government and also I have done my summer internship in the company


which is related to the taxation that is Idemitsu Lube India Pvt. Ltd.

Service Tax :

Service means any activity carried out by a person for another person
for consideration and includes a declared service.
But 1) It must be activity.
2) It must be done by a person for another person.
3) There must be a consideration for provision of service.
4) Includes a declared service.

Excise Duty :

An excise duty is a type of tax charged on goods produced within the


country (as opposed to customs duties, charged on goods from outside the
country).
Source of revenue for government to provide public service.
 For the liability of duty of central excise to arise, the item in question
should not only be goods it should also be excisable goods.
 Goods become excisable if and only if it is mentioned in the Central
Excise Tariff Act 1985.
 Goods must be movable. Duty cannot be levied on immovable property
.Central excise duty cannot imposed on plant and machinery.
 Goods must be marketable .The goods must be known in the market
and must be capable of being bought or sold.
 The liability to pay tax excise duty is always on the manufacturer or
producer of goods.
There are three types of parties who can be considered as manufacturers:
1. Those who personally manufacture the goods in question
2. Those who get the goods manufactured by employing hired labour.
3. Those who get the goods manufactured by other parties.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This particular study about Work Stress Management is restricted


within the organization. The study is conducted on the employees of the
organization. This is not because of non-availability of resources but the
nature of the study itself restricts it. It studies the existence or non – existence
of stress among the employees in the organization and identifies the factors
which are contributing for stress (If any). It also provides the various steps
adopted by the organization for managing the work stress of the employees,
which can be used as future reference for decision-making and policy making
with regard to the employees. This study reveals the morale of the
employees.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

 The objective of the study is to identify the existence of work stress


in the organization.
 If YES, then to study the factors causing stress among the employees
 To study the impact and usefulness of Work Stress Management and
also to suggest measures for coping with stress.

History of Company

TAXATION

On June 20, 1911, Idemitsu Shokai, the predecessor of Idemitsu Kosan, took
its first steps in the oil sales business at the trading port of Moji in Kitakyushu,
Japan. In 1940 Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. Incorporated.

Manufacture and Sale of Lubricants from Idemitsu Group Plant in India


Begins - Independent Distribution and Sales Network of Genuine Oil served by
Idemitsu Group Plant Developed for Motorcycle and Automobile Dealers.

On dated 30th Oct., 2013 Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chiyod-
ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Takashi Tsukioka) announces that its
wholly owned subsidiary Idemitsu Lube India Pvt Ltd. (head office: New Delhi,
India; representative: Takeyoshi Miki) today has begun sale of genuine oil to
dealers of Japanese motorcycles and automobiles, following completion of
lubricants plant in August 2013.

Demand for lubricants in India in fiscal 2012 has increased with the advance
of Japanese motorcycle and automobile makers into the market accompanying
India's motorization. India already has the world's third-highest level of lubricant
demand, after China and the United States.

By fiscal 2021, India's vehicle production is forecast to increase further to


23 million motorcycles/year and 11 million automobiles/year, and the nation's
lubricant demand also is projected to expand, to 1.5 times its current level or more.

Today marks the start of production at the newly constructed lubricant


blending plant the only one in India affiliated with a Japanese company of products
that until now had been manufactured under a genuine oil technology licensing
contract and the beginning of selling genuine oil to dealers of Japanese
motorcycles and automobiles. This plant is intended to manufacture engine oils for
motorcycles and automobiles, which are expected to see particular growth in
demand in the future, and to supply high performance lubricants.

By building independent networks from manufacture through distribution


and sale of its own products with the construction of its own plant, Idemitsu Lube
India will be able to deliver smooth and attentive services. Plans call for taking
advantage of the new plant to further strengthen lubricant sales in India, aiming for
sales volume of 70,000 kℓ and net sales of 11 billion rupees. It may be approx. 20
billion yen in 2018.

 Company Structure:
This is first plant in India. And second in Japan of Idemitsu.

