SECTION 281 OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961 - CERTAIN TRANSFERS TO BE VOID – GUIDELINES FOR PRIOR PERMISSION UNDER SECTION 281 TO CREATE A CHARGE ON THE ASSETS OF BUSINESS {200 TAXMANN 31 (ST.)}

CIRCULAR NO. 4/2011 [F. NO. 402/69/2010-ITCC] DATED 19-7-2011
The Board has decided that:
The taxpayers should apply in the prescribed form annexed hereto titled “Application u/s 281 of the IT Act, 1961” which would be available on the departmental website, as well as with the Assessing Officers.
The taxpayer would have to file the form at least thirty days prior to the proposed date of transaction.
The circumstances under which prior permission u/s 281 should be granted by the Assessing Officers are as follows:
(i)     If there is no demand outstanding and there is no likelihood of demand arising in the next six months, then the permission should be granted.
(ii)    If undisputed demand is outstanding and there is no likelihood of demand arising in next 6 months, then the taxpayer should pay the same along with interest due thereon and then permission should be granted.
(iii)   If there is disputed demand outstanding, then the taxpayer should obtain stay for the same and indemnify the outstanding demand by way of bank guarantee or sufficient assets or by Department retaining the first charge on the assets proposed to be transferred or on which such charge is being created, to the extent of such demand. Thereafter, the permission u/s 281 would be granted by the A.O.
(iv)   If demand is likely to arise in the next six months, then the A.O. should explore the possibility of action prescribed u/s 281B.

There would be only one level of intervention i.e., at the level of the range head for granting permission. The cases in which A.O. would require such approval would be where:-
(a)  value of assets being transferred or on which charge is being created, or
(b)  the amount of charge being created is ` Ten crores or
more.
The timelines for granting/refusing permission u/s 281 by the A.O. are as follows:
(i)  If there is no demand outstanding and there is no likelihood of demand arising in the next six months, then the A.O. should grant the permission within ten working days of the receipt of the application.
(ii) If undisputed demand is outstanding and there is no likelihood of demand arising in next 6 months, then the A.O. should grant permission within ten working days of payment as in para 3(ii) above.
(iii) If there is disputed demand outstanding and the taxpayer has obtained stay and indemnified the demand, then the A.O. should grant the permission within ten working days of the indemnification of the demand.
(iv) If demand is likely to arise in the next six months and the A.O. is considering actions prescribed u/s 281B for the assets excluding the asset under consideration, then the A.O. should grant the permission within fifteen working days of the receipt of the application.
(v) If the taxpayer does not pay the undisputed outstanding demand or his application for stay of disputed demand is rejected or he is unable to indemnify the outstanding demand, the application shall be disposed of within a period of ten working days. In case the permission is not being granted, a speaking and reasoned order conveying refusal would be issued with the approval of the Range head within ten working days of expiry of time given to the taxpayer to pay the undisputed demand or rejection of his stay application, as the case may be.
These time limits should be followed scrupulously by the A.Os.
The validity of the letter granting permission u/s 281 would be:
(I)  One hundred and eighty days from the date of issue of approval, or
(ii)  Service of order of attachment u/s 281B whichever is earlier.
Once the asset is transferred or charge is created, the taxpayer should submit the documents, in this regard, to the A.O. for his record.
This circular shall come into force with immediate effect.

SECTION 139 OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961 – RETURN OF INCOME – EXEMPTION FROM REQUIREMENT OF FURNISHING RETURN OF INCOME FOR ASSESSMENT YEAR 2011-12 WHERE INCOME DOES NOT EXCEED RS. 5 LAKHS – ASSESSEE HAS OPTION TO AVAIL SAID EXEMPTION {200 TAXMANN 41 (ST.)}

ORDER [F. NO. 142/09/2011-SO(TPL)], DATED 25-7-2011

The Central Board of Direct Taxes had exempted a certain class of persons from the requirement of furnishing a Return of income under section 139(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for the assessment year 2011-12, vide Notification SO No. 1439 (E) dated 23-6-2011, subject to the conditions specified in the Notification. It has come to the notice of the Board that in some Income-tax offices, Returns of Income are not being received by the staff on the ground that an individual with less than ` 5 lakhs of income is not required to furnish his return of income. Necessary instructions have been issued to the officers and staff concerned to accept Returns of Income from those taxpayers who wish to file their Return of income even if they satisfy the conditions of the above-mentioned notification.
