Omg 5 lakhs? Are you sure?

Mine tax filing is done by a CA. They are very well versed with it. When I saw my ITR that they filed, it had some sections termed as “sec(i) xyz” etc and gave deductions for

Food,Telephone,Internet allowance My gre/toefl exam fee Full flight tickets fare including of myself & other members in the PNR. Interest from savings bank My loss from Paytm stocks 🥲

All the above are apart from hra, lic, mf. So please consult a CA.

What's that

Suppose I'm a professional like doctor, lawyer, consultant or architect and my income is 15lpa. I'm allowed to deduct business expenses like maybe uniforms, equipment, office rent, conveyance to arrive at taxable income.

I can deduct the whole 15lpa as expenses provided I have receipts of business expense and maintain books of accounts.

Section 44ADA of Income Tax Act allows me to deduct upto 50% if my income is below 50 lpa without providing receipts and maintaining books of accounts.

So from 15lpa, I deduct 50% and arrive at 7.5lpa as my taxable income. I further deduct 1.5lakhs as 80C (PPF, ELSS, NPA). Hence I'm supposed to pay tax on 6lakhs only.

India needs a 3rd Front

While the last 10+ years of Modi government has largely been to position India as a strategic uprising economy, there is no denying the fact that the Government to a large extent has failed in casting the tax net wide.