INTRODUCTION ON TAXTION IN INIDA

Taxation is the imposition of financial charges or other levies, upon a


taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by Central and a state such that failure
to pay is punishable by law. It is the most pervasive and the strongest of all the
powers of the government. Taxes are the lifeblood of the government, without
which, it cannot subsist.
Taxes in India are levied by the Central Government and the state
governments. Some minor taxes are also levied by the local authorities such as the
Municipality.
Central Government levies taxes on income (except tax on agricultural
income), customs duties, central excise and service tax. Value Added Tax (VAT),
(Sales tax in States where VAT is not yet in force), stamp duty, State Excise, land
revenue and tax on professions are levied by the State Governments. Local bodies
are empowered to levy tax on properties, octroi and for utilities like water supply,
drainage etc.
Since April 01, 2005, most of the State Governments in India have replaced
sales tax with VAT.

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 11


TAXATION

The main purpose of taxation is to accumulate funds for the functioning of


the government machineries. No government in the world can run its
administrative office without funds and it has no such system incorporated in itself
to generate profit from its functioning. The government’s ability to serve the
people depends upon the taxes that are collected. Taxes are indispensable in the
government operation and without it, the government will be paralyzed.
Taxation has four main purposes or effects:
1. Revenue 2. Redistribution
3. Repricing 4. Representation
Revenue: - The taxes raise money to spend on armies, roads, schools and
hospitals, and on more indirect government functions like market regulation
or legal systems.
Redistribution: - This refers to the transferring wealth from the richer
sections of society to poorer sections.
Repricing: - Taxes are levied to address externalities; for example, tobacco is
taxed to discourage smoking, and a carbon tax discourages use of carbon-
based fuels.
Representation: - As what goes with the slogan "no taxation without
representation”, it implies that: ruler’s tax citizens and citizens demand
accountability from their rulers as the other part of this bargain.

The government of India imposes an income tax on taxable income of


individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), companies, firms, co-
operative societies and trusts (identified as body of individuals and

An income tax is a tax levied on the income of individuals or businesses

with varying degrees of tax incidence. Income taxation can
be progressive, proportional, or regressive. When the tax is levied on the
income of companies, it is often called corporate, corporate income tax,
or profit tax. Individual income taxes often tax the total income of the
individual (with some deductions permitted), while corporate income
taxes often tax net income (the difference between gross receipts,
expenses, and additional write-offs). Various systems define income
differently, and often allow notional reductions of income (such as a
reduction based on number of children supported).

Charge to Income-tax:
Every Person whose total income exceeds the maximum amount which is not
chargeable to the income tax is an assesse, and shall be chargeable to the income
tax at the rate or rates prescribed under the finance act for the relevant assessment

HEAD OF INCOMES

Income tax is payable by an assessee on his total income from all the source
of income. Each source has its own unique features and requires specific treatment
for correct computation of income from that particular source. Naturally, rules and
method for computation of income from each such source are different according
to the nature of the source.
CLASSIFICATION OF INCOMES

Section 14 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 deals with the classification of
income under five heads of income. The five heads of income listed in S 14 are:
1) Income under the head salaries (Section 15 – 17)
2) Income from house property (Section 22 – 27)
3) Profits and gains from business or profession (Section 28 – 44)
4) Capital gains (Section 45 – 55)
5) Income from other sources (Section 56 – 59)

1) INCOME FROM SALARY


Among the five heads of income listed by S.14, “Salaries” is the first and
most important head of income. The concept of “Salaries” is very wide and
includes not only the salary in common parlance but also various other receipts,
gifts, perquisites and benefits.
The lesson is divided into various sections dealing with the concept of salary
income and its characteristics, which define as to what constitutes “salaries”
followed by the incomes falling under this head the computation of basic salary,
types of allowances and perquisites, valuation of the perquisites, various income
tax provisions for computing taxable value of allowances etc. and their detailed
descriptions along with the applicable legal provisions of income tax.

