Quick Answer

What is the difference between a deduction and an exemption in Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam, Chennai?

An exemption (e.g., HRA under Section 10(13A), agricultural income under Section 10(1)) reduces gross total income — the receipt itself is not taxable. A deduction (e.g., Section 80C, 80D, 24(b)) reduces total income after computing income under the five heads. Exemptions are head-specific; deductions are claimed from gross total income under Chapter VI-A.

People Also Ask — IT Advisory in Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam
How do I decide between the Old Regime and the New Regime?
Compute taxable income under both regimes side-by-side. The New Regime (default from AY 2024-25) is preferable when total deductions plus exemptions are below approximately ₹3.75 lakh to ₹4.25 lakh. The Old Regime wins where 80C, 80D, 80CCD(1B), HRA, home loan interest under 24(b) and other Chapter VI-A claims aggregate above that band. Salaried assessees may switch each year; business/profession assessees must use Form 10-IEA and the choice is largely one-way.
How is the LTCG ₹1.25 lakh exemption applied from FY 2024-25?
Per Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, Section 112A exempts the first ₹1,25,000 of aggregate LTCG on listed equity / equity MF / business trust units in a financial year and taxes the balance at 12.5% from 23 July 2024. Transactions before 23 July 2024 in the same FY follow the older ₹1 lakh / 10% regime. STCG under Section 111A on the same assets is at 20% from 23 July 2024.
Are foreign assets and bank accounts compulsorily disclosed in Schedule FA?
Yes. Every Resident and Ordinarily Resident must disclose all foreign bank accounts, securities, beneficial interests, signing authority and immovable property in Schedule FA on calendar-year basis. Failure attracts a flat ₹10 lakh per asset per year penalty under Section 43 of the Black Money Act 2015 (immovable property below ₹20 lakh aggregate value carve-out aside).
What is the limit on Section 54/54F reinvestment after Budget 2023?
Finance Act 2023 introduced a ₹10 crore cap on the amount of investment in a residential house that can qualify for exemption under Section 54 (capital gain) and Section 54F (net consideration). Where the new house cost exceeds ₹10 crore, exemption is restricted to ₹10 crore worth of investment; the balance gain is taxable as LTCG.
What is the Section 195 TDS rate when paying a non-resident consultant?
Section 195 mandates TDS at the rate in force on any sum chargeable to tax. Where the payment is fees for technical services (FTS), domestic rate under Section 115A is 20% (plus surcharge / cess); the applicable DTAA may prescribe 10% or 15%. The lower rate applies where the payee furnishes TRC under Section 90(4), Form 10F and PAN. Form 15CA and Form 15CB (above ₹5 lakh) must be filed before remittance.
Are gifts from a HUF to its members taxable?
Gift from HUF to a member is exempt under Section 56(2)(x) since members are 'relatives' of the HUF for this purpose. However, on partial / complete partition, distribution of HUF property to members is governed by Section 171 and is not treated as gift. Income on gifted funds may still be subject to clubbing under Section 64(2) where the source is conversion of individual property to HUF.
How do I choose between the Old Regime and the New Regime under Section 115BAC?

The New Regime under Section 115BAC is the default from AY 2024-25. It offers lower slab rates but disallows most Chapter VI-A deductions (80C, 80D, 80G, HRA, LTA, home loan interest on self-occupied property). Choose Old Regime only if total deductions plus exemptions exceed roughly ₹3.75 lakh to ₹4.25 lakh — depending on income band.

What is the Section 87A rebate position under the New Regime after Budget 2025?

Under Section 87A read with Section 115BAC, a resident individual with total income up to ₹7 lakh is entitled to a rebate of up to ₹25,000 — making the effective tax liability nil. Marginal relief is available for incomes marginally above ₹7 lakh so that incremental tax does not exceed incremental income. The rebate is...

What is the difference between a deduction and an exemption?

An exemption (e.g., HRA under Section 10(13A), agricultural income under Section 10(1)) reduces gross total income — the receipt itself is not taxable. A deduction (e.g., Section 80C, 80D, 24(b)) reduces total income after computing income under the five heads. Exemptions are head-specific; deductions are claimed from gross total income under Chapter VI-A.

What is covered under Section 80C and what is the limit?

Section 80C allows a deduction of up to ₹1,50,000 for investments and payments — EPF, PPF, ELSS, life insurance premium (subject to Section 10(10D) cap of 10% of sum assured), 5-year tax-saver FD, NSC, principal repayment of housing loan, tuition fees of up to two children, and Sukanya Samriddhi. The deduction is available only under...

How much deduction is available under Section 80D for medical insurance?

