How income tax is levied on your stock market transactions
Ever since the covid-19 pandemic set in, many people resorted to direct trading in stocks. Some of the brokerages have seen a surge in the number of new demat accounts . If you are among those who traded in stocks during the financial year 2020-21 and are planning to file tax returns for the year, you should know how the gains from stock trading are taxed. Also, let’s understand where to report them in the income tax return (ITR) and which ITR form to file. While filing one's Income Tax Return (ITR) one needs to mention all its sources of income including stock market investments. Below are few Advices.
Intraday Trading:
In our Opinion in case, the taxpayer is an intraday trader, then he or she will have to file ITR-3 Form.
- Buying or selling of stocks on the same day is known as intraday trading. In the case of investing, the investor takes the delivery of shares and holds it for at least a day. In intraday trading, the intention of the trader is not to hold the stock for the long term based on the growth prospects of the underlying stock, but to make foreseeable gains based on the volatility of shares on that particular day. Therefore, income from intraday trading is either speculation gain or loss, which comes under the head of business income.
- As intraday trading is done with the objective to earn income or profit from fluctuation in prices of the stocks, thus it is arguably considered under business income category taxable under the head ‘Income from business or profession’.
- While arriving at the income or loss from trading of stocks, you are allowed to deduct the expenses related to trading in stocks as business expenses. “Expenses such as internet charges, telephone charges, broker’s commission and demat account charges can be claimed as deduction. Also, losses arising from intraday trading are allowed to be set off only against profit from any other speculative business, provided ITR is filed in time. The Income from intraday trading is added to Total Income .Income Tax is Applicable as per Income tax Slabs on Total Income.
- The taxpayer has stock investments in the derivative market; in that case too, ITR-3 Form will be applicable.
Investment Taxability:
In our Opinion If a taxpayer has investments in cash segment, then he or she will have to file ITR-2.
- For stock market investors who have investment in cash segment like Equity Shares, units in Equity Oriented Funds there are two types of income tax being levied — Short Term Capital Gain (STCG) and Long Term Capital gain (LTCG).
- Short Term Capital Gain (STCG) and Long term Capital Gain (LTCG) For Equity Oriented Schemes
Short Term Capital Gain (STCG)is any gain on sale of Shares ,If the stock holding is for less than 12 months, STCG will be levied atm15 per cent of the net income.
Long term Capital Gain (LTCG) is any Gain arising from sale of Shares held for more than 12months. LTCG up to 1 lakh is tax free. However, for LTCG, the taxpayer will be levied 10 per cent of its income beyond 1 lakh in single financial year.
If the taxpayer has incurred loss from its investment in stock market, then it can be set off against against Gains as per income tax Provisions and further it allows him or her to carry forward the loss for the next 8 years. This carry forward of loss for 8 years is applicable only when taxpayer has filed his return with in the due date.
However these tax implications will be applicable for Equity shares and Units of Equity funds which are subject to Securities Transaction Tax (STT). STT is a charged on purchase and sale of securities that are listed on the recognized stock exchanges in India.

INCOME TAX UPDATE:FEW ADVICES AND THINGS TO BE DONE BEFORE 31 MARCH BY INDIVIDUALS
Tax Planning
Tax planning refers to financial planning for tax efficiency. An individual can optimally utilise tax exemptions, tax rebates, and benefits available as per the Income Tax Law to minimise tax liability.
Estimate the tax liability
Firstly, taxpayers should estimate their tax liability after considering investments or payments that qualify for a tax deduction and ensure that advance tax has been paid. Contribution towards EPF, repayment of home loan principal and interest repayments, NPS contribution as part of their salary package (if any), term insurance plans, tax deduction on HRA, medical insurance, health insurance etc qualify for tax deduction. However, profits made from investments could add to taxable income. Therefore, understanding one’s taxable income is a requisite to be able to plan taxes.
Identify the tax regime
Individuals should further identify which tax regime is good for them (the old one or the new one). For better tax management, investors should calculate their tax liability under both tax regimes and opt for one involving the least tax liability. Budget 2020 introduced a new tax regime with a lower tax rate in the interest of those unable to avail of benefits under the older tax regime. However, this regime is optional.
Invest with a long-term approach
Experts suggest individuals avoid taking a piecemeal approach while making tax-saving investments. Instead, they should align investments with long-term financial goals to derive the dual benefit of tax saving and wealth creation.
