\nAnswer:
\nEmployer\u2019s contribution to notified pension scheme qualifies for deduction under Section 80CCD(2).<\/p>\n

The deduction under Section 80CCD(2) would be restricted to \u20b9 30,000 (being 10% of \u20b9 3,00,000), However, an additional deduction of \u20b9 50,000 is available u\/s 80CCD (1B) on payment in excess of 10%. Hence, \u20b9 40,000 qualifies for deduction.<\/p>\n

However, the deduction of employer\u2019s contribution of \u20b9 40,000 to pension scheme would be over and above the deductions which are subject to the limit of \u20b9 1.5 lakhs under Section 80CCE.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nMr. Srivastava, aged 40 years, a salaried employee of Nirja Ltd. was contributing to National Pension Scheme \u20b9 50,000 every year since 2018 and was claiming deduction under section 80CCD. In December 2020, he opted out of the pension scheme and withdrew a lump sum amount of \u20b9 2,00,000.
\nIs the amount so withdrawn taxable? If yes, how much is the taxable amount? (Nov 2017, 5 marks)
\nAnswer:
\nAs per Section 80CCD(3), any payment from NPS to an employee [out of amount standing to the credit in his account in respect of which deduction under Section 80CCD has been allowed together with amount accrued thereon] on account of closure or his opting out of the pension scheme shall be deemed to be his income of the previous year in which the amount is received and would, accordingly, be chargeable to tax in his hands in that year.<\/p>\n

However, as per Section 10(12A), any payment from NPS Trust to an employee on account of closure or his opting out of the pension scheme referred to in Section 80CCD, to the extent it does not exceed 60% of the total amount payable to him at the time of closure or his opting out of the scheme, shall be exempt from tax.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, \u20b9 1,20,000 (being 60% of lump sum withdrawal of \u20b9 2 lakh) is exempt. The balance amount of \u20b9 80,000 (\u20b9 2,00,000 – \u20b9 1,20,000) would be deemed as Mr. Srivastava\u2019s income of P.Y.2019-20 and would be chargeable to tax in his hands in that year, under the head \u201cIncome from other sources\u201d.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nThe basic salary of Mr. A is \u20b9 1,00,000 p.m. He is entitled to dearness allowance, which is 40% of basic salary. 50% of dearness allowance forms part of pay for retirement benefits. Both Mr. A and his employer contribute 15% of basic salary to the pension scheme referred to in Section 80CCD. Explain the tax treatment in respect of such contribution in the hands of Mr. A.
\nAnswer,
\nTax treatment in the hands of Mr. A in respect of employer\u2019s and own contribution to pension scheme referred to in Section 80CCD
\n(a) Employer\u2019s contribution to such pension scheme would be treated as salary since it is specifically included in the definition of \u201csalary\u201d under Section 17(1 )(viii). Therefore, \u20b9 1,80,000, being 15% of basic salary of \u20b9 12,00,000, will be included in Mr. A\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n

(b) Mr. A\u2019s contribution to pension scheme is allowable as deduction under Section 80CCD(1). However, the deduction is restricted to 10% of salary.<\/p>\n

Salary, for this purpose. means basic pay plus dearness allowance, if it forms part of pay.<\/p>\n

Therefore, \u201csalary\u201d for the purpose of deduction under Section 8OCCD for Mr. A would be –
\n\"Deductions
\n\u20b9 1,44,000 is allowable as deduction under Section 8OCCD(1). This would be taken into consideration and be subject to the overall limit of \u20b9 1,50,000 under Section 8OCCE. \u20b9 36,000 allowable as deduction under Section 8OCCD(1 B) is outside the overall limit of \u20b9 1,50,000 under Section 8OCCE.<\/p>\n

In the alternative, \u20b9 50,000 can be claimed as deduction under Section 8OCCD(1B). The balance \u20b9 1,30,000 (\u20b9 1,80,000 – \u20b9 50,000) can be claimed as deduction under Section 8OCCD(1).<\/p>\n