TAXATION

Meaning

Salary, in simple words, means remuneration of a person in any form, which


he has received from his employer for rendering personal services to him under an
expressed or implied contract of employment or service.
But receipts for all kinds of services rendered cannot be taxed as salary. The
remuneration received by professionals like doctors, architects, lawyers etc. cannot
be covered under salary since it is not received from their employers but from their
clients. So, it is taxed under business or profession head. This implies the presence
of the following norms or essential characteristics to determine whether any
particular income is to be taxed under the head ‘’Salaries’’ or not.

Essential Characteristics of Salaries

 Employer-Employee Relationship:
Assessee should receive the income from his employer only. Any income
which is received by assessee (employee) from his employer should be taxable
under section. If income not received from his employer then such employer is not
taxable under this head.
 Salary to partner by firm:
If partner received salary from the firm this salary is not taxable under this
head but taxable head from business.
 Received salary form two or more employer:
If an assessee received salary from two or more employer then income
received from all employer is taxable under this head.
 Real intention to pay:
Salary income must be real and not fictitious. There must exist an intention/
obligation to pay and receive salary.
 Salary or Bonus to Director:
If Director received any salary / bonus / commission as an employee is
taxable under this head.
 Salary received by individuals only:
Salary is a compensation for personalized services, which can obviously be
rendered by a normal human being and not a body corporate. Salary income is
taxable in the hands of individuals only. No other type of person such as a firm or
HUF, companies can earn salary income.
PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 19
TAXATION

 Salary:
The salary earned of current year or arrear salary of last year or salary
received in advance are taxable but the salary on which tax is paid in previous year
such salary should not be added in current year Because he cannot paid tax twice
on same income.

Key Points

 Basic Salary:

Basic salary is fixed as per their respective terms of employment. But some
employee received their salary on graded system. Under the graded system, apart
from starting basic, salary annual increments are pre-fixed. Increment is given
thereafter till next date of increment or the date when he is promoted and placed in
other grade.
 Fees, Commission and Bonus :
Any fees, commission or bonus or incentive paid or payable to an employee
by an employer is fully taxable and is included in salary.
 Arrears of salary:
Arrears of salary are taxed on receipt basis, if the same has not been taxed
earlier. However, relief u/s 89 will be allowed in respect of such arrears.
 Advance Salary:
Advance Salary is taxable on receipt basis in the year of receipt; however
there will be no tax in the year of actual accrual of such salary again. Further
assessee shall be entitled to relief u/s 89 in respect of advance salary. Loan to
employee is not treated as advance of salary and the same is not taxable.
 Gratuity - Section 10(10):
Gratuity is a lump-sum payment to reward an employee for his past services,
on his retirement or termination. Sec .10 gives tax of treatment of gratuity as
under-
1. Amount received as gratuity on termination as per service rules is Fully
EXEMPT in case of employees of Central or State governments or local
authorities.

2. In case of employees covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 20


TAXATION

EXEMPTED amount would be lowest of the following:


a) Amount of gratuity received,
b) Rs 10,00,000/-
c) 15 days’ salary for every completed or part thereof in excess of six
month year of service computed on the basis of last salary drawn and
denominator 26. i.e.

15 X Completed year of service X Last Drawn Salary

26
3. In case of employees not covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
EXEMPTED amount would be lowest of the following:

a) Amount of gratuity received,


b) Rs 10,00,000/-
c) Half month’s salary for every completed year of service in excess of six
months (ignoring the fraction) computed on the basis of average salary of last 10
months preceding the retirement. i.e.

1/2 X Average Salary for last 10 months X Completed year of service.

 Pension - Section 10(10A) :


On retirement of an employer, the employer makes a regular payment to the
employee as a reward for his past services. The regular payment so made at
monthly or annual intervals is called pension. Some employers allow an employee
to forgo a portion of pension in lieu of lump sum amount. This is known as
commutation of pension.

