NARESH JAKHOTIA (Chartered Accountant) “EXEMPTION U/S 54F & U/S 54EC CAN BE CLAIMED SIMULTANEOUSLY” Query 1] I had purchased an agriculture land in the year 1995 and sold the same in April- 2011. The agricultural land was well within rural land as per Income Tax Act. i.e., there was no village having more than 10,000 populations & is not within the circle of 8 Km as per pervious census, but as per latest census the population of a nearby village has been more than 10,000.

In such case, whether bank will also deduct on current A/c. or S.B. A/c Interest? [bsc.arya@gmail.com] b] I am a student pursuing CA-Final. Recently, during our bank audit, we have come across the interest payment of more than Rs. 10,000/- to the customer. No Tax is deducted by the bank in the current year nor has been done so in the past as well. I have gone through section 194A which no where provides exemptions from TDS on interest payment on Saving A/c. I have gone through the Circular No. 22/68-IT(B) [F.No. 12/23/68-IT(B)], dated 28-3/13-5-1968 which also confirms the deduction of Tax at source on Saving bank account interest. Please examine whether TDS will be applicable or on interest credit on saving bank A/c? [xxxx5147@

I would be grateful to you if you solve my query. My father is a retailer and was not having taxable income till last year. He has lost his PAN card & we don’t have copy of it. We don’t know his PAN Number also. This year he is suppose to file the income tax Return. It won’t be possible to file the return without PAN. What should we do? Do we apply for new PAN card? If possible, how can we get new copy of old PAN number itself? Please advice. 2. I have a commercial property which I have given it on Rent @ Rs. 1,50,000/- per month. I have come to know that corporation tax @ 40% is applicable on such rent.

Further there will be TDS Deduction & my other income is also above Rs. 6,00,000/-
