People Also Ask — IT Advisory in Mugalivakkam
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.
What is the Section 54EC bond exemption limit?

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...

Is sale of agricultural land taxable?

Rural agricultural land is not a capital asset under Section 2(14) and the gain is fully exempt. Urban agricultural land is a capital asset; LTCG can be exempted under Section 54B if the assessee/HUF reinvests in another agricultural land within two years and used the original land for agriculture for two years preceding the transfer.

Can I deposit unused capital gains in a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS)?

Yes. Where reinvestment under Section 54/54B/54F/54D/54G/54GA cannot be completed before the due date of filing the return under Section 139(1), the unused amount must be deposited in a Capital Gains Account with a notified bank under the CGAS 1988 before that due date. Failure to so deposit causes the unused amount to be taxed as...

How is grandfathering under Section 112A applied?

For listed equity shares and equity MF units acquired before 1 February 2018, the cost of acquisition for LTCG under Section 112A is the higher of (a) actual cost and (b) lower of (i) FMV on 31-01-2018 (highest quoted price) and (ii) full value of consideration. This protects gains accrued up to 31-01-2018 from the...

What is STCG rate on listed equity under Section 111A from 23 July 2024?

Section 111A short-term capital gains on listed equity shares, equity-oriented MFs and units of business trust held for not more than 12 months and where STT is paid attracts tax at 20% from 23 July 2024 (15% prior). Surcharge and cess are additional. Basic exemption shortfall can be set off against 111A gains for resident...

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.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Mugalivakkam

How the local trade mix shapes this — In Mugalivakkam, with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations; the business activity radiating outward from Mugalivakkam Lake and nearby commercial pockets.

Manufacturing & Engineering
Common issue: Owner-managers of small units draw irregular remuneration and mix personal and business investments, missing deductions such as employer NPS under Section 80CCD(2) and depreciation planning.
How we handle it: Structure remuneration and employer NPS within the law, plan capital-asset purchases for depreciation timing, and align the regime choice with the deduction profile each year.
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.

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 — Mugalivakkam

Common questions from Mugalivakkam clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

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 10BE certificate from the donee is now mandatory.
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.

STCL can be set off against STCG or LTCG; LTCL can be set off only against LTCG. Loss must be claimed by filing the return within the Section 139(1) due date (Section 80). Carry-forward is permitted for 8 assessment years under Section 74. Loss from speculation business (Section 73) and specified business under 35AD (Section 73A) follow stricter set-off rules.
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.
You can attempt it, but small errors in Income Tax Advisory often lead to notices, penalties or rejections that cost more to fix than to avoid. For Mugalivakkam clients we get it right the first time, which usually works out cheaper and far less stressful.
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 the Old Regime. Under the New Regime Section 80C is not available except 80CCD(2) employer NPS contribution.
Rural agricultural land is not a capital asset under Section 2(14) and the gain is fully exempt. Urban agricultural land is a capital asset; LTCG can be exempted under Section 54B if the assessee/HUF reinvests in another agricultural land within two years and used the original land for agriculture for two years preceding the transfer.
Yes — we work comfortably in both Tamil and English, which makes explaining Income Tax Advisory to Mugalivakkam clients straightforward. Ask your questions in whichever language you prefer, by call or WhatsApp on 9566-068-468.
Per Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, LTCG on listed equity and equity-oriented mutual funds under Section 112A is exempt up to ₹1,25,000 per year and taxed at 12.5% beyond that. The earlier ₹1 lakh limit and 10% rate applied only up to 22 July 2024. STCG on the same assets under Section 111A is taxed at 20% (raised from 15%) from 23 July 2024.
For listed equity shares and equity MF units acquired before 1 February 2018, the cost of acquisition for LTCG under Section 112A is the higher of (a) actual cost and (b) lower of (i) FMV on 31-01-2018 (highest quoted price) and (ii) full value of consideration. This protects gains accrued up to 31-01-2018 from the 10%/12.5% tax.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Mugalivakkam clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
Per Rule 37BB read with Section 195(6), Form 15CA must be filed for any sum payable to a non-resident chargeable to tax in India. Form 15CB (CA certificate) is required where the remittance exceeds ₹5 lakh in a financial year and the sum is chargeable. Specified payments in the RBI list (LRS personal expenses, gift remittance up to limit, etc.) are exempt from 15CA/15CB.
Where aggregate value of money received without consideration exceeds ₹50,000 in a financial year, the entire amount is taxable as Income from Other Sources. Immovable property received without consideration is taxable if stamp duty value exceeds ₹50,000; if received for consideration, the difference between stamp duty value and consideration is taxable if it exceeds the higher of ₹50,000 or 10% of consideration.
Section 54 applies only when a residential house is sold; Section 54F applies when any other long-term capital asset (shares, land, gold) is sold and net consideration is invested in a residential house. Under 54F the entire net consideration (not merely the gain) must be invested for full exemption — proportionate exemption otherwise. The assessee must not own more than one residential house on the date of transfer (other than the new one). The ₹10 crore investment cap from FY 23-24 applies to 54F as well.
A Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) is taxed on global income. A Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) is taxed on Indian-source income plus business controlled from India / profession set up in India. A Non-Resident is taxed only on Indian-source / received-in-India income. Stay tests under Section 6 — 182 days, or 60 days plus 365 days in 4 preceding years (with carve-outs for citizens leaving for employment / persons of Indian origin visiting India: 182 days). Deemed residency under Section 6(1A) for high-income Indian citizens with no other tax residence.
