Sir, we are engaged in a nursery business where we purchase plants, grow them, and sell them. Maintaining a detailed inventory or stock register for each plant is practically difficult. Therefore, we maintain only Plants Purchases and Plants Sales in Tally.

In such circumstances, could we face any issues during Income Tax scrutiny? Can the Income Tax Department reject our books of accounts and estimate our profits merely because we do not maintain a detailed stock register?

What minimum records should we maintain to comply with Income Tax provisions and avoid scrutiny-related issues? Kindly advise with reference to the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act and applicable judicial precedents.

A works contractor carrying on works with a government department.
During the month of September 2025, that concerned department filed an entry showing a payment of Rs. 30 lakhs to the contractor. Actually no such payments were received by the contractor. The contractor wanted to reject this entry in GSTR7. Instead of rejecting this entry ,the accountant wrongly accepted the entry. Now the deductor states that as the entry has been accepted by the deductee he can not revise the GSTR7 return filed by him. The GST officer also says that he can not do anything in this matter. Can the experts give a solution to this problem as this turnover will be added to the outward supply for this month and as the contractor has not received any such payment.

A client is registered under GST Act and is engaged in the manufacturing of cattle feed. The outward supply of cattle feed manufactured and sold by client is exempt from GST.
However, the client makes purchases of raw materials, packing materials and other goods from registered suppliers, on which GST is charged and paid. The Client also files GST Returns, including GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
in this situation, I seek expert clarification on the GST treatment of such purchases, the eligibility and treatment of any related input tax credit, the reporting requirements in GSTR-3B and the applicable provisions of the GST ACt, 2017, the GST Rules, 2017and relevant CBIC circulars or notifications.
thank you.

Assesee is not ordinarily resident, having partnership income in India and Salary Income in USA any form required to file before filing of ITR in India, please guide us

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.