Tax treatment of these two kinds of pension is as under:

A. Uncommuted Pension : -
Uncommuted pension is monthly / Quarterly / some other interval
periodical pension. This pension for taxable all employees therefore whether
is Govt. employee of Non-Govt. employee it is not material. Such pension
directly added in salary.

B. Commuted Pension : -
This amount paid by assessee in Lump sum. It depends upon type of
assessee.

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 21


TAXATION

a) If he is Government employee full amount of commuted pension


exempted from tax hence no amount of commuted pension is added in
income from salary.
b) Non-Government employee part of commuted pension is exempted and
part is taxable.
i) If he received Gratuity then 1/3 of full pension is exempted
= 1/3 X Full Pension.
ii) If he is not received Gratuity then ½ of full pension is exempted.
= ½ X Full Pension.

any other place.

 Wholly or partly tax-free Allowances:


Following allowance are wholly or partly tax -free. Some of the exemptions
are conditional. Most of the conditions and monetary limits, though prescribed in
rules are incorporated in brief to make the subject comprehensive. Brief
description of these allowances is as follows:
a) Fixed Medical Allowances
Fixed Medical Expenses are taxable but reimbursement of medical expenses
is however exempt upto Rs 25,000
b) Transport Allowance- Sec. 10(14)
Any allowance or benefit given to meet the expense wholly and necessarily

presenting the proof in this regard.
Under Rule 2BB, Transport or conveyance allowance paid to meet
conveyance expenses of the employee from place of residence to place of work and
back is exempt upto Rs 1600 per month.
c) Education Allowance:
Education Allowance given to meet the education expenses of the
employee’s is taxable in hands of employee. However, under rule 2BB a sum of
Rs100 per month per child subject to maximum of 2 children is allowed as
exemption from total education allowance received by the employee in a given
year. If the children of the employee are residing in a hostel, an additional
exemption of Rs 300 per month per child subject to maximum of 2children is made
available to the employee. Therefore if the employee has 2 children and who are

(II) INCOME FROM HOUSE PROPERTIES

Income from house Property” is significantly different than the other heads
of income unlike the other heads as it covers not only the actual income but also
the notional income.
 Basis of Charges – (Sec. 22)
The owner of the house property is taxed on the income from the house
property. Income from the house property is ascertained on the basis of annual
value. According to section 22, the annual value of property consisting of any
buildings or lands appurtenant thereto, of which assessee is the owner, other than
such portions of such property as he may occupy for the purpose of any nosiness or
profession, shall be chargeable to tax under this head, following conditions are
satisfied namely –
(a) Income chargeable to tax is ascertained on the basis of annual value of
property consisting of Buildings and Lands attached thereto of which
assessee is the owner. This means any income from vacant land or open
plot is not to be charges under the head Income form House Property.
(b) The legal owner of the house property is charged to tax in respect of
income from House Property.
(c) Property may be either let out or occupied by the assessee himself i.e.
Self-occupied. Property may be partly self-occupied or partly let out. In
both the circumstance, income is ascertaining on the basis of annual
value. However, the mode of ascertaining the income from house
property is different in case of property which is either let out or self-
occupied.
(d) Certain deductions, as discussed hereinafter under this topic, are allowed
form annual value in order to arrive at the taxable income under this
head. If such deductions are in excess of the annual value, the resultant
figure is termed as loss from house property. Such loss can be set off
against the income under other heads.
Building Defined:
PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 26
TAXATION