However, this deduction of employer\u2019s contribution of \u20b9 1,44,000 to pension scheme would be outside the overall limit of \u20b9 1,50,000 under Section 8OCCE i.e., this deduction would be over and above the other deductions which are subject to the limit of \u20b9 1,50,000.<\/p>\n

\nNote : Adjusted total income = Gross Total Income – Amount of deductions under Section 80C to 80U except Section 80G i.e., \u20b9 6,00,000, in this case. \u20b9 60,000, being 10% of adjusted total income is the qualifying limit, in this case.<\/p>\n

Firstly, donation of \u20b9 40,000 to approved institution for family planning qualifying for 100% deduction subject to qualifying limit, has to be adjusted against this amount. Thereafter, donation to public charitable trust qualifying for 50% deduction, subject to qualifying limit is adjusted.<\/p>\n

      Is the company eligible for deduction in respect of such contribution\/expenditure, assuming that the contribution was made by cheque? If so, what is the quantum of deduction?
      \nAnswer :
      \nAn Indian company is eligible for deduction under Section 80GGB in respect of any sum contributed by it in the previous year to any political party or an electoral trust. Further, the word \u201ccontribute\u201d in Section 80GGB has the meaning assigned to it in Section 293A of the Companies Act, 1956, and accordingly, it includes the amount of expenditure incurred on advertisement in a brochure of a political party.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, ABC Ltd. is eligible for a deduction of \u20b9 2,25,000 under Section 80GGB in respect of sum of \u20b9 2 lakh contributed to an electoral trust and \u20b9 25,000 incurred by it on advertisement in a brochure of a political party.<\/p>\n

      It may be noted that there is a specific disallowance under Section 37(2B) in respect of expenditure incurred on advertisement in a brochure of a political party. Therefore, the expenditure of \u20b9 25,000 would be disallowed while computing business income\/gross total income. However, the said expenditure incurred by an Indian company is allowable as a deduction from gross total income under Section 80GGB.<\/p>\n

      The regular employees participate in recognized provident fund while the casual employees do not. Compute the deduction, if any, available to Mr. A for A. Y.2021 – 22, if the profits and gains derived from manufacture of computers that year is \u20b9 75 lakhs and his total turnover is 2.16 crores. What would be your answer if Mr. A has commenced the business of manufacture of footwear on 1.4.2020?
      \nAnswer:
      \nMr. A is eligible for deduction under Section 80JJAA since he is subject to tax audit under Section 44AB for A.Y.2021-22, as his total turnover from business exceeds \u20b9 1 crore and he has employed \u201cadditional employees\u201d during the P.Y.2020-21.<\/p>\n

      (I) If Mr. A is engaged in the business of manufacture of computers
      \nAdditional employee cost = \u20b9 24,000 \u00d7 12 \u00d7 75 [See Working Note below]
      \n= \u20b9 2,16,00,000
      \nDeduction under Section 80JJAA = 30% of \u20b9 2,16,00,000 = \u20b9 64,80,000.<\/p>\n

      Working Note:
      \nNumber of additional employees
      \n\"Deductions
      \nNotes: Since casual employees do not participate in recognized provident fund, they do not qualify as additional employees. Further, 125 regular employees employed on 1.5.2020 also do not qualify as additional employees since their monthly emoluments exceed \u20b9 25,000. Also, 100 regular employees employed on 1.9.2020 do not qualify as additional employees for the P.Y. 2020-21, since they are employed for less than 240 days in that year.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, only 75 employees employed on 1.4.2020 qualify as additional employees, and the total emoluments paid or payable to them during the P.Y. 2020-21 is deemed to be the additional employee cost.<\/p>\n

      \"Deductions<\/p>\n

      (i) As regards 100 regular employees employed on 1.9.2020, they would be treated as additional employees for previous year 2021-22, if they continue to be employees in that year for a minimum period of 240 days. Accordingly, 30% of additional employee cost in respect of such employees would be allowable as deduction under Section 80JJAA in the hands of Mr. A for the A.Y. 2022-23.<\/p>\n

