The government on Monday introduced in Parliament a bill to overhaul its archaic direct tax codes, a key reform aimed at simplifying procedures for investors and bring in more revenue by widening the tax net.
This switchover to DTC with higher exemption limits and lower corporate tax, Revenue Secretary Sunil Mitra says, will cost the government a revenue loss of Rs 53,172 crore on reduced rates and a loss of Rs 38,829 crore in the first year from corporate tax rate. “India's direct tax collection for 2011-12 is expected to be at Rs 5.27 lakh crore in the first year, if current rates hold,” he adds.The bill proposes to cut tax rates, replace profit-linked exemptions for companies with investment-linked incentives and simplify rules on corporate mergers, aimed at creating a tax code that can support growth in Asia's third-largest economy.
The dividend distribution tax (DDT) for holding companies has been removed up to any level and the securities transaction tax (STT) rate has been kept same at 0.25%. The new code would also scrap cess and surcharge.
The bill will now be applicable from April 1, 2012, instead of the earlier proposed March 1, 2011. This delay, Mitra says will allow time for switchover.

Due date to file Income tax for Non -audit cases for assessment year 2010-11 is 31.07.2010.But many of us has not filed their return And few person have a impression that there is no need to do so If their employer has deducted the TDS from Salary Income or their taxable Income is less than the exemption limit after taking the benefit of Section 80C to 80U benefit.

But leagal position is different.As per section 139(1) proviso ,income tax return is to be filed if person gross total income not net taxable income , is More than exemption limit means if you have earned 2,50000 in Fy 2009-10 and saved 100000(u/s 80C) and your net taxable income is 250000-100000=150000 Rs even then as per Income tax act,you have to file return as your Gross total income(250000) is more than 160000 .

RBI likely to raise key policy rates today : Experts

RBI likely to raise key policy rates today: Experts
The Reserve Bank is likely to increase key policy rates by at least 25 basis points in its first quarterly review of the monetary policy on Tuesday to tame inflationary expectations.
"I think there could be a small hike in the repo and reverse repo rate of say 25 basis points," HDFC Managing Director Renu Sud Karnad told.
High inflation may prompt the RBI to tighten money supply by raising the short-term lending (repo) and borrowing (reverse repo) rates on Tuesday, say bankers.

"There is a clear bias for policy rates to move up for the reason that inflation is still very high and inflationary expectation is to be contained. The bias is going to be upward," Union Bank of India Chairman M V Nair said.



"At that point in time, if the funding cost goes up, then the base rate will also go up. During the year, there is a clear bias for interest rates to move up," he added.



Punjab National Bank Chairman K R Kamath said whatever decision the RBI takes, the banks will respond accordingly.

Kamath further said that if the RBI raises the cash reserve ratio, that would put pressure on the cost of funds.

Earlier this month, RBI had raised the repo and reverse repo rates by 25 bps to tame inflation.

Inflation is still in double-digits, led by high food prices, and stood at 10.55 per cent in June.

But food inflation eased marginally to 12.47 per cent for the week ended 10th July from 12.81 per cent in the previous week.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's economic panel PMEAC has also pitched for tightening money supply, as current inflation rate is more than double the comfort level and can hurt high economic growth in the medium-term.

"A bias towards (monetary) tightening is necessary," the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Committee (PMEAC) said.

PMEAC head C Rangarajan said that if the RBI does not take strong monetary action to contain inflation, it can opt for a series of "baby steps" after its 27th July monetary review.

"Evidence on the funds flow side, as well as on the output side, clearly shows a strong economic recovery. In the backdrop of inflation rates that are more than twice the comfort-zone, it is important that monetary policy completes the process of exit and move towards a bias on tightening," he said.



Royal Bank of Scotland Managing Director and Head of Markets Ramit Bhasin said the RBI is likely to hike its short-term lending rate by 0.5 per cent to 6 per cent and the short-term borrowing rate by 1 per cent to 5 per cent through 2010.