Making investments with proper planning
While making an investment, many people forget to check its rate of return. The rate of return on investments like PPF and FDs is readily available on websites, advertisements, etc. But the rate of return on investments like ELSS, ULIP, etc., whose values fluctuate daily, is uncertain. So, while making the investment in these, experts suggest that an individual must check whether their returns are enough if they are compared with the return on other investments.
Invest in voluntary investments eligible for tax deductions
The residual tax liability can be saved through various voluntary investments or payments eligible for tax deduction under various sections of the Income Tax Act. These include investments in ELSS, NPS, ULIPs, VPF, PPF and other small savings schemes qualifying for Section 80C deduction, eligible up to Rs 1,50,000. An additional deduction for investments of up to Rs 50,000 in NPS under Section 80CCD (1B). Deduction under Section 80GG can be availed for those living on rent but not receiving HRA.
These deductions are applied to the total amount of tax owed. It is totally as per Income Tax Act and, in fact, a wise decision when tax planning is done within the boundaries set by the respective authorities. However, employing unscrupulous methods to avoid paying taxes is prohibited, and you could face penalties and other Consequences. Hence, it is advised to do your tax planning conforming to the provisions under taxation laws, thereby minimizing any litigation.
Further, the last date to file ITR-U for Financial Year 2019-20 is 31 st March 2023. After 31 March there will be no opportunity available to file ITR for the Financial Year 2019-20.

GST Council decisions Applicable from 1 January
Many decisions related to Goods and Services Tax (GST), decisions signed off by the GST Council at its meeting earlier in December, will kick in from 1 January, showed orders issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC). Decision were taken with regards to Tax Rates, Measures for facilitations of Trade, measures for streamlining compliances in GST. Few important items are listed below:
CBIC notified that no GST is payable where a residential dwelling is rented to a GST registered person if it is rented it in his or her personal capacity for use as his or her own residence. This exemption is applicable when the dwelling is rented on his own account and not on account of his business. This brings clarity about the GST liability of proprietors of businesses on rented properties.
CBIC also said that the tax rate changes cleared by the Council will be effective from 1 January. Accordingly, ethyl alcohol supplied to refineries for blending with motor spirit (petrol) will only attract 5% GST against 18% now.
The Council had decided to lower the rate on the husk of pulses, including chilka and concentrates, to zero from 5%. It had also decided to include supply of mentha arvensis under reverse charge mechanism as has been done for mentha oil in order to improve tax compliance.
At the last Council meeting on 17 December, Centre and states had clarified on the applicability of GST cess on sports utility vehicles and decided to decriminalise certain provisions of the law.
As per this, the minimum threshold of tax amount for launching prosecution under GST has been raised to ₹2 crore from ₹1 crore, except for the offence of issuing invoices without supply of goods or services.
The Council had also decided to reduce the compounding amount from the present range of 50-150% of tax amount to 25-100%.
Refund to unregistered persons: There is no procedure for claim of refund of tax borne by the unregistered buyers in cases where the contract/ agreement for supply of services, like construction of flat/house and long-term insurance policy, is cancelled and the time period of issuance of credit note by the concerned supplier is over. The Council recommended amendment in CGST Rules, 2017, along with issuance of a circular, to prescribe the procedure for filing application of refund by the unregistered buyers in such cases.
Incentive paid to banks by Central Government under the scheme for promotion of RuPay Debit Cards and low value BHIM-UPI transactions are in the nature of subsidy and thus not taxable
The Council recommended to insert Rule 37A in CGST Rules, 2017 to prescribe the mechanism for reversal of input tax credit by a registered person in the event of nonpayment of tax by the supplier by a specified date and mechanism for re- availment of such credit, if the supplier pays tax subsequently. This would ease the process for complying with the condition for availment of input tax credit under section 16(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017.
Issuance of the following circulars in order to remove ambiguity and legal disputes on various issues, thus benefiting taxpayers at large:
a. Procedure for verification of input tax credit in cases involving difference in input tax credit availed in FORM GSTR-3B vis a vis that available as per FORM GSTR-2A during FY 2017-18 and 2018-19.
b. Clarifying the manner of re-determination of demand in terms of sub-section (2) of section 75 of CGST Act, 2017.
c. Clarification in respect of applicability of e-invoicing with respect to an entity.

FILE REVISED INCOME TAX RETURN TO CORRECT ERRORS IN ORIGINAL ITR BY DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON UPDATED RETURN.
In continuation of last week’s Article, on this week we would like to highlight the importance of Revised Return. Section 139 (5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 allows you to file a revised income tax return if you’ve made mistakes in the returns which were filed earlier. Incorrect bank details, incorrect personal information, use of an incorrect income tax form, mismatch of income between the Income Tax Return and Form 26AS, unintentional omission of recording foreign income and in other cases of mistakes committed by the tax-payer, the facility of a revised income tax return is allowed by the Income Tax Act. When the taxpayer corrects and re-files his ITR, it is called a Revised ITR.
Who can file a Revised Income Tax Return U/s. 139 (5) and the due date?Any taxpayer who has already filed his Income Tax Returns can revise and re-file an Income Tax Return. Even if the return is filed after the due date which is called a Belated Income Tax Return, a revised income tax return can be filed on such belated returns. The time duration within which the revised income tax return should be filed for Financial Year 2021-2022 is 3 months before the completion of the relevant assessment year i.e. 31 st December 2022.
A revised income tax return would substitute the original income tax return completely. Thus, once the revised return is filed, it is considered the final Income Tax Return. No penalty or charge is levied by the income tax department if you file a revised income tax return. You can file a revised income tax return as many times as you want as there is no limit to the number of times of filing the return. So, if you’ve made an error in filing your ITR given the technicalities involved, don’t worry, you can file a revised return and correct the errors which you’ve made.
If you haven’t filed a revised return and there are any mistakes in your previous return, the Income Tax Department will issue you a notice stating your mistakes. Moreover, if you’re eligible for any Income Tax refund, the refund may not be processed till a revised return is filed. Hence, you are advised to revise your return before December 31, 2022.
What is an Updated Return?
In many real-life situations, returns are required for period for which option to file return U/s. 139(1) original return/ 139(4) belated return has expired. In such circumstances, you may file lapsed return in later period in form of an updated return. Updated return is an opportunity given to the Assessee to correct the mistake, omissions etc. in the original return filed U/s. 139(1) or in the belated return U/s. 139(4) or in the revised return U/s. 139(5). Similarly, in cases where no return could be filed U/s. 139(1) / 139(4), it is also a last opportunity to voluntarily file the return.
The updated return cannot be filed during the Assessment Year. It can be filed only after the end of the Assessment Year i.e. 31 st March of the relevant assessment year. This facility will be available thereafter up to 24 months after the end of the assessment year. During this period no other voluntary filing facility U/s. 139(1) or 139(4) or 139(5) will be available.
Updated return is to be filed in Form ITR-U. ITR-U is to be filed by all assessee irrespective of the fact that original return form applicable was ITR-1 or ITR-2 or any other ITR form. ITR-U is a complete return. It is sufficient to file ITR-U only for updated return. The updated return cannot be revised because the time limit for revising the return U/s. 139(5) (31 st December) will always expire prior to the commencement of filing of updated return. Therefore, only one updated return for a particular assessment year is permissible.

NRIs EXPECTATION ON TAXATION IN BUDGET 2023
From Non-resident Indians (NRI) perspective, some relaxations in terms of compliance requirements and rate of taxes applicable on certain sources of income in India could be considered.
The government may also provide additional incentives and benefits to NRIs who are already in India or are planning to return home.
NRIs remit funds to India for various reasons which may include the upkeep of their dependents staying in India, the continuation of their retirement benefit accounts, investments in Indian securities and Real estate for Returns etc. However NRIs expects that compliance requirements for NRIs can be further simplified.
Below is the List of Few of the Expectations of the NRIs
Ease of Compliance and Compliance through Digital means
To begin with the NRIS Expects, the government may make it easier for NRIs to understand their taxation process. This could include providing clarifications on when a non-resident is required to file a tax return in India, introducing digital means for submitting all returns and forms, and making further improvements in the documentation required for an NRI to file their returns.
An NRI who maintains a Non-resident Ordinary (NRO) bank account in India may earn interest on the funds just like a resident taxpayer. However, the payer bank is obligated to deduct TDS on the amount of interest paid to the NRI which is usually at a maximum slab rate of 30%. Therefore, even though the NRI may not have any active source of income in India other than interest from such NRO bank account, his income suffers tax deduction at a maximum rate which may be ultimately claimed as a refund in the income-tax return (ITR). Moreover, in this case, the NRI is mandatorily required to file a lengthy ITR-2 form compared to a resident taxpayer who needs to file a much simpler ITR-1 form. The government may consider easing the compliance for NRIs not having capital gains or business/professional income.
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) would prefer a reduction TDS across asset classes through Budget 2023. TDS reduction is important for NRIs as in many cases their tax liability is less than the tax deducted at source and they have to wait till Income Tax Return (ITR) filing to claim the same.
TDS on rentals was another key concern raised by NRIs who participated in the survey. TDS @ 30% is deducted by tenants, which leads to low cash in hand.
TDS on sale of Property by Non-residents
In the case of the sale of immovable property by an NRI, the buyer of the property is required to deduct TDS at 20%+ cess on the gross sales amount if the properties sold after two years i.e. long- term capital gain. And for properties sold before 2 years, the TDS rate is 30%+cess, deducted as Short Term Capital Gains Tax. This TDS rate is further enhanced by the applicable surcharge if the gross sales consideration of the property is more than INR 50 lakh. This leads to substantial blockage of funds for an NRI if the ultimate tax liability on capital gains income is lower the TDS deducted from his hands. The applicable TDS rate for a seller of an immovable property who is a tax resident is only 1% in case the gross sales amount exceeds INR 50 lakh. This has been a pain point for the NRIs who wish to dispose of their immovable property in India. Although there is an option to apply for a lower TDS certificate from the jurisdictional tax officer, the process is marred with its own encumbrances. Therefore, relaxation in TDS provisions in the case of an NRI seller will simplify the whole process of the sales transaction.
Further, the benefit of presumptive taxation is available only to resident taxpayers doing eligible business/ profession wherein they are required to pay taxes at a fixed rate without the need to maintain any books of accounts and get them audited. Such benefit is not available to an NRI and he ends up maintaining books and records of business/ profession done in India, although the income may not be substantial. NRIS expect extending the benefit of presumptive taxation to NRIs will provide a simpler administrative framework, especially in those cases where the turnover of business/ profession or the actual taxable profit is not substantial.
While an NRI may be able to rationalize the applicable tax rate on certain sources of income by availing the benefits under the tax treaties which India has with other countries, to avail such benefits, an NRI will be required to obtain and submit with the Indian tax authorities a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) which can be obtained from the tax authorities of the overseas jurisdiction.
Obtaining a TRC has its own procedural challenges and may also involve the financial cost of NRI which adds to the overall administrative burden for the NRI, especially where the tax saving in India may not be substantial. The NRIs expect the government to further ease the process or consider specifying a certain income or tax threshold beyond which TRC should be made mandatory to avail of tax treaty benefits.
Few of other Expectations
- Intimation of various communications from the IT department should also be sent on the international contact number.
- Regarding tax notifications, NRIs want more time to respond to and act on enquiries. They find it difficult to supply data while they are abroad, as NRI must be physically present in India to collect specific documents – such as those stored in a locker
- To enhance the ease of Investing in India, the implementation of Online KYC and Demat Account Opening for Indians located overseas will be a highly welcome step.
- An exclusive NRI Helpline Number for Taxation and Compliance can be established.
Having due regard to the above challenges, NRIs would look forward to a progressive budget that rationalizes the tax rates and administrative requirements .Further Ease of compliance framework and rationalized tax regime will encourage the NRIs to invest more time and resources in India which may ultimately prove as a bridge for nation-building for these NRIs who continue to maintain socio- economic ties with India.

If you have missed deadline of December 31, 2022 to file ITR for FY 2021-22, then this is what you can do.
If you are one of those individuals who missed the last date of December 31, 2022 to file an original, belated or revised income tax return for Financial Year 2021-22, do not worry. There is still a chance for you to file the Income Tax Return.
Below are few important details of Updated return: With the introduction of updated return concept last year, an option to file an Updated Return (ITR U) has been given to the individuals who have missed the chance to file their tax returns. Before the introduction of this facility, an individual could mainly file their Income under three types of Income Tax Returns i.e. Original Return U/s. 139(1) (filed on or before the due date), Belated Return U/s. 139(4) (filed on or before December 31) and Revised Return U/s. 139(5) (submitted after the original is filed but on or before December 31) and now Income Tax Return 139(8A) has been added.
Hence, if you have not filed an original, belated or revised return and it also gives an opportunity to the assessee to correct the mistakes/omissions etc, in the return already filed. The assessee can file Updated ITR from January 1, 2023.As per the Section 139(8A) An Updated ITR can be filed within 24 months from the end of the relevant Assessment Year.
ITR U Process
The process of filing an Updated Return is the same as that of any other Income Tax Return. An Updated Return is filed U/s. 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Once the Income Tax Return has been filed, it has to be verified after which, the Income Tax Department will process the return.
An NRI who maintains a Non-resident Ordinary (NRO) bank account in India may earn interest on the funds just like a resident taxpayer. However, the payer bank is obligated to deduct TDS on the amount of interest paid to the NRI which is usually at a maximum slab rate of 30%. Therefore, even though the NRI may not have any active source of income in India other than interest from such NRO bank account, his income suffers tax deduction at a maximum rate which may be ultimately claimed as a refund in the income-tax return (ITR). Moreover, in this case, the NRI is mandatorily required to file a lengthy ITR-2 form compared to a resident taxpayer who needs to file a much simpler ITR-1 form. The government may consider easing the compliance for NRIs not having capital gains or business/professional income.
Interest on filing ITR U
An individual filing an Updated Return is liable to pay penal interest. An individual will be liable to pay 25% additional tax on the tax due if the ITR-U for Financial Year 2021-22 is
filed within the first relevant assessment year(for the first 12 months). If the ITR-U is filed between 12 months to 24 months , then 50% additional tax on the tax due must be paid. For the previous Financial Years, the dates for filing Updated Return and percentage of applicability of additional tax has been summarized as follows:

An individual can also file an updated return if they have not filed any ITR earlier and have no pending income tax dues. However, the person will have to pay a penalty for the late filing of the return U/s. 234F. Under Section 234F of the Income-tax Act 1961, a penalty of Rs 5,000 is levied on an individual filing an ITR after the expiry of the due date i.e. July 31, 2022. However, small taxpayers with a taxable income of up to Rs 5 lakh have to pay a penalty of only Rs 1,000. This late filing fee must be deposited before you start the process of filing ITR.
Under certain situations, an individual cannot file an Updated ITR. For example, Updated return already filed, Nil return, Loss return, to enhance the refund amount, Updated return results in lower tax liability, there is no additional tax outgo, 133A Survey case, Books or documents seized under 132A, Assessment / Reassessment/Revision/Recomputation pending

BUDGET 2023 FEW IMPORTANT EXPECTATIONS
Ahead of the Union Budget 2023 due on February 1 2023, with expectations and demands from the taxpayers, the Union Finance Minister is ready to present her 4th full budget. Taxpayers, especially lower and middle income earners are expecting a host of relief measures from the Budget this time. Below are a few of them.
The revision of income tax slabs is one anticipation for the 2023 budget. According to the analysis, many respondents believe that modifying certain aspects of personal taxation will improve the in-hand income. The 5% tax rebate under the new tax system implemented in earlier years helped taxpayers pay less in taxes, however it eliminated some deductions. The government maybe reportedly considering increasing the basic tax exemption limit from Rs 2.5 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs. This change would not affect individuals earning up to 5 lakhs, as they already receive a rebate under Section 87A. However, it may eliminate the need for them to file mandatory tax returns. The old taxation system imposed a 30% tax on income beyond 10 lakhs. The taxpayers in the coming budget anticipate that the tax slab would be enlarged, pushing the threshold for the 30% tax rate up from 10 lakhs to 20 lakhs. Moreover, the government may consider reducing the tax rate from 30 percent to 25 percent under the new regime.
For Salaried Individuals, around 50 per cent of the income tax returns filed in 2022 were by salaried professionals. They are eagerly awaiting the upcoming budget, in the last few budgets there were not many changes, except for the optional new tax regime in the Budget 2020. However this tax regime was not widely preferred due to lack of deduction benefits. The increase in the 80C limit is another expectation in the budget. The Section 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961 allows for deductions from taxable income on a variety of investments up to 1.5 lakh rupees annually. Currently, a taxpayer can deduct up to Rs 1.5 lakhs from their total income, but there is demand from taxpayers for an increase to Rs 2.5 lakhs.
Currently, there are varying tax rates for various industries. The corporate sector anticipates that uniformity in tax rates should be implemented for India to stand as a center for both the manufacturing and services industries. The MSMEs are expecting an easier line of credit which is one of their essential requirements. The defence sector expects higher allocation and more focus on research and development. There has been growth in India’s infrastructure. The thrust of the government on infrastructure mostly continue in the 2023 Budget, too.
The Union Budget 2023-24 will be the government’s final full budget before the 2024 elections, Industry expects it to be one that helps maintain the steady economic growth trajectory. Experts are also of the view that boosting consumption by leaving more money in the hands of the consumers is quick way for further recovery in economic growth. Apart from above All taxpayers and general Public expect that the Budget will Improve the Infrastructure boost, Education and medical boost among others.