The word “Building” id not defined under the Act. Many courts have
given judicial interpretation of the word, building as follows:
 Building is an enclosure of the brick or stone work covered by roof.
 Building is an enclosure which may even consist of mud walls.
Building may be occupied or intended for residence, Office use,
storage, warehousing etc.
Land Appartenant There To:
It is the land occupied along with a building. It includes approach
roads, compounds, courtyards Kitchen garden, Car parking space, Play
grounds. Cattle Shed etc.
 Annual Value of House Property( Sec. 23)
Since, there is no definitive meaning of the term annual value defined in Sec
2(22) “as the annual value determined under Sec. 23, meaning of annual value has
to be seen in common parlance.
‘Annual value’ may be defined as the inherent capacity of a property to earn
income or the amount for which the property may reasonably be expected to be let
out from year to year. It is not the actual rent but the capacity to fetch rent that is
important. It implies that a property need not necessarily be let out.
The annual value of a property will, therefore, depend upon the use of the
property- self occupied, let out or partly vacant etc. The provisions of section 23
for determination of annual value are given below:
A) The sum for which is property might reasonably be expected to let our from
year to year; i.e. Reasonable Letting Value. It can be ascertained having
regards to Fair Rent Municipal Rateable Value of the house property.
The Fair Rent can be ascertained by taking the following factors into
consideration:
a) Locality in which property is situated:
b) Rent Payable for similar property in the same or similar locality:
c) Owner’s obligations discharged by the tenant:
d) Tenant’s obligations discharged by the owner:
e) If Rent Control Act is applicable, the standard rent as fixed by the Rent
Controller.
After taking into consideration the above factors relating to the house
property the fair rent is determined.
The Municipal Rateable Value is one of the important tests to be taken
into consideration for determining the annual value. Municipal Rateable
Value is being ascertained by the local authorities such as Municipal

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 27


TAXATION

Corporation or Municipal Council or Grampanchayat. On the basis of the


Municipal rateable value, local taxes are levied by the existing local
authorities. In big city like Bombay, local taxes are levied at a specified
percentage after arriving at net reteable value. This net rateable value is
determined after allowing 10 % of Gross Rateable value, as deduction. We
are required to take gross reteable value into consideration for determining
Annual Value.
Thus, Fair Rent or Municipal rateable value which is greater is taken
as Reasonable Letting Value (Gross Annual Value) u/s 23(1)(a)
B) If the property or part of the property is let out and actual rent received after
excluding unrealised rent and rent pertaining to vacancy period, is more than
Reasonable Letting Value as above, the rent actually received after excluding
unrealised rent and vacancy period is taken as Gross Annual Value u/s 24(1)
(b).
C) If the property or part of the property is let out and actual rent received after
excluding unrealised rent and realized rent and rent pertaining to vacancy
period, is less than the reasonable letting value as above and such a decline
is caused only due to vacancy and not by any other factor (such as property
let out at less than expected rent) such rent received after excluding
unrealised rent and rent pertaining to vacancy period is taken as Gross
Annual Value u/s 23(1) (c).
However if the rent received is lower than reasonable letting value
due to factors other than vacancy, Gross annual value would be Reasonable
letting value as determined u/s 24 (1) (a).
Property may be let out or may be let out or may be occupied by the
assessee himself, i.e. self-occupied. It may also happen that the property is
partly self-occupied and partly let out. In both cases, income is required to
be ascertained on the basis of annual value. However, the mode of
ascertaining the income from house property is different in case of house
property which is either let out or self-occupied. Therefore, we can divide
the computation of taxable income into two groups, i.e.:

A) Income from House Property Let Out and


B) Income from self-occupied House Property

Terms:
1) F.V. - Face value
2) M.V.- Municipal value
PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 28
TAXATION

3) R.L.V. – Reasonable letting value


4) A.R.R. - Actual rent received
5) U.R. – Unrealised rent
6) V.P.R. – Vacancy period rent

sake of convenience.
2. From the gross annual value determined in the manner indicated above,
a deduction is to be made under the first proviso to section 23(1), on
account of local taxes actually paid and borne by the owner during the
previous year. After deducting such amount of local taxes actually paid
during the previous year from the gross annual value, we will be arriving
at Net Annual Value.