Section 80D allows ₹25,000 for self/spouse/children below 60 and an additional ₹25,000 for parents (₹50,000 if parents are senior citizens — 60 plus). Where the assessee is also a senior citizen, the limit becomes ₹50,000 + ₹50,000 = ₹1,00,000. Within these limits, ₹5,000 may be claimed for preventive health check-ups. Cash payment for premium is...

Are donations under Section 80G fully deductible?

No. Section 80G donations fall in four categories — 100% without qualifying limit (PM National Relief Fund, National Defence Fund), 50% without qualifying limit (PM Drought Relief), 100% with qualifying limit of 10% of adjusted GTI, and 50% with the same qualifying limit (most NGOs). Donations above ₹2,000 must be paid by non-cash mode. Form...

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam

How the local trade mix shapes this — Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam businesses operate where with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations, and the cluster of residential, retail, restaurants businesses that defines Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam's commercial fabric.

Real Estate & Construction
Common issue: Property owners and small builders realise large one-time capital gains on sales without planning reinvestment reliefs under Sections 54/54F, and overlook the resulting advance-tax liability.
How we handle it: Assess Section 54/54F reinvestment eligibility before the sale, document the reinvestment timeline, and pay the advance-tax instalment covering the gain to avoid Section 234B/234C interest.
Salaried Individuals
Common issue: Employees change jobs mid-year and end up with two Form 16s, double-counted exemptions and a TDS shortfall, then discover the mismatch only when AIS and Form 26AS are compared at filing.
How we handle it: Consolidate both employers' income, recompute a single tax under the chosen regime, pay any self-assessment tax before filing, and correct future TDS through Form 12BB with the current employer.
IT & Software Services
Common issue: Salaried IT employees and freelancers around the OMR/Ambattur belt often let payroll default to the new regime without modelling their home loan and Section 80C position, and freelancers overlook advance tax and presumptive options under Section 44ADA.
How we handle it: Run an annual old-vs-new comparison factoring Section 24(b) interest and 80C/80D, file Form 12BB or Form 10-IEA as needed, and set a quarterly advance-tax calendar for freelance income under Section 44ADA.
Professionals & Consultants
Common issue: Doctors, architects and consultants under Section 44ADA frequently pay tax only at year end and face Sections 234B/234C interest, and sometimes mis-apply the presumptive percentage against actual receipts captured in AIS.
How we handle it: Forecast receipts quarterly, deposit advance tax via Challan 280 on the statutory dates, and reconcile gross receipts to Form 26AS/AIS before adopting the presumptive rate.
Retail & Trading
Common issue: Traders with fluctuating cash and digital turnover misjudge presumptive eligibility under Section 44AD and bunch stock or investment gains into a single year, spiking the slab.
How we handle it: Confirm the 44AD turnover and digital-receipt conditions, maintain a clean turnover record, and stagger disposals so capital gains use each year's exemption and lower slabs.

Capital gainsRetail & Trading

Capital-gains harvesting keeps LTCG within the annual exemption

Issue: An investor with a large listed-equity portfolio faced a bunched long-term capital gain in one year, pushing gains well past the annual Section 112A exemption.
Approach: Reviewed holding periods, staggered redemptions across financial years and used the annual LTCG exemption each year while realigning the portfolio.
Outcome: The realised long-term gains were kept within the exemption threshold across two years, deferring and reducing the concessional-rate tax lawfully.
Presumptive taxationRetail & Trading

Presumptive scheme simplifies compliance for a small trader

Issue: A {{area_name}} trader with turnover under the presumptive limit was maintaining detailed books and paying for a full audit unnecessarily.
Approach: Assessed eligibility under Section 44AD, confirmed the digital-turnover conditions, and shifted the client to presumptive filing on ITR-4 with proper turnover records.
Outcome: Compliance cost dropped, audit was avoided lawfully, and the client's declared income met the presumptive percentage with a clean filing.
HUF planningRetail & Trading

HUF and family planning spreads income for a business family

Issue: A family business routed all rental and investment income through one individual, bunching it at the highest slab.
Approach: Reviewed the feasibility of a Hindu Undivided Family for genuine family assets, allocated qualifying income streams to the HUF, and set up separate PAN and returns.
Outcome: Family income was distributed across two assessees lawfully, using each basic exemption and lower slabs, with clean documentation of the HUF's assets.
Regime selectionIT Services

Old-vs-new regime review saves a salaried professional Rs.48,000

Issue: A salaried IT professional with a home loan and Section 80C investments had let the employer default to the new regime, losing the interest and 80C deductions that suited their profile.
Approach: Modelled both regimes on the actual salary, Section 24(b) interest of Rs.2 lakh and Section 80C of Rs.1.5 lakh, established the old regime was materially better, and filed Form 12BB with the employer plus the return under the old regime.
Outcome: The taxpayer's annual liability fell by about Rs.48,000 and monthly TDS was corrected so cash flow improved from the next payroll cycle.

