Income Tax and My Role in IT Return

We are always speaking about government. Our government is not doing any welfare works. Not doing any new projects etc.. But many people don’t know for these projects funds coming from where? Till the age of 20 I don’t have any idea what was income tax and why people are afraid of it. When I came to know about the exact thing I realized yes! as a citizen we have to do our duty for paying Income tax to move our country to the way of development. The amount which is collecting from Income Tax is used for the development projects.

 “I’m taking the #TaxPledge to file IT returns with the easy Income Tax efiling option from H&R Block at BlogAdda.”

If we are not paying the Income Tax then really we don’t have the right to speak about our government.

Now there are some set of rules and regulations for Income Tax. Who can pay the Tax? If you are doing the Investment then how to get profit by filing IT returns.

If you are a citizen of India and you are an employee who is annual income is more than 2.5 lac then it is your duty to pay the tax.

If you are investing the income in Life Insurance or purchasing land building or you are giving donation then there is no Income Tax for that amount. You can file the IT Return and Tax department will return the amount. For this proper details should be required.

Pay the tax and be an Indian.

Benefits of filing Income Tax Returns

What is Income Tax?

Income tax is a key source of funds that the government uses to fund its activities and serve the public. An income tax is a tax that governments impose on financial income generated by all entities within their jurisdiction. By law, businesses and individuals must file an income tax return every year to determine whether they owe any taxes or are eligible for a tax refund.

 “I’m taking the #TaxPledge to file IT returns with the easy Income Tax efiling option from H&R Block at BlogAdda.”

What will happen if you do not pay Income Tax?

You will receive a notice from Income Tax department for not filing return for how many years. They want you have to file it immediately and give a proper reason why you have not filed.

What will happen if you pay Income Tax?

Under Income Tax Law if your total income exceeds the basic exemption limit: You have to file the Income Tax Return within the prescribed time, i.e. by the due date.

This is applicable for the Assessment Year 2012-13.

As an Individual you are required by law to file your Income Tax Returns, if your total income without allowing deductions (such as Section 80C etc) exceeds the basic exemption limit.

For Assessment Year 2012-13, the basic exemption limits are the following:

•   For Men below the age of 60, the exemption limit is Rs. 1,80,000.

•   For Women, below the age of 60, the exemption limit is Rs. 1,90,000.

•   For Senior Citizens, whose age is between 60 years to 80 years, the exemption limit is Rs. 2,50,000. This is identical for men and women.

•   For Super Senior Citizens, of the age of 80 years or more, the exemption limit is Rs. 5,00,000.

What does Total Income without allowing deductions (such as Section 80C etc) actually mean?

Let’s say, your gross total Income is Rs. 2,00,000. You have paid Rs. 50,000 in LIC premium for claiming deduction under Section 80C. Your Taxable Income is Rs. 1,50,000 (Rs. 2,00,000 – Rs. 50,000). The tax payable on Rs. 1,50,000 is Zero.

However, even in this situation, you are required to file your Income Tax Return as your gross total Income exceeds the basic exemption limit of Rs. 1,80,000. (Assuming you are not a senior citizen).

Exemption for filing Income Tax Return for Salaried Employees

The Exemption range is changes during the budget time. So it is varying each year.

For the Assessment Year 2012-13, there is an exemption from filing the Income Tax Return for Salaried employees, subject to the following conditions. 

•   Your Total Income after deductions (such as Section 80C etc) is upto Rs. 5,00,000.

•   Income other than Salary should be only from Saving Bank Interest, upto Rs. 10,000. If you have any other source of Income like House Property, Capital Gain, or even interest from fixed deposits, you will have to file your Income Tax Return.

•   You must declare this Interest Income from the Saving Bank to the Employer. The employer then has to deduct the TDS taking into account your Interest Income.

•   If you have a refund due, you need to your file your Income Tax Return to claim this refund.

Fun. Freedom. Confidence. with Datsun redi-GO

Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

I like fun, and I am a funny guy. Wherever fun is there, I am always there. Everyone likes fun and now a day’s people searching for it. We can make ultimate fun in travelling, and I like it and enjoy a lot.

When we plan for a picnic, tour, trip first thing comes in our mind is with whom we have to go and how we have to travel. All prefers freedom and safe travel along with making lots of fun during the journey and confidence in the vehicle so that we can go and come by safe.

