Income Tax Returns

Annual filing of Income Tax Returns

http://india.gov.in/spotlight/spotlight.php

"It was only for the good of his subjects that he collected taxes from them, just as the Sun draws moisture from the Earth to give it back a thousand fold."

- Kalidas in Raghuvansh eulogizing KING DALIP

Taxation in India has existed since ancient times. It was considered as a sacred duty in Vedic period. Taxation finds its references in many ancient books like 'Srimada Bhagavatam', 'Manu Smriti' and 'Arthasastra'.
In the modern times, income tax is an annual tax on income. The Indian Income Tax Act (External website that opens in a new window) (Section 4) provides that in respect of the total income of the previous year of every person, income tax shall be charged for the corresponding assessment.
Paying income tax is compulsory for all citizens whose gross total income - which includes income from salary, business, capital gains, property and other sources, before allowing for deductions - exceeds the basic exemption limit.

		What is Income Tax?

		Income tax is the direct tax paid to the Central Government by an individual or a company/firm within a given financial year (April-March). The Income Tax Department (External website that opens in a new window) is governed by the Central Board for Direct Taxes (External website that opens in a new window) (CBDT) and is part of the Department of Revenue (External website that opens in a new window) under the Ministry of Finance (External website that opens in a new window), Government of India. The Income Tax Act (External website that opens in a new window), 1961 as amended by Finance Act 2012 (External website that opens in a new window), makes it obligatory upon any person to file a return if the person's total income or the total income of any other person in respect of which he is assessable - under this Act during the previous year - exceeded the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax.

Who is to pay Income Tax?

The word income has a very broad and inclusive meaning. In case of a salaried person, all that is received from an employer in cash, kind or as a facility is considered as income. For a businessman, his net profits will constitute income. Income may also flow from investments in the form of Interest, Dividend, and Commission etc. Infact the Income Tax Act does not differentiate between legal and illegal income for the purpose of taxation. Under the Act, all incomes earned by people are classified into five different heads, such as: income from salary, income from house property, income from business or profession, income from capital gains and income from other sources.

		Tax Deduction at Source (TDS)

		Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) is one of the modes of collection of taxes, by which a certain percentage of amounts are deducted from a person at the time of making/crediting certain specific nature of payment to the other person and the deducted amount is remitted to the Government account. It is similar to "pay as you earn" scheme also known as Withholding Tax in many other countries. Every person responsible for making payment of nature covered by TDS provisions of Income Tax Act shall be responsible to deduct tax. However, in case of payments made under sec. 194A, 194C, 194H, 194I and 194J in respect of individual and HUF, only if the turnover or professional receipt exceeds sum of Rs.40 lakh or Rs.10 lakh respectively (the limits are Rs.60 Lakh or Rs.15 Lakh respectively w.e.f. 01.07.2010) in previous year, he is required to deduct tax at source.
