Gifts made between spouses and to their minor children attract the provisions of Section 64.

All your major children can help you save your income tax. You can freely gift (under irrevocable transfer) money to your major children without attracting the payment of tax. if any income, arising from these investments in years to come will be taxed in the hands of your major children.

If you have fixed deposits let us say of Rs.10 lakh and you have a major son as well as a major son as well as a major daughter then it makes sense to gift away Rs.5,00,000 to each of them.

First thing first

A duck walks into a feed store and asks, "Got any duck feed?"
The clerk tells him, "No, we don't have a market for it so we don't carry it."
The duck says, "Okay," and leaves.
The next day, the duck again walks in to the feed store and asks, "Got any duck feed?" Again the clerk says no and the duck leaves.
Next day, the duck once again walks in, and asks,"Got any duck feed?"
The clerk says, "I've told you twice, we don't have duck feed, we've never had duck feed and we never will have duck feed. If you ask me again,I'll nail your feet to the floor." The duck leaves.
The next day, the duck walks in and asks, "Got any nails?"
"No."
"Got any duck feed?"

Glorified Audit Practices at PWC

Five audit firms of Price Waterhouse India have admitted to the US markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that deficiencies in their auditing process were not restricted to Satyam Computer , but extended to other companies audited by them in India as well.

This disclosure by PW India is in two documents released by the SEC on April 5 while concluding its findings on the Satyam accounting fraud case. For five years, between 2004 and 2009, B Ramalinga Raju, disgraced founder and former chairman of Satyam, booked fictitious revenues and inflated bank balances, right under the noses of the auditors from PW India. The main auditing practice in which the SEC found PW India auditors to be lax relates to not directly confirming cash balances with banks, but instead relying on documents supplied by the company.

Satyam overstated its cash balances with banks by nearly $1 billion without being detected by PW India's auditors. "Respondents failed to exercise appropriate professional scepticism," the SEC said. After the Satyam fraud was unearthed, PW India reviewed its other companies for similar deviations, according to disclosures made by the audit firm to the SEC. It is not known how many clients PW India audited or whether it found similar deviations. PW India declined to participate in the story.

Instead, a PW India spokeswoman referred to a press release issued by the audit firm in the aftermath of the SEC findings. In the release, PW India said it "neither admits nor denies the US regulators' findings", while agreeing to pay the $7.5-million penalty demand raised against it. In a related development, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) - the Indian accounting regulator that has largely been a bystander in the whole matter - has sent notices to PW India audit firms. "Price Waterhouse has paid the fine as a firm," says G Ramaswamy , president of ICAI.

"So, we have asked all PW firms to explain the order." Under the ICAI Act, a firm doesn't register with the institute, its partners do. The ICAI, therefore, can initiate action only against the partners , not against the firm that employs them. The two PW India partners who had approved Satyam's cooked books, Srinivas Talluri and Subramani Gopalakrishnan, are in jail.

Taxablity Exemption of Provident Funds

There are 3 types of PF schemes provided by the employer, namely Statutory PF, Recognised PF and Unrecognised PF.
However, an employee may also contribute to the Public Provident Fund scheme.

Statutory PF:
This fund set up under Provident Fund Act, 1925 is mainly meant for Govt and semi Govt employees, university/educational institutions etc.
Taxability:
Employee’s contribution: eligible for rebate u/s 80 C.
Employer’s contribution: Fully exempt from tax.
Interest on PF: fully exempt from tax
Repayment: fully exempt from tax u/s10 (11)

Recognised PF:
It is a scheme to which the Employee’s Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions
Act, 1952 applies. According to this Act, any establishment, which employs 20 or more persons, is obligated to register under the Act and start a PF scheme for the employees in the organisation. Such scheme has to be approved by the Provident Fund Commissioner as well as the Commissioner of the Income Tax.

Taxability:
Employee’s contribution: Deduction u/s 80C is available
Employer’s contribution: exempt up to 12% of salary, excess of 12% to be included in gross salary.
Interest on PF: exempt u/s 10 up to 9.5% p.a Interest credited in excess of 9.5% to be included in gross salary.
Repayment: exempt u/s 10(12) in the following cases:

Rule 8 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule;

1. In the case of an employee who has rendered continuous service with his employer for a period of 5 years or more, or
2. In the case of an employee whose service has been terminated by reason of ill health of the employee or due to the discontinuance of the employer’s business or other cause beyond the control of the employee.
3. In the case of an employee who obtains employment with another employer who maintains any RPF to which the accumulated balance becoming due and payable is transferred.

In all other cases, where repayment is made, an employee will be liable to be taxed on the earlier exempted amount. Even the employer contribution and interest accumulated on the entire amount shall be taxed to income under the respective heads of income.

Unrecognised PF:
A scheme started by an employer not approved by the Commissioner of Income Tax is called as an URPF.
Taxability:
Employee’s contribution: Deduction u/s 80 C is available.
Employer’s contribution: not taxable at the time of contribution
Interest on employer’s contribution: not taxable at the time of credit
Repayment: Accumulated employee’s contribution is not taxable
Interest on employee’s contribution till date is taxable as income from
Other sources.
Employer’s contribution+ interest on such contribution
is taxable as profit in lieu of salary.

An employee in a government sector need not bother about the PF scheme as in all cases it is a statutory PF and hence exempt from tax. Where as an employee and an employer of a private sector concern have to ensure that their PF scheme is approved by the concerned Income Tax Official to get the eligible exemptions. Needless to say that a recognised PF scheme is the most common and immediate investment that strikes the mind of a middle class salaried person

Tatas bag record deal to modernise Air force bases

The Rs 1,094-crore contract with Tata Power SED involves upgrading 30 airbases to handle next generation fighter aircraft.

A Tata company has won the largest-ever defence contract awarded to an Indian private sector company through a competitive global tender. On March 16, the Ministry of Defence signed a Rs 1,094-crore contract with Tata Power’s Strategic Electronics Division (Tata Power SED) for modernising 30 Indian Air Force (IAF) airbases across the country. Tata Power SED has 42 months to execute this strategically vital contract, officially called Modernization of Airfield Infrastructure, or MAFI.

Starting with the Bathinda airbase in Punjab, Tata Power SED will refurbish and modernise airfield infrastructure so that the IAF can operate its next generation of modern combat aircraft from there. State-of-the-art Air Traffic Management systems will be installed, along with Category-2 airfield lighting systems and hi-tech navigational aids that will permit flying operations at night and in adverse weather.

The 30 IAF airbases that will be modernised under MAFI include eight key airfields along the Sino-Indian border such as Chabua, Tezpur and Hashimara. The IAF has already begun deploying frontline Sukhoi-30MKI fighters to the Tezpur air base in concert with the army’s raising of two new divisions to strengthen defences along the Sino-Indian border.

This will be followed by the MAFI Phase II contract for refurbishing another 28 airbases. The current contract has an option clause, which allows the ministry to invite Tata Power SED to execute the Phase II of MAFI at a pre-determined rate.

The ministry has not yet announced the award of this contract. Approached for comments, Tata Power SED declined comment until an official announcement was made.
