Simplified one page Income Tax Return and linking of the PAN Card to the Aadhaar Card on the Income Tax Portal

Simplified one page Income Tax Return Form: Changes to keep in mind before filing Tax Return for AY2017-18

The financial year 2016-17 has ended and it is time to file your income tax return. However, filing your ITR is going to be less taxing now as in a move towards simplifying the cumbersome income tax forms, the government has launched a new and simplified one page ITR form-1 (Sahaj) for the financial year 2017-18.

“This is a welcome step towards ease of doing business in India and simplifying administrative procedures for the common man. This ITR Form-1(S) can be filed by an individual having income up to Rs 50 lakh from salary, one house property and other income like bank interest, etc. This marks the end of the 7-page cumbersome ITR -1 form which was earlier filed by salaried individuals,” says Gautam Kapil, Tax Consultant, V K Kapil & Co Chartered Accountants.

Who can file the simplified return form?

Only individuals having salaried income/one house property income/ bank interest income/ any other income stand to benefit.

Changes to keep in mind before filing ITR-1(S)

Part A: General Information — Aadhaar information is compulsory. In case an individual doesn’t have an Aadhaar number but has applied for it, he can give Aadhaar Enrollment ID.

Part E: Other Information – A new column has been introduced to report ‘Cash deposited during November 09, 2016 to December 30, 2016’ (if aggregate cash deposits exceeds Rs 2 lakh).

Schedule A1 – Schedule for details of Assets and Liabilities that was introduced last year has now been removed.

Columns relating to tax deductions have been rationalized, reducing the number of columns to just 5 as compared to earlier 19. “Commonly-used deductions like Section 80C(LIC), 80D (Mediclaim), 80TTA (savings account interest) & 80G (donation) have been provided for. Any other deductions can be mentioned under column ‘Any other’,” says Kapil.

There is no change in the manner of filing of ITR Forms as compared to last year. All these ITR Forms are to be filed electronically.

This will reduce the compliance burden to a significant extent on the salaried class & individual tax payers not having any business income.

As per the press release issued by the government, this initiative will benefit more than two crore tax-payers who will be eligible to file their return of income in this simplified Form.

It should be noted that from July 1, 2017, it would become mandatory for an individual to mention his Aadhaar card number or the number showing that he has applied for the Aadhaar card in the new ITR forms.

Individuals who have income of less than Rs 5 lakh (not having any refund of taxes) or are super senior citizens can download the ITR-1(S) return form from http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/downloads/income-tax-return.aspx and have an option of filing it manually. Please note that this form is a specimen available on income tax website for manual filing.

“The new form is still not available for e-filing on the income tax India e-filing platform and is expected to be out soon,” says Kapil.

Central Government Staff Side JCM Meeting with on 3rd May 2017 – Agenda

Agenda items of the Standing Committee meeting of National Council JCM.

JCM Agenda before Central Government

1. Removing the anomalous situation in the representation in the JCM.

The JCM was set up as a machinery to enable the employees to hold discussions with the Government and avoid confrontation and strike. At the beginning all the non gazette employees had representatives at the JCM, National, Departmental and regional level Councils. However, in the case of CSS and CSSS the Government had permitted even the Group B. Gazetted officers at the level of the Section officers to have representations both at the National and Departmental levels as a special case taking into account the characteristics of their job content. The classification of posts in Central Civil services underwent change thereafter. The Class I, II, III and IV were assigned the nomenclature of Group A B C and D. Later, the Department of Personnel introduced Group B Non Gazetted as another category. They specifically prohibited the Group B Non-gazetted category of officials from the purview of the JCM. Most of them became Group B Non Gazetted due to the assigning of higher scale of pay by the Successive Pay Commissions or by the Government in appreciation of their representations. It could be seen that there had been no change either in the level of responsibilities or in the duties assigned to these categories.