      (II) If Mr. A is engaged in the business of manufacture of footwear:
      \nIf Mr. A is engaged in the business of manufacture of footwear, then, he would be entitled to deduction under Section 80JJAA in respect of employee cost of regular employees employed on 1.9.2020, since they have been employed for more than 150 days in the previous year 2020-21.
      \nAdditional employee cost = \u20b9 2,16,00,000 + \u20b9 24,000 \u00d7 7 \u00d7 100 = \u20b9 3,84,00,000 Deduction under Section 80JJAA = 30% of \u20b9 3,84,00,000 = \u20b9 1,15,20,000<\/p>\n

He also has interest on Fixed Deposit of \u20b9 30,000 with banks. He invested an amount of \u20b9 1,50,000 in Public Provident Fund account. What is the total income of Mr. A for the A.Y.2021 -22?

      \n\"Deductions
      \nNote: Though the value of eligible deductions is \u20b9 1,80,000, however, deduction under Chapter Vl-A cannot exceed the gross total income exclusive of long term capital gains taxable under Section 112 and Section 112A, short-term capital gains covered under Section 111A and winnings of lotteries of the assessee.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, the maximum permissible deduction under Chapter VI-A = \u20b9 2,85,000 – \u20b9 1,20,000 = \u20b9 1,65,000.<\/p>\n

      In case of resident individuals of the age of 60 years or more, interest on bank fixed deposits qualifies for deduction upto \u20b9 50,000 under Section 80TTB.<\/p>\n

      \"Deductions<\/p>\n

      Notes:
      \n(1) As per Section 80C, no deduction is allowed in respect of premium paid for life insurance of parents whether they are dependent or not. Therefore, no deduction is allowable in respect of \u20b9 25,000 paid as premium for life insurance of dependent parents of Mr. Gurnam.<\/p>\n

      In respect of insurance policy issued after 01.04.2012, deduction shall be allowed for life insurance premium paid only to the extent of 10% of sum assured. In case the insurance policy is issued before 01.04.2012, deduction of premium paid on-life insurance policy shall be allowed up to 20% of sum assured.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, in the present case, deduction of \u20b9 25,000 is allowable in respect of life insurance of Mr. Gurnam\u2019s son since the insurance policy was issued before 01.04.2012 and the premium amount is less than 20% of \u20b9 2,75,000. However, in respect of premium paid for life insurance policy of Mr. Gurnam himself, deduction is allowable only up to 10% of \u20b9 2,00,000 since, the policy was issued after 01.04.2012 and the premium amount exceeds 10% of sum assured.<\/p>\n

      \"Deductions<\/p>\n

      (2) As per Section 80D, in case the premium is paid in respect of health of a person specified therein and for health check-up of such person, deduction shall be allowed up to \u20b9 25,000. Further, deduction up to \u20b9 5,000 in aggregate shall be allowed in respect of health check-up of self, spouse, children and parents. In order to claim deduction under Section 80D, the payment for health-checkup can be made in any mode including cash. However, the payment for health insurance premium has to be paid in any mode other than cash.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, in the present case, in respect of premium of \u20b9 26,000 paid for health insurance of self and wife, deduction would be restricted to \u20b9 25,000. Since the limit of \u20b9 25,000 has been exhausted against medical insurance premium, no deduction is allowable for preventive health check-up for self and wife. However, deduction of \u20b9 4,500 is allowable in respect of health check-up of his parents, since it falls within the limit of \u20b9 5,000.<\/p>\n

      (3) No deduction shall be allowed under Section 80G in case the donation is made in cash of a sum exceeding \u20b9 2,000. Therefore, no deduction is allowed under Section 80G in respect of donation made to institution approved therein.<\/p>\n

      (4) As per Section 80TTA, deduction shall be allowed from the gross total income of an individual or Hindu Undivided Family in respect of income by way of interest on deposit in the savings account included in the assessee\u2019s gross total income, subject to a maximum of \u20b9 10,000. Therefore, a deduction of \u20b9 10,000 is allowable from the gross total income of Mr. Gurnam, though the interest from savings bank account is \u20b9 14,500.<\/p>\n