(III) INCOME FROM BUSINESS AND PROFESSION

This is one of the most important heads of Income. Under this head we are
required to take into consideration the profits and gains of a business or profession
including vocation carried on by the assessee.
The term business is defined in section 2 (13) “includes ay trade, commerce
or manufacture or any adventure in the nature of trade, commerce or manufacture.”
Though the definition is not exhaustive, it covers all types of occupation carried on
by a person with a view to earn profit. Production of goods from raw material,
buying and selling of goods with the intention to make profit and providing
services to others are different forms of business. The profit earned from these is
chargeable to tax under the head. “Profits and Gains of Business or Profession”. In
simple words, any activity carried on with a view to earn profit is called as
business. It is not necessary to carry on business continuously. Even a single
transaction conducted during the year, with a view to earn profit is business.
Profession means an occupation requiring using intellectual skill or manual
skill or both, e.g. a chartered accountant, a lawyer, an engineer, a doctor. It may be
noted that if these persons are employed by any association and they receive
monthly remuneration by way of salary. It is taxed under the head ‘Income from
salary’ and not as income from business or profession.
Vocation is an activity in which an assessee has developed a special skill
and makes use of such skill for earing income, for example, a singer, a dancer, a
painter, a magician. It may be noted that the persons who are practicing vocation
PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 31

are generally not liable to any action from any organized association. It is not so in
case of a professional person, for example, a doctor is subject to disciplinary action
by the Medical Council of India.

(IV) INCOME FROM CAPITAL GAIN


Capital Gain is a part of the Taxable income. It is not an income in general
sense as Capital Gains is the profit earned on sale of capital asset or an investment.
Capital Gain in fact is brought to tax net by the deeming fiction created u/s 2(24)

Capital Gains the following ingredients should be present
1. The existence of Capital Asset
2. The transfer of such asset and
3. Profit and Gains from Transfer of such asset.
Capital asset is property of any kind held by an assessee, whether fixed or
circulating, movable or immovable, tangible or intangible. Following assets are

Long Term Capital Gain xx

A) FULL VALUE OF CONSIDERATION


Full value consideration means what the transferor receives as
consideration of sale of property / Asset. This value may be in cash or in
kind i.e. in exchange for an asset.
In case of exchange for an asset, the full value of computation of
capital gains shall be the Fair Market Value of the property (Assets) granted
in exchange. Fair Market Value in relation to capital gains means the price
which the property would normally fetch if sold in the open market on the
relevant date.
In case, the full value of consideration is received in installments in
different years, the entire value of consideration shall be the Market value of
property / asset granted in exchange.

B) EXPENSES ON TRANSFER
Expenses on transfer include any expenditure incurred, whether
directly or indirectly for the purpose of transfer like Advertisement
Expenses, Brokerage Expenses, Stamp duty, Registration Fees and Legal
Expenses etc. However, any expense which has been claimed deduction
under any other provision of the Income Tax Act cannot be claimed as a
deduction under this Clouse.
C) COST OF ACQUISITION
Cost of acquisition is the price which the assessee had paid, or the
amount which the assessee as incurred, for acquiring the property / assets.
The expenses incurred at the time of completing the title are a part of the
cost of acquisition.
In cases where the capital assets become the property of assessee in
any of the manners mention below the cost of acquisition shall be deemed to
the cost for which previous owner of the property acquired it :
1) On the Distribution of Assets / Total Partition of HUF
2) Under a Gift or Will
3) By Succession, Inheritance or Devolution
4) On Distribution of Assets on Liquidation of a Company

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 38


TAXATION

Where the cost for which the previous owner of the capital asset
acquired the property cannot be ascertained, the cost of acquisition to the
previous owner shall be the fair market value of the asset on the date on
which the asset became the property of the previous owner. The Interest on
money borrowed for acquiring the capital asset will also form a part of the
cost of Asset.
D) COST OF IMPROVEMENT
All Capital Expenditures incurred in making any additions or
alterations to the Capital Asset by the Assessee after it became his property
or alterations to the capital asset by the assessee after it became his property
shall be deductible as the Cost of Improvement. If the Asset was transferred
to the assessee under the cases specified immediately above, the capital
expenditure incurred by the previous owner shall also be treated as cost of
improvement. However, the Cost of Improvement does not include any
capital asset which is deductible in computing the chargeable under head-
“Income from House Property”, Profits or Gains of Business or Profession”,
or “Income from Other Sources”. Only the Capital Expenses are considered
as a cost of Improvement and routine expenses on Repairs and Maintenance
do not form part of cost of improvement.
For the purpose of Computation of Long Term Capital Gain,
Indexation using the Cost Inflation Index shall be done to the Cost of
Acquisition &amp; Cost of Improvement and the resultant figure shall be the
Indexed Cost of Acquisition &amp; Indexed Cost of Improvement for the
purpose of computation of LTCG