"As we go forward, there would be higher capital inflows and the current liquidity crunch will ease much sooner than expected. According to our estimates, the RBI is likely to up the repo by 0.5 per cent and reverse repo by 1 per cent by December," Bhasin said.

Kotak Mahindra MF's Lakshmi Iyer said it is widely expected that RBI is going to hike rates by 25 bps.
Echoing similar view, Crisil Chief Economist D K Joshi said the focus for the RBI in the near-term would remain on curbing inflation. "We expect the RBI to hike the repo and reverse repo rates by 25 bps at on 27th July," Joshi said.

GST rate structure proposed by FM


The race to implement a countrywide goods and services tax (GST) has entered its final lap.
Finance Minister Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday proposed a threerate structure for the GST, which if adopted through an impending constitutional amendment, can dramatically alter tax administration by giving a one-shot solution to a welter of levies such as excise, value added tax and octroi.


At a meeting with state finance ministers, Mukherjee proposed a rate structure under which goods will attract a maximum levy of 20 per cent, services 16 per cent and essential items a concessional 12 per cent.
A broad consensus has been thrashed out.


The peak effective rate or the overall weighted average rate will be about 15 per cent.


Mukherjee also proposed the constitution of an empowered group chaired by Nandan Nilekani, chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to hammer out an appropriate technology solution for its implementation.


A Constitution amendment Bill to give effect to the structure is likely to be introduced in the monsoon session of Parliament that begins July 26.


The Centre and states will evenly share the revenue from GST. The government proposes to roll it out from next April.


This means that the Centre will collect 10 per cent and the state where it is sold will collect another 10 per cent for a good that attracts a 20 per cent GST.
Likewise, for services, the Centre and the states at which the service in question is rendered will collect 8 per cent each as GST.


The Centre plans to have a corpus from which states that lose out revenue as a result of the simplification are compensated. Mukherjee said the Centre was open to setting up a corpus higher than the Rs 50,000 crore recommended by the 13th Finance Commission.


“GST, a landmark reform of indirect taxes, is well within our reach. It is now for us to convert it into reality,“ the finance minister said.


West Bengal finance minister Asim Dasgupta, who is the chairman of empowered committee of state finance ministers, said “there has been remarkable progress and a there is a convergence process between states and Centre.“


The Centre has also agreed to fully compensate the states for their revenue losses on account of a reduction in the Central sales tax in 2009-10.


The state finance ministers, scheduled to meet next on August 4, will decide on the final rates after consulting their respective chief ministers.


Alchohol and petroleum products would be kept outside the GST ambit, Dasgupta said.


Experts welcomed the move, but said its success would depend on ironing out differences among states.

No overwriting on cheques after December 1 - RBI

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) directive to banks, asking them not to honour cheques with overwriting, will come into effect from December 1 instead of the earlier scheduled date of July 1, the apex bank said in its latest circular. The new rule is intended to prevent fraudulent withdrawal of money and expedite clearance of cheques. Meanwhile, telecom company Bharti Airtel subscribers received an SMS on June 28 that said "as per RBI, cheques with changes in amount or payee name (despite signature next to them) will not be cleared with effect from July 1."

However, Airtel today said that it is in the process of sending a revised advisory to its customers informing them about the change in the deadline to December 1. The RBI has also advised banks to create awareness among customers about the new norms, which were aimed at preventing fraud, besides expediting clearance of cheques where CTS (Cheque Truncation System) is used. Under CTS, image of cheque is sent to clearing house for transfer of funds. When contacted, an RBI spokesperson said, "The notification regarding cheque truncation system which prohibits alteration will come into effect from December 1, 2010. There is no mention of July 1."

The central bank in February had come out with circular on 'Standardisation and enhancement of security features in cheque forms' detailing the norms for image-based processing of cheques. RBI had said that fresh cheques should be issued by customers in case of change in payee's name or amount (whether in figures or words). Changes, however, could be made with regard to date. The new norms will not apply to those cheques, which are cleared by clearing houses that use Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) or non-MICR system. Also, it added, the norms will not be mandatory for over the counter collection of funds or for direct collection of cheques outside the Clearance House Arrangement.