They continue to do the job as was the case earlier i.e. at the time of setting up of the JCM. Precluding them from the JCM scheme was therefore not only untenable but also resulted in their grievances not being able to be presented at the highest negotiating forum. After the 6th CPC recommendations were accepted and implemented most of the grades and cadres with the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 and 4600 were classified as Group B.Non-Gazetted.

The entire Group D cadres were abolished and the functions in most of the Departments were either outsourced or contractorised. The reclassification of the erstwhile Group C Cadres as Group B. Non Gazetted resulted in their having no representation in the council. We, therefore, request that the matter must be reviewed to ensure that the cadres and grades which had representation when the JCM was initially set up is not taken out of the scheme. In other words, all non-gazetted cadres must have representation in the JCM with the special exceptions in the case of CSS and CSSS.

A GDS official at one level will be at that level only for ever and getting 10% allowance for the revenue generation over 100% is not at all possible : GDS Committee Recommondations regarding Revenue Generation

A GDS official at one level will be at that level only for ever and getting 10% allowance for the revenue generation over 100% is not at all possible : GDS Committee Recommondations regarding Revenue Generation

GDS Pay Committee Recommendations - formula for calculation of expenditure & Revenue norms  & monthly Revenue of of GDS Post offices:

  

 A GDS official at one level will be at that level only for ever and getting 10% allowance for the revenue generation over 100% is not at all possible.

There is no chance to grow up from level 1 to level 2 and to getting 10% allowances above 100% revenue generation will not be so easy for level 2.

We illustrate practical statistics as below 

The GDS Pay Committee has given  the table (table 4.18 ) for calculation of monthly revenue of GDS Post offices. On observation on income side getting more income is very difficult as to rough calculations a B.O. transacted 

3,000 RD       :     3,000 ×63.74÷12 = 15,935 /-

1,500 SB         :     1500 × 63.74 ÷12 = 7 ,967 /-

1,500 MGNREGS :1500 × 24.88  12 = 3, 110 /-

Monthly RPLI collection :  1,00,000 ×4÷ 100

Approx.(150  P0licies )      = 4 ,000 /- 

Will get around Rs.31,012 /- income per month. 

Where as , as per below Expenditure table (No.4.19 expenditure table) the average expenditure on a B.O. will be around Rs.36,000 as given in the table in respect of double handed offices. Totally doing the above 6,000 above transactions is remote in a village.

There is no chance to grow up from level 1 to level 2 and to 10% above 100% revenue will not be so easy for level 2. It appears that an official at one level will be at that level only for ever and getting 10% allowance for the revenue over 100% is not at all possible.

Finance Ministry okays 8.65 per cent interest on EPF

The Finance Ministry is believed to have permitted the Labour Ministry to go ahead with 8.65 per cent rate of interest on employees' provident fund for 2016-17, which will benefit over four crore EPFO members. 

The Finance Ministry in its communication to the Labour Ministry has, however, put a rider that the interest rate should not result in a deficit for the retirement fund. This will enable the Labour Ministry to provide 8.65 per cent rate as decided by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) trustees. 

According to EPFO estimates, the fund will see a surplus after providing 8.65 per cent interest rate for the last fiscal. 

A reluctant Finance Ministry had been nudging the Labour Ministry to lower the EPF rate to below 8.65 per cent as approved by the EPFO trustees in December last year. 

"The Finance Ministry in its recommendation to the Labour Ministry said it is up to the latter to decide on what interest rate should be given. However, it should be ensured that there should not be any deficit to the fund," according to a source. 

"The Finance Ministry had earlier suggested an EPF rate slightly lower than approved by the trustees as it wanted the interest to be aligned with the rates of small savings," added the source. 

Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya has been maintaining that the EPFO subscribers would be provided 8.65 per cent rate of interest for 2016-17. 

"The Central Board of Trustees (CBT) had decided to give 8.65 per cent. Our ministry keeps on discussing with the Finance Ministry. We would have surplus of Rs 158 crore on providing 8.65 per cent," Dattatreya had said earlier last week when asked whether the Finance Ministry is making a case for lowering the interest rate. 