Cost Inflation Index of the Year of Sale


Indexed Cost = Actual Cost X
Cost Inflation Index of the Year of Purchase

The Assessee also has the option of not opting for Indexation and the
Long Term Capital Gain Tax Rate in this case shall be 10%

(V) INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCE

Where any income, profit or gains includible in the total income of an


assessee, cannot be included under any of the other heads, it would be chargeable
under the head Income from other sources. Hence, this head is the residuary head
of income [Section 56(1)]

INTRODUCTION TO STRESS

INTRODUCTION

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 52


TAXATION

Stress is a part of day-to-day living of every individual. The college


students may experience stress in meeting the academic demands, people on the
job, business men may suffer stress to reach office in time and to complete the
projects on time and even the house hole ladies may experience stress in
managing the home affairs and to look for the maid servant. The reasons for the
stress differ from person to person. The stress people experience should not be
necessarily treated as harmful. An optimum amount of stress can always act as
an energizer or motivator and propel people to apply the efforts and complete the
work. But a high level of stress can be serious threat to the personality trails of
the individual and can cause physiological and social problems.

What is Stress?
Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing
environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative
feelings.

How can I eliminate stress from my life?

As we have seen, positive stress adds anticipation and excitement to life, and we all
thrive under a certain amount of stress. Deadlines, competitions, confrontations, and
even our frustrations and sorrows add depth and enrichment to our lives. Our goal is not
to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage it and how to use it to help us.
Insufficient stress acts as a depressant and may leave us feeling bored or dejected; on
the other hand, excessive stress may leave us feeling "tied up in knots." What we

We generally believe that the stress is caused by the external events and
the dynamics of the environment. But we need to emphasis the fact that the Stress is
caused by our reaction to the external environment. The manner in which we perceive

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 53


TAXATION

and understand the changes or the particular event creates same event can bring
happiness and cause stress in two different people depending upon how they react to it.
When students are asked to prepare a presentation, some may take it to the other
students may be perturbed by it for the fear of his weakness. So, Stress is our reaction
to external events and it can be positive or negative depending upon how we react, it is
the general wear and tear of the body machine that takes place due to extra demands
put on it.

Stress is the biggest killer in the Western world and the cause of huge

losses of production in industry. But the techniques t o combat stress and

Increase well being in your daily life are within your reach –if you know how to go
about them.

REPLACING NEGATIVE WITH POSITIVE EMOTIONS


The Successful Stress Management course gives you guidance on the changes
necessary to overcome and reject negative emotions, and to replace them with positive
ones that give you true quality of life. Your course will enable you to consider the causes
and effects of the stress in today’s world, and help you plan strategies for managing and
controlling stress to develop a healthy sense of self-esteem. This is a much-needed
course in today’s world of increasing anxieties, and is invaluable whether you want to
benefits yourself or make a career out of giving guidance to others.

We can define stress as “body’s non-specific response to any demand made on


it”. Stress is not by definition synonymous with nervous tension or

anxiety. On one side stress provides the means to express talents and energies and
pursue happiness on the other side it can also cause exhaustion and illness, either
physical or psychological.

Definition of stress
 According to the father of stress of research, Hans Selye, “stress is the spice of life;
the absence of stress in death.

