Can an individual who is a minor, accept gift from his Grand father's Sister without paying any income tax.
Note : Since the individual is minor and cannot give consent for receipt of gift, the gift would be accepted by the minor's father for and behalf of minor.
Thus can it be construed that the gift is received by minor's father from his father's sister and not chargeable to tax.

Dear Sir,

Pls help me for tell the difference between Modvat and Excise Duty.

Dear Experts,

Income derived by providing accomodation as a paying guest would be taxable under house property or business profession?

Also can hra benefit be claimed by the person paying rent on the basis of rent receipt?

Assessee is a private limited company. Return of Income was filed declaring loss. TDS credit was claimed. Deductor has not deposited the TDS with the ITD. During the scrutiny proceedings the A O verified the party statements which shows that TDS has really been deducted. Deductor was also summoned for giving statement regarding the transactions with the assessee. However, while passing the order acceptance or otherwise of the TDS claim has not been mentioned by the A O. Whether, the A O is not duty bound to pass the order either to accept the TDS claim or reject the same while passing the assessment order; especially when the amount of TDS is substantial and the credit has been claimed in the RoI.
Thanks in advance

I have four years old flat at Bhubaneswar, Orissa. I am planning to book a under construction villa jointly with my wife at Bangalore, with a home loan from a Bank. I would like to sell my Bhubaneswar flat and invest the capital gain for my under construction villa at Bangalore. Bhubaneswar flat is in my name, but Villa at Bangalore will be booked by both – me and my wife. Wife is not working and she has no income. Please clarify below.

1. If I sell my Bhubaneswar flat which is in my name, can I use the capital gain in my under construction villa (me and my wife) at Bangalore ?

2. Bangalore villa will be booked around May-2013 and most probably I will get the passion by Jan-2015. Agreement with builders will happen in June-2013 and villa registration with sale deed towards Oct/Nov-2014. Please let me know the time frame for selling my Bhubaneswar flat so that capital gain is not taxable.

3. While computing the capital or loss, which date one should consider- Agreement date with builders / actual registration date through sale deed / Possession date of first house?

4. From income tax point of view, what other things need to be considered while selling my Bhubaneswar flat. Particularly 80C charged for last couple of years will be taxable?
