transfer charges without any basis as they are not party to contract between purchaser and seller for the purchase of Residential Vacant Plot?
2. Is it legal for developer to ask for such amount?
3. What can the seller and purchaser do under any law applicable in such cases in India specifically Bangalore?

Hi, I have cleared my CA final group 1 in May 2016 and gave my last attempt in Aug 2021 for CA final group 2. I want to understand if I need to register again to give an attempt in future. I am planning to give an attempt in 2026 Dec or in 2027. Additionally will group 1 results be invalid if the registration is not valid?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am seeking your expert opinion regarding the correct GST applicability, rate, and HSN classification for one of our products.
We are dealing with a product named “Millet-Based Probiotic Drink”, which is a packaged, non-alcoholic, fermented beverage made from millets, containing live probiotics. It is marketed as a spicy digestive/probiotic health drink, with zero sugar and zero preservatives.
There is confusion regarding whether this product should be classified as:
• a non-alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22, or
• a functional / probiotic / nutraceutical product under any other appropriate heading,
and accordingly, whether the applicable GST rate should be 5%, 12%, 18% or any other rate.

We request your guidance on:
1. The most appropriate HSN code for this product,
2. The correct GST rate applicable, and
3. Any relevant notifications, circulars, or case laws supporting the classification.
Your professional clarification will help us ensure correct compliance and avoid future disputes.
Looking forward to your valuable advice.

Respected Sir/Madam,

How to file this return

Please reply

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
This query is pertaining to AY 2024-25.
I had filed the return u/s139(1) under old regime where I had claimed 100% deduction for donation made to "The National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities constituted under sub-section (1) of section 3 of the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999". However, few days ago I have received an SMS alert from the income tax department saying that "Our records show that you claimed charitable/relief fund donation deductions in your AY 2024-25 ITR. However, based on the PAN you provided, the organisation you donated to may not be eligible for the deduction you claimed.

You need to update your ITR to either add the correct PAN or remove the deduction. To do this,visit https://www.incometax.gov.in. Once logged in, navigate to “e-File” → “File Income Tax Return → “Select Assessment Year” → “Select Filing Type” → choose “139(8A) - Updated Return” → “ Select ITR Type” → “Continue” and update section 80G/80GGC".
As per the provisions of section 80G, donation to the above entity is eligible for 100% deduction.
Now I am getting a tax payable along with interest u/234A, 234B and 234C to pay the tax on this donation amount.
Can anyone please guide me how to resolve this query.
Also is there any way in which I can verify the PAN of the Donee Entity.