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 54


TAXATION

 Stress is defined as an adaptive response to an external situation that results in


physical, psychological and behavioral deviations for organizational participants.
 Stress is understood as an individual reaction to a disturbing factor in the
environment.
 Ivancevich and matteson define stress simply as “ the interaction of the individual
with the environment.

Remember that our main definition of stress is that stress is a condition or feeling
experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social
resources the individual is able to mobilize. With this in mind, we can now look at how
you can manage all of the stresses that your career will bring From our definition, you
can see that there are three major approaches that we can use to manage stress;

 Action-oriented: In which we seek to confront the problem causing the stress, often
changing the environment or the situation;
 Emotionally-oriented: In which we do not have the power to change the situation, but we
can manage stress by changing our interpretation of the situation and the way we feel
about it; and
 Acceptance-oriented: Where something has happened over which we have no power
and no emotional control, and where our focus is on surviving the stress.

Action-oriented approaches – best where you have some control


To be able to take an action-oriented approach, we must have some power in the
situation. If we do, then action-oriented approaches are some of the most satisfying and
rewarding ways of managing stress. These are techniques that we can use to manage
and overcome stressful situations. Changing them to our advantage.
The early selections on the title bar above focus on action-oriented coping.
These selections introduce skills that help you to manage your job actively, work well
with your boss and co-workers, and change your surroundings to eliminate
environmental stress.

Emotionally-oriented approaches-subtle but effective

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 55


TAXATION

If you do not have the power o change a situation, then you may be able to
improve things by changing he way you look at it, and feel about it, by using an
emotionally oriented approach. These are often less attractive than action-oriented
approaches in that the stresses can recur time and again; however, they are useful and
effective in their place. The section on Reducing Stress With Rational Thinking explains
powerful techniques for getting another perspective on difficult situations.

Acceptance-oriented approaches-when there’s no valid alternative…


Sometimes, we have so little power in a situation that it is all we can do to survive
it. This is the case, for example, when loved-ones die. In these situations, often the first
stage of coping with the stress is to accept one’s lack of power. The section on Building
Defenses Against Stress looks at building the buffers against stress that helps you
through these difficult periods. Arguably, the section on Useful Relaxation Techniques
also fails in to this category.

These different approaches to stress management address our definition of


stress indifferent ways: the action-oriented techniques help us to manage the

demands upon us and increase the resources we can mobilize; the emotionally oriented
techniques help us to adjustor perceptions of the situation; and the acceptance-oriented
techniques help us survive the situations that we genuinely cannot change.
took the relationship between stress and industry very seriously.

Levels of Stress

Symptoms of Stress

a while . The person becomes irritable and moody.

UNDERSTADING STRESS
Three potential sources of stress:
 Environmental Factors
 Organizational Factors
 Individual Factors

Environmental Factors:
Economic uncertainty is created when there is a change in the business cycle.
That is when people become anxious about their security. This uncertainty not only
affects the stress level of the organization but also to design of the organisation. By the
coming up to the new innovations in the field of technology
like computers, robotics, automation etc. It has become a threat to many people, which
causes stress. This type of uncertainty is called Technology Uncertainty.
Organizational Factors:
There is no storage of factors within the organization that can cause stress.
These are categorized into:
 Task Demands
 Role Demands
 Interpersonal demands
 Organizational Demands
 Organizational Leadership
 Organization’s Life Stage

PRAMOD RAM UJAGAR TIWARI SAKET INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT 59


TAXATION

Task Demands: Task demands are factors related to a person’s job. They include the
design of the individual’s job (autonomy, task variety, degree of automation). Working
conditions, and the physical work layout. Working in an overcrowded room or in a visible
location where interruptions are constant can increase anxiety and stress
Interpersonal Demands: Interpersonal demands are pressures created by other
employees. Lack of social support from colleagues and poor interpersonal relationships
can cause considerable stress, especially among employees with a high social need.
Organizational Structure: Organizational Structure defines the level of differentiation in
the organization, the degree of rules and regulations, and where decisions are made.