"If need be, I will talk to them (the Finance Ministry). I have requested them to approve 8.65 per cent. In any case this amount (interest income) will be given to workers," the minister had said.

As per the practice, the board's decision is concurred by the Finance Ministry after evaluating whether the EPFO would be able to provide the rate approved by trustees through its own income or not. 

Once the Finance Ministry ratifies the rate of interest approved by the CBT, it is credited into the account of EPFO members for that particular financial year. 

The Finance Ministry had last year also decided to lower the EPF interest rate of 8.8 per cent for 2015-16, decided by the CBT, to 8.7 per cent. The decision had drawn flak from all quarters forcing the government to uphold 8.8 per cent. 

The Finance Ministry has been asking the Labour Ministry to rationalise the EPF interest rate in view of lowering of returns on various administered saving schemes like PPF. 

The government generally ratifies the rate of return approved by the CBT because the EPFO is an autonomous body and provides interest on EPF deposits from its own income.

Public Provident Fund (PPF) Rate At 40-Year Low. Can It Fall Further?

PPF or public provident fund deposits will fetch 7.9 per cent interest rate for the April-June quarter – the lowest interest rate in nearly 40 years.

The Finance Ministry on March 31 lowered interest rate from 8 per cent to 7.9 per cent on PPF deposits in its latest quarterly revision. Interest rate on PPF as well as other small savings schemes has been going down steadily in line with a broad decline in overall interest rate in the financial system.

Since April last year, interest rates of all small saving schemes, including PPF, have been recalibrated on a quarterly basis. Earlier, they used to be revised annually. The interest rates are linked to yields on government bonds. Interest on small savings schemes, including PPF, enjoy a small mark-up over yields of bonds of comparable duration. Now the important question is, whether PPF interest rates will be revised further lower?

Experts don’t rule out a further cut. “PPF rates will see a slow decrease till the time the inflation remains in the RBI target band of 4-5 per cent. Further cuts in the PPF rates cannot be ruled out even though the RBI stance has turned from accommodative to neutral. However, the cuts in the PPF rates will be minor given the political implications they may have,” said Manoj Nagpal, CEO of Outlook Asia Capital.

Besides macro-economic factors like inflation and overseas flows into bonds, yields also take cue from RBI’s policy stance. Bond yields have hardened since RBI in February announced a change in its policy stance to neutral though strong overseas flows have kept yields in a range.

Is PPF Really Worth It?

Yes, say some financial planners. “PPF continues to offer positive real returns. In comparison, bank fixed deposits offer around 7 per cent. Considering a post-tax interest rate of around 5-7 per cent, depending on one’s tax slab, for people in higher tax slab clearly this will only help them match inflation, Mr Nagpal added. “Bank fixed deposit will at best be a value protector.”

PPF comes under the exempt-exempt-exempt (EEE) tax regime, meaning interest earned as well as the withdrawals from the PPF is tax-free.

At SBI, You Don’t Need To Maintain Minimum Balance In These Accounts

State Bank of India or SBI has said it is exempting its customers holding certain account types from maintenance of average monthly balance.

Such accounts include small savings bank accounts, basic savings bank accounts and Jan Dhan accounts, or the accounts opened under the government’s financial inclusion scheme Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana or PMJDY.

This was said in a tweet by the bank, which recently adopted a new brand identity after merger with five associate banks and Bharatiya Mahila Bank. SBI had earlier decided to increase the minimum balance required for maintaining savings accounts from April 1, hitting 31 crore depositors including pensioners and students.

Besides, State Bank of India is also offering corporate salary accounts without the requirement to maintain minimum monthly balance.

The monthly average balance (MAB) requirement was increased to as high as Rs. 5,000 for branches in six metros. In case of non-compliance, savings bank account holders will invite a penalty ranging from Rs. 20 (in rural branches) to Rs. 100 (in metro cities), as per the bank’s website.

Here are some of the other features SBI offers under these accounts, according to its website.

