Income from prize earnings

HI

 

Agreed any Prize winning is subject to flat tax of 30 % ( + EC). 

Now a friend of mine has received a Bumper prize worth  INR 85000/-, the company has paid my friend after deducting TDS + EC.

The total taxable incomd including this prize money is less than taxable limit. 

My question is 

1.) Can he claim exemption for "Earnings from Prize money"

2.) Can he claim the TDS deducted.

He can claim the TDS as refund provided the TDS certificate is available.

Still awaiting answers, please reply

I don't agree with venkatesh, as per section 115BB flat rate of 30% is attracted to "winning from prize money". The benefit of basic exemption is not available to the assessee in this case.

Therefore your friend cannot claim refund of TDS.