Common Questions

IT Advisory FAQ — Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam

Common questions from Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

An exemption (e.g., HRA under Section 10(13A), agricultural income under Section 10(1)) reduces gross total income — the receipt itself is not taxable. A deduction (e.g., Section 80C, 80D, 24(b)) reduces total income after computing income under the five heads. Exemptions are head-specific; deductions are claimed from gross total income under Chapter VI-A.
Section 195 mandates TDS at the rate in force on any sum chargeable to tax payable to a non-resident. Where a beneficial DTAA rate exists and the payee furnishes (a) TRC under Section 90(4), (b) Form 10F and (c) PAN (or Section 206AA exception via furnishing prescribed details), the lower DTAA rate applies. Where the payment is not chargeable to tax in India, the payer files Form 15CA Part D after a CA Form 15CB certificate where required.
Yes, we regularly take over part-completed Income Tax Advisory work. Share what has been done so far on WhatsApp 9566-068-468 and we will review it, point out anything that needs correcting, and continue from where you are.
The New Regime under Section 115BAC is the default from AY 2024-25. It offers lower slab rates but disallows most Chapter VI-A deductions (80C, 80D, 80G, HRA, LTA, home loan interest on self-occupied property). Choose Old Regime only if total deductions plus exemptions exceed roughly ₹3.75 lakh to ₹4.25 lakh — depending on income band. Salaried persons may switch every year by indicating in the ITR; business/profession assessees must file Form 10-IEA and the choice once exited is final except for one re-entry.
Section 54EC allows exemption on LTCG arising from sale of land or building if invested in NHAI/REC/IRFC/PFC bonds within 6 months. The maximum investment per financial year is ₹50 lakh (and ₹50 lakh across two FYs for the same transfer is also capped at ₹50 lakh aggregate per Finance Act 2018 amendment). Lock-in is 5 years; premature transfer/loan against the bonds reverses the exemption.
Our IT Advisory fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
Section 44AE applies to a person owning not more than 10 goods carriages at any time during the year. Presumed income is ₹1,000 per ton per month for heavy goods vehicle (above 12,000 kg gross vehicle weight) and ₹7,500 per month for other goods vehicles. Computation is per vehicle per month of ownership. No turnover ceiling applies.
Section 24(b) allows deduction of interest on borrowed capital for acquisition/construction/repair/renewal of house property. For self-occupied property the cap is ₹2,00,000 per year (₹30,000 for repair-renewal); for let-out property the entire interest is deductible against rental income. Pre-construction interest is allowed in 5 equal annual instalments starting from the year of completion. Available only under Old Regime (let-out property allowed in New Regime as well).
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, IT Advisory for Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
No. Section 56(2)(x) exempts gifts from relatives — defined to include spouse, brother/sister of self/spouse, brother/sister of either parent, lineal ascendants/descendants of self/spouse, and spouse of any of these persons. Gifts on occasion of marriage, by will, in contemplation of death, from a local authority, registered trust under Section 12A/12AA/12AB are also exempt.
Every Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) individual/HUF holding any foreign asset, foreign bank account, foreign securities, beneficial interest, signing authority abroad, or having received foreign income in the previous year must disclose the same in Schedule FA of ITR-2/ITR-3. Disclosure period is the calendar year (1 January to 31 December) preceding the relevant accounting period. Non-residents and RNORs are not required to file Schedule FA.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Lakshmi Nagar Valasaravakkam clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
Per Section 44AD(4), once an assessee opts in to 44AD and then declares profit lower than 8%/6% in any subsequent year (within 5 years), they are barred from opting in to 44AD for the next 5 assessment years and must maintain books under Section 44AA and audit under Section 44AB if income exceeds the basic exemption limit.
Yes. From 1 April 2023, Section 115BBJ taxes net winnings from online games at a flat 30% (no deduction, no exemption limit, no slab benefit). Section 194BA mandates TDS at 30% on net winnings at the time of withdrawal or year-end. Loss in one game cannot be set off against winnings in another except as netted within the user account during the same financial year per Rule 133.
Per Finance Act 2021, interest on employee's contribution to EPF/recognised PF exceeding ₹2,50,000 in a financial year (₹5,00,000 if the employer does not contribute) is taxable as 'Income from Other Sources' under Rule 9D. The contribution principal stays exempt and Section 10(11)/(12) on accrued balance up to threshold remains intact.
Section 9(1) deems income to accrue in India where the source is in India — business connection (9(1)(i)), salary for services rendered in India (9(1)(ii)), interest paid by Government/resident (9(1)(v)), royalty paid by Government/resident (9(1)(vi)) and FTS paid by Government/resident (9(1)(vii)). The Finance Act 2020 introduced significant economic presence (SEP) under Explanation 2A to 9(1)(i) for digital businesses without physical presence.