All the time I go outside with my own vehicle.  And I have trust in my car and myself. I have lots of freedom and if I like the place while travel I can stop the car immediately and capture photos, videos and take the memories back along with me. But I don’t have such opportunity if I go outside with rental car. Any how I am spending almost same money for both and doing less fun.

I have noticed several times and experienced also if we go outside with rental car and if the car crossing 80 km speed our confidence level decreases immediately. And we are thinking is this driver has driving experience? Is this car maintained properly? So many questions, and instead of doing fun we do tension.

Datsun India announced it is going to launch Datsun redi-GO on June 2016, and bookings started already. When I saw Datsun redi-GO’s photo I liked its Modern design. The design is good for India’s roads and traffic. The car gives a sporty and stylish look.

Datsun redi-GO has 800cc engine and gives 25.17 km/L mileage. So we can stay out and enjoy the travel more.

It contains i-SAT engine. Engine automatically adjusts based on the required power and quality of fuel. So it gives a smooth functionality and gives more performance.

Even we can take a U-turn in 4.7meter radius. This is most useful while we driving in the cities like Bangalore, Mumbai. It requires less parking space.

It is designed with the ground clearance of 185mm, approach angle 26.8degree and departure angle of 58.6 degree. The car body will not touch the ground even if the car crossing by a big road hump.

The car contains daytime light and I liked this. This increases the car look and keeps everyone safe.

It gives a High Stance, so you will get a wider road views and gives good comfort.

The car is designed with 5 manual gears and advanced tachometer which shows the average mileage from the time of filling fuel and it indicates when to shift the gear so that it can give good performance and economic fuel consumption. It contains Airbag too.

The dashboard is designed in a good way. 50% of the AC airflow will go to the rear seats. So the full family feels comfort and enjoys the travel.

I would like to test Datsun redi-GO in Bangalore. Bangalore is the second largest traffic city after Mumbai. And road conditions are not good when we compare to Mumbai. I will test specially ground clearance and mileage. Even want to see the new tachometer which indicates the fuel level and when to shift the gears.

It helps me to park in a less space and even I can turn the car in less space.

How to protect your Baby’s skin

“Pampers brings you the softest ever Pampers Premium Care Pants. Its cotton-like softness is #SoftestForBabySkin and allows it to breathe, thus keeping baby’s skin soft and healthy, and your baby happy. ”

Newborn skin is soft and sensitive. Keep baby's skin hydrated by bathing in warm water for only three to five minutes. Avoid letting your baby sit or play or soak for long in soapy water. Apply a baby lotion or moisturizer immediately after bath while skin is still wet, and then pat dry instead of rubbing.

There's nothing quite like the soft, delicate skin of a baby. And nothing like a cranky infant irritated by diaper rash, cradle cap, or another skin condition. While your baby is perfect, your baby's skin may not be. Many babies are prone to skin irritation in the first few months after birth. Here's how to spot and treat common baby skin problems.

As your child matures from a newborn to a more interactive baby by the age of 6 months, he'll become a master at showing you when something makes him content or upset. His face lights up in a heart-melting smile when you enter the room, or he wails when someone takes away his favorite toy. And you've probably noticed that he flips between smiling and crying faster than you can pop a pacifier in his mouth.

If it seems your baby spends more time wailing than giggling, that's because babies actually experience distress earlier than happiness. Crying and distressed facial expressions are there for a reason.

When the baby starts playing walking around its skin is getting damage or germs attacks. And the Baby is crying, how do you know if he's in pain, hungry, or just bored? A sensitive mother can pick up on different kinds of cries and facial expressions and baby understands the mother and stops crying.

Tips for Baby's Skin

Wash and Wear
Babies, especially newborns, tend to have sensitive skin, so doctors recommends washing new clothing and towels before using them. Although there are special "baby" laundry detergents, which leave fewer residues after washing, it's perfectly fine to use regular detergents.

 The Bottom Side
Chances are you've already encountered a diaper rash -- and if you haven't, you will. The materials that keep diapers from leaking also prevent air from circulating, creating the perfect environment for a rash to breed. In India many parents use Pampers for their babies.

 Bath Basics

ours is a culture obsessed with cleanliness, which means that parents tend to overdo it when it comes to bathing their beauties. Dips in the tub aren't advised until the umbilical stump falls off and until a boy's circumcision heals. Until then, a gentle sponge bath of the bottom and genitals is plenty.

Here Comes the Sun
Your first thought is probably to slather your little bundle in sunscreen. But for babies under 6 months, that's not a good idea. Babies have more skin surface than adults, so they receive a higher dose of chemicals.