Small savings bank account

SBI’s small savings bank account has a maximum balance limit of Rs. 50,000 and offers a rate of interest applicable to savings bank accounts. Account holders get an ATM-cum-Debit card, issued free of cost and without any annual maintenance charge, as per the SBI website. All credits in a financial year should not aggregate to more than Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 10,000 in case of withdrawals and transfers.

Basic savings account

SBI’s basic savings account has no minimum balance or maximum balance limits. Holders of this account type “will not be eligible to open any other Savings Bank Account” at the bank. Such an account – in case the customer already holds one – will have to be closed within 30 days of opening the basic savings bank deposit account.

Corporate salary package

SBI’s salary account under corporate salary package offers many benefits to the employer and the employee alike. This account type reduces employer’s paperwork and salary administration cost. Employees get free internet banking and mobile banking services, among other features, as per the SBI website.

Suspense Over Allowance Committee Report Continues

7th Pay Commission: Suspense Over Allowance Committee Report Continues

 

The views of allowance committee, which is examining 7th Pay Commission recommendations, are not yet known, a top employee union official said. The panel could submit its report in five to six days, he added. Hopes were high that the allowance committee on 7th Pay Commission may submit its report to the government this week. The allowance committee had held a meeting in this regard on April 6 which some employee union officials termed as “conclusive”. The 7th pay commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances

.The 7th Pay Commission had recommended that house rent allowance or HRA be paid at the rate of 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent of the new basic pay, depending on the type of city. The 7th Pay Commission had also recommended that the rate of HRA be revised to 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent when DA crosses 50 per cent, and further revised to 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent when DA crosses 100 per cent. With regard to allowances, employee unions have demanded HRA at the rate of 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cen

At a previous meeting held on March 28, the allowance committee on 7th Pay Commission recommendations had sought comments from the ministries of defence, railways and posts on treatment of some allowances.

The government had earlier said that that the decision on allowances will be taken after the committee on 7th Pay Commission submits its report. The government had in June accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension. But the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations relating to allowances were referred to the Ashok Lavasa committee.

7th Pay Commission: Who is responsible for the delay in the implementation of 7CPC?

Earlier this month, a report said that “Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Arun Jaitley could be held responsible for the delay in the implementation of higher allowance.”

New Delhi, April 8: As the financial year had already ended, and the Budget session is about to end by next week but the more than 1 lakh central government employees have not got their answers on higher allowances and pay hike under the 7th Pay Commission. The committee on allowance which was formed by the government had already failed twice to meet the deadline to submit the report and on Thursday the members of the committee had a meeting and some reports suggest that they are likely to submit its report in a week’s time. More than 43 lakh central government employees and 57 lakh pensioners are eagerly waiting for the implementation of 7th Pay Commission, especially for higher allowances. As almost a year had passed and there is no firm decision on the issue, due to which several government employees have held the committee officials responsible for the delay.

In June last year, after the Narendra Modi government had approved the recommendations made under the 7th Pay Commission b retired justice AK Mathur and his team, the government had then formed 7th Pay Commission recommendation committee on a higher allowance and the committee is also responsible for working on the minimum wage of central government employees. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced the formation of Lavasa panel under the chairmanship of Ashok Lavasa, to examine the issues and suggestions raised on an allowance.

Earlier this month, The Sen Times quoted a source saying that “Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Arun Jaitley could be held responsible for the delay in the implementation of higher allowance.”

If reports are to be believed, the Committee on Allowances, headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa, will submit its final reports to Arun Jaitley and once the report is submitted there are chances that final decision will be taken soon.

In Thursday’s meeting, the Committee on Allowances was apprised 14 existing allowances given by Department of Posts, Ministries of Railways and Defence. The panel had sought more details on these allowances as it were left out by the 7th Pay Commission. Some reports claim that the committee has taken a final view on these 14 existing allowances.

Earlier the 7CPC in its findings had recommended the abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 others out of 196 allowances.
