Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of house property income
received.
Overview
The basis of calculating income from house property is the annual value. The determination of annual
value of the property under Section 23(1) of IT Act is the higher of the rent received (i.e. rent actually
received or receivable after excluding unrealized rent but before deducting loss due to vacancy) or the
amount of rent for which the property is reasonably expected to be let out. Such Annual Value is derived
after deduction of paid municipal taxes, if any.
In many cases, it is seen many persons receiving House Property Income (above a threshold) have not
filed the return. Some important aspects are:
A taxpayer is liable to file return of income if the Total Income before claiming any deduction
under Chapter VIA exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax even if tax has been
deducted at source or paid by means of Advance Tax or Self-Assessment Tax.
Income under the head House Property, can be assessed on a notional basis if the property is
considered deemed let out.

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of capital gains arising from the
sale of immovable property.
Overview
The capital gain arising on transfer (Section 2(47)) of a capital asset (Section 2 (14) is chargeable to
Capital Gain tax as per Section 45 of the IT Act. Primarily, there are two types of capital gains depending
on the period of holding i.e. Short-term and Long-term Capital Gain. For Long-term Capital Gain, the
asset should be held for more than 36 months. The period has been reduced to 24 Months by the
Finance Act 2017. The method of computation of capital gain is provided in Section 48, read with other
provisions of the IT Act. In general, a transfer of a capital asset is chargeable to Capital Gains unless it
is specifically exempt. Income chargeable under capital gains is computed as below:
Agricultural Land: The most notable exemption from Capital Gains is in respect of agricultural
land. However, land within the jurisdiction of any municipality or within certain specified limits
of a municipality is not covered under such exemption.
Some important aspects are:
A taxpayer is liable to file return of income if the total income including capital gains exceeds
before claiming any deduction under Chapter VIA the maximum amount not chargeable to tax
even if tax has been deducted at source or paid by means of advance tax, self-assessment tax
etc.
Receipt of cash payment of Rs. 20,000/- or more attracts provisions of section 269SS unless
both seller and buyer are agriculturists.

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of transactions in securities.
Overview
The income from transactions in securities may be assessable as business income or capital gains
depending upon the facts of the case. Taxability of transactions depends upon the nature of security,
nature of transaction, period of holding etc.
Transactions in which a contract for the purchase or sale of commodity or scripts is settled
otherwise than by actual delivery are treated as speculative transactions. There are certain
exceptions e.g. eligible transactions in derivatives are not treated as speculative transactions.
In case of a dealer in shares, income is treated as business income.
Long-term capital gain on equity shares, equity oriented mutual funds or units of a business
trust is exempt under section 10(38) provided the transaction is subjected to Securities
Transaction Tax. Short-term capital gain in such cases is chargeable @15%.
Tax is chargeable @20% on other long-term capital gains. However, in case of listed securities,
tax can be paid @10% on gains computed without indexation.
In case of other short-term capital gain, tax is leviable as per the regular income slabs.
A taxpayer is liable to file return of income if the Total Income exceeds the maximum amount not
chargeable to tax even if tax has been deducted at source or paid by means of Advance Tax or Self-
Assessment Tax.

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of business receipts.
Overview
As per section 28(i), the profits and gains of any business are chargeable. In general, all receipts resulting
from business activity are business receipts. Some of these receipts may be unintended or may not
even be directly resulting from the business. Business receipts may be categorised as capital receipt or
revenue receipt. Normally, revenue receipts are taken into consideration for calculating taxable
income. However, section 28 specifies that some receipts are taxable as business receipts even if in the
nature of capital receipts. Some of the examples are as under:-
In many cases it is seen many persons who do substantial receipts in the nature of income from business
or profession (above a threshold) have not filed the return. A taxpayer is liable to file return of income
if the Total Income exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax even if tax has been deducted
at source or paid by means of Advance Tax or Self-Assessment Tax.

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of business transactions.
Overview
Some of the transactions which are in the nature of business purchases or expenditure are covered
here e.g. purchase of liquor, timber, tendu leaves business etc. On this transaction, tax is collectible on
the purchase price payable by the buyer. Logical inference would be that such goods purchased would
have been sold later constituting a business activity. For computation of business income, sections 28
to 43C are applicable. In addition, most of the business transaction involves an element of investment
in the form of initial bid money and working capital.
A taxpayer is liable to file return of income if the Total Income exceeds the maximum amount not
chargeable to tax even if tax has been deducted at source or paid by means of Advance Tax or Self-

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of foreign remittance.
Overview
The liability to tax in the source country generally arises out of “business connection” or through
“Permanent establishment”. As per Explanation 2 to section 9(1), a business connection includes any
business activity carried out through a person who acts on behalf of a non-resident and carries out
specified activities. The concept of Permanent Establishment is one of the most important concepts in
determining the tax implications of cross border transactions. The term Permanent establishment (PE)
postulates existence of a substantial element of an enduring or permanent nature of a foreign
enterprise in another country which can be attributed to a fixed place of business in that country. In
case a DTAA exists, Article 5(2), enumerates various instances of PE. The term PE includes (a) a place of
management (b) a branch (c) an office (d) a factory (e) a workshop (f) a sales outlet (g) a warehouse (h)
a mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry or other place of extraction of natural resources. Business income of
a non-resident will not be taxed in India unless such non-resident has a permanent establishment in
India. If there is no DTAA, income is to be taxed to the extent such income is attributable to business
connection in India.
In case of a person sending large value of outward foreign remittance (Form 15CA), the remitter is
expected to file return of income.
A taxpayer is liable to file return of income if the Total Income exceeds the maximum amount not
chargeable to tax even if tax has been deducted at source or paid by means of Advance Tax or Self-
Assessment Tax.

Whether the taxpayer is liable to file return of income on account of cash withdrawals made.
Overview
In F. Y. 2016-17, reporting of transaction relating to cash withdrawal from a current account has
been introduced as under:-
SFT- 003 –
Cash deposits or cash withdrawals (including through bearer's cheque) aggregating to
fifty lakh rupees or more in a financial year, in or from one or more current account of a
person.
Current accounts with cash withdrawals aggregating to Rs. 50 lakhs or more have been reported
in SFT-003. Current accounts are generally operated by entities engaged in business activities.
Substantial cash withdrawal from a current account indicates business activity. What would be of
interest is deposits made in the account prior to withdrawals and usage of such cash withdrawals.
Deposits in the account are likely to represent turnover of the business. Therefore, in this
verification, the taxpayer is expected to submit response about the credits made in the bank
account reported. In secondary or subsequent verifications, it may be worthwhile to examine the
application of substantial cash withdrawals, applicability of section 40A(3) etc.
Other relevant factors which would determine the nature of cash deposits in an account would
be:-
Taxpayer history.
Taxpayer segment- Nature of business etc.
