A. Dear client,
At the time of sale of property, buyer is required to deduct TDS on property and deposit the same with the government. But, the seller is allowed to avail credit of the same or claim TDS refund by filing his ITR.

Within 30 days after the end of the month in which the tax deduction is made, the buyer must submit Form 26QB.

If the term insurance policy offers a health rider and you have opted for the rider, then the premium on such a rider can be claimed for deduction from taxable income under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act 1961. However, the premium amount of the term insurance would need to be claimed under Section 80C of the Act. The premium payable against a Term Insurance plan comes under the purview of Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Under Sec. 80D, Health Insurance, and Critical illness pl ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,

The Income Tax Act of India considers all sources of income, including income from a regular job and income from side hustles, for the purpose of taxation.

If your total income, including your salary from your primary job and the earnings from your side hustles, exceeds the basic exemption limit (which may vary based on your age and other factors), you may be liable to pay income tax on the amount exceeding that limit.

It is essential to report all your income accurately while fi ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,

In India, the taxation of cryptocurrency transactions depends on various factors, including the nature of the transaction, the holding period, and the individual's total income. If you receive your salary in cryptocurrency, it is still considered a form of income and is subject to taxation.

When you sell the cryptocurrency received as salary at the same price or at a loss, it could still be considered a taxable event. The tax implications will depend on whether it is classified as ...ReadMore
