Income Tax: Changes w.e.f. 01-04-2017

The details of major changes that will take effect from 01st April, 2017 is given below:

  1. Limit for payment of Expenses: 

Limit for payment of expenses (both capital and revenue) reduced from Rs.20000 to Rs.10000 per day in aggregate per person.  Capital expenses paid in cash beyond the said limit will not be taken into account for depreciation purposes.  However, the cash payment limit for lorry fright etc. remains the same at Rs.35000.

2. Penalty for receiving amount of Rs. 2 Lakhs or more

     No person shall receive an amount of two lakh rupees or more, by cash (Sec. 269ST)

  • in aggregate from a person in a day; or
  •  in respect of a single transaction; or
  •  in respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion

The penalty for violation of above is to be a sum equal to the amount of such  receipt. The existing provisions (in vogue from 1.6.2016) relating to collection of TCS @ 1% on cash sales exceeding Rs.2 lakhs (Rs.5 lakhs, in the case of jewellery) are deleted. Consequently, there is no need to collect TCS on cash sales exceeding Rs.2 lakhs.  Straight away it will attract equal amount penalty now.

3. Net profit for presumptive taxation cases (below Rs.2 crores turnover cases)

👉 For Non Cash Sales (through Digital, Online, cheque, Bank etc.)  : Net Profit will be taken as 6% of Turnover/Gross Receipt.
👉 For Cash Sales : Net Profit will be taken as 8% of Turnover/Gross Receipt.
4.  Change in tax rate, surcharge for individuals
Tax Exemption limit is Rs.2,50,000/- (same as earlier) –
👉 After that, upto Rs.5 lakh, Tax Rate is 5% (earlier it was 10%).  Tax rebate of maximum Rs.2500 will be allowed, for total income upto Rs.3.50 lakhs(earlier it was Rs.2000 for total income upto Rs.5 Lakhs).
👉 Individuals having total income exceeding Rs.50 lakhs but below Rs.1 crore, are to pay surcharge @ 10% of the tax.  Those having total income exceeding Rs. 1 crore shall continue to pay surcharge @ 15%.
5. Corporate Tax
Corporate tax rate for the account year 2017-18 for companies with annual turnover up to Rs. 50 crores (in the account year 2015-16) is reduced to 25%.  No change in firm tax rate of 30%.
6. Capital Gain in respect of Land & Buildings
  • Periodicity for long term Capital Gain is reduced from 3 years to 2 years.
  • Base year shifted from 01.04.1981 to 01.04.2001 for all assets including Immovable property.

7. TDS on rent by individual who are not subject to tax audit requirements

Payment of rent by Individual or HUF is Rs.50,000 or above in a month, then TDS will be applicable @ 5%. The tax shall be deducted on such income at the time of credit of rent, for the last month of the previous year or the last month of tenancy if the property is vacated during the year, as the case may be, to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier

8. Sec. 80G Eligible Donations

Donations made exceeding Rs.2000 will be not be eligible for deduction under section 80G, unless these are made using modes other than cash.  Consequently, trusts accepting 80G donations may advise their donors to give donations exceeding Rs.2000 vide cheque / RTGS / digital modes.

9. Sale of unquoted shares

If the Consideration for transfer of share of a company (other than quoted share) is less than the Fair Market Value (FMV) of such share determined in accordance with the prescribed manner, the FMV shall be deemed to be the full value of consideration for the purposes of computing income under the head “Capital gains”.

10. Fee for Delayed filing of Return of Income

From financial year 2017-18, if Return is not filed within due date, late fee of Rs.5000 for delay up to 31st December, and Rs. 10000 thereafter.

11. Quoting Aadhar Number in Return of Income

Every person who is eligible to obtain AADHAR number, should quote such number, on or after 1 July 2017, in the Return of income. Furthermore, every person who has been allotted PAN as on 1st July 2017 must intimate the AADHAR number to the Tax Authority, failing which, PAN allotted to such person shall be deemed to be invalid. Please take necessary steps to make changes in Aadhar if your name is not exactly matching with the details in PAN.

12. Modification in object clause in 12AA registered Trust

Where a trust or an institution has been granted registration under section 12AA or has obtained registration at any time under section 12A [as it stood before its amendment by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1996] and, subsequently, it has adopted or undertaken modifications of the objects which do not conform to the conditions of registration, it shall be required to obtain fresh registration by making an application within a period of thirty days from the date of such adoption or modifications of the objects in the prescribed form and manner.

The government proposes to lower the limit of cash transaction to Rs.2,00,000/- from the Rs.3,00,000/- proposed in the Budget, 2017, as a part of 40 amendments to the Finance Bill. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley moved the amendments in Loksabha on 21-03-2017.

Later Revenue Secretary  informed via twitter that, penalty for violation would be a fine equivalent to the amount of the transaction. The penalty would be paid by individuals or establishments receiving the payment.

Other few Amendments in the Finance Bill are:
