The Income Tax Act 1961 is a voluminous piece of legislation. Taxmann Publications’ latest edition of the Act runs into 1,125 pages. It’s enough to intimidate even the most diligent law student and tax expert, leave alone ordinary taxpayers. But hidden away in the 300-odd sections and 14 schedules are clauses that can benefit ordinary taxpayers-provided they know how to claim those benefit.  So, what are those tax saving secrets that one needs to know?

Gift money to your major children and Save tax on Future Income

idea posted by suchita Ambardekar Director on Board, Vir Rubber Products Pvt Ltd, Vir auto enterprises Pvt Ltd
As per income-tax laws you can gift any amount of money to your major children without attracting gift-tax and as their money will become theirs any income arising out of it would be treated as their income, not yours. In case their income is below the limits, there won’t be any tax. However there can be times, where you might not feel too comfortable gifting away large amounts of money to your major children, in which case, there is another option of giving them loans. And guess what? you can make interest-free loans to your major children as per the law . Please note that doing exactly the same thing with your spouse is not possible. Any income you transfer to your spouse which generates any income will be treated as your income only. However, if you are going to be married in some months and you have some big amount of cash, you can gift her right away, as gift given to prospective wife would become hers lawfully!

if you are staying in a house but your spouse is paying the rent, you can not claim any deduction.

Add your argument:

Take a home loan.

idea posted by manikanta raj Deputy Manager Finance, project financing, leading Financing company
home loan gives us tax saving option, to extent of loss under house property to extent of interest paid upto rs.150000/- and principal paid can be claimed under sec. 80C. Always take loan for a house if possible in your hometown, so that you can get HRA dedcuction u/s.10(13)(a) also along with above deductions.

Tax planning in Businessmen profiles is unique and innovative

idea posted by SR Sham Sunder CEO/MD/Director Technoaid
Why do we always look at salaried employees for tax savings? If a businessman wants to plan, he needs his balance sheet to be analysed properly for avenues. Proper analysis of balance sheet will throw open many options. My approach is innovative and not IT law based...

Get deduction for rent even without HRA

idea posted by Adrija Assistant manager finance , HDFC Bank

After doing some research I came to know this. House rent can account for as much as 40-50% of the total household expense. That’s why the house rent allowance is exempt from tax to a certain limit. But what if your salary does not include an HRA component or you are a self-employed professional or businessman? Under Section 80GG, you can claim deduction of the rent paid even if you don’t get HRA. “Not many people are aware of this deduction. But there are stiff conditions to be met. The least of the following three can be claimed as deduction: rent paid less 10% of total income; or Rs 2,000 a month; or 25% of total income. Also, the taxpayer should not be drawing any HRA or any housing benefit.

Besides, he or his spouse or minor child should not own a house in the city where he stays and he should not be claiming tax benefits for some other self-occupied house. Whew. Incidentally, if you are living in your parents’ house, you can pay rent to them. If your parent has no other income or pays a lower tax, this can bring down your tax liability significantly. However, the rent will be taxable as the income of the parent after a 30% standard deduction. This means, you can pay a senior citizen parent up to Rs 3.43 lakh a year.

Mam, when someone publishes a study or research it means there is fair amount of truth into it. You just cannot brush off the matter saying it is fake. If so then you should resonate.
Thanks Manish btw many here are too old for this :) MR. Murthy the link of your blog :)
As such I am not satisfied by the sides given. But the question that should be raised is that why should there be an increase. They already have enough what more do they want?
