Asra when Born on 07/04/2010










No Need to Send ITR-V after E-Filings from A.Y. 2014-15..


At present two options are available for tax payers to e-file ITR, either e-file ITR by affixing digital signature or without affixing digital signature. In first case there is no need to send ITR-V to the I-T department’s CPC, based in Bangalore but in the later case tax payer is required to take a print out of ITR-V and send it to the I-T department’s CPC, based in Bangalore within 120 days of e-filing, in case tax payer fails to do so, his/her return would deemed to be invalid return.
The above practice is adopted by every Indian and also CBDT has made mandatory for the assessee whose income exceeds Rs.5 lakhs to file tax return online with the main motto of shifting all the working paperless.
As per statistics during 2012-13, a 31 per cent jump was seen in e-filings by taxpayers as 2.14 crore entities filed returns online as compared to 1. 64 crore in 2011-12 but still most of e-filings are done without affixing digital signature means sending ITR-V becomes necessary and thus does not fulfill the motto of department.
 
So CBDT has come up with the new way which will save the taxpayer from the hassle of sending the paper document (called ITR-V) by post and tracking its acknowledgement which is going to be operational within this financial year i.e. F.Y. 2013-14 (A.Y. 2014-15).

SMS-based rail ticketing from July

Come July and you can book yourtrain ticket by sending an SMS.
     
Keeping an eye on the growing mobile phone market in India, IRCTC will launch SMS-based ticketing from July 1 and a dedicated number will be announced soon for this.
     
Describing the step as environment-friendly as no print-out is required, a senior IRCTC official said "mobile- based booking provides the users ease and convenience of booking tickets from anywhere and anytime. There will be no requirement of a printout because the ticketing message will be considered as valid during the journey."     
As per the requirement, one has to register the mobile number with IRCTC as well as one's bank. The Bank provides MMID (Mobile Money Identifier) and OTP (one time password) for authorization of payment.
    
The official said SMS booking is very simple as a passenger has to type the train number, destination, journey date, class and passenger details like name, age and gender on the SMS box.
     
"The sender will receive transaction ID and then make payment through sending another SMS by typing PAY followed by the transaction ID, MMID as received from the bank and password, said the official adding "with this the passenger's ticket is booked."
     
The service is available to all mobile subscribers and Rs. 3 is being charged per SMS and payment gateway charges are Rs. 5 for ticket amount upto Rs. 5000 and Rs. 10 for more than Rs. 5000

No Interest on Current Accounts with Banks


Gratuity Calculations

BASIC + DA / No.of days in a month (26) X 15 days X number of years of service *** = Gratuity Amount

*** Number of years of service should be more than 5 years ie.. 4 years 240 days
