Tax exemption to those with income up to Rs 5 lakh?

The previous year, just a few weeks before the tax return deadline of 31 July, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) exempted those with an income of up to Rs 5 lakh from filing returns. But, as ET Wealth pointed out, the conditions were so restrictive that no one was eligible for the exemption.

For instance, you were eligible for the exemption if you had reported the interest income from your savings bankaccount to your employer and tax had been duly deducted on that income. The CBDT hadannounced this at the end of June 2011, when most companies had already finished preparing the Form 16s of their employees.

The CBDT has woken up early this year. Last month, it announced a similar exemption for the current financial year as well. But the conditions are no less impractical than they were in 2011.

No income from investments

The exemption is for salaried taxpayers who have income only from salary and the interest from their savings bank account. Surely, a person earning Rs 30,000-40,000 a month would have invested in fixed deposits, recurring deposits, bonds and other investments as well. This includes tax saving investments in NSCs, infrastructure bonds and tax saving fixed deposits.

If the taxpayer puts money in any of these options, he would also earn interest from these investments, which will disqualify him for the exemption from filing returns. Only a person who has no tax saving investments and lets all his money idle in a savings bank will be eligible.

Investors in property also won’t make the cut. If they have any rental income, they are not eligible. Even if their second house is lying vacant, they will have a notional income from the property.

Practical difficulties

Even if the taxpayer has no income other than his salary and the bank interest, there is a practical difficulty. The interest on a savings bank account is credited to the account on a half-yearly basis. The interest from October 2011 to March 2012 will get credited after 31 March. But since it accrued this year, tax will have to paid on it right now.

However, the CBDT says that to avail of exemption from filing his return, the taxpayer should have declared his bank interest to his employer. It should be mentioned in the Form 16 and tax should be deducted on it. To do this, the taxpayer will have to estimate the interest income on the basis of his bank balance in the past 5-6 months.

The “Humble” Post Card: The Ordinary “People’s” Communication Mode

One of the leading humor writers in Malayalam – Shri N Goplakrishnan – has defined a cardiologist as one who writes letters only on post “cards”! He describes himself as one of the leading cardiologists in his home town!

            Here follows a collection of facts concerning the post card, the letter card and the art and science of Deiltology.

Removing the “Done, but with errors on the page” message in Internet Explorer

To day when I visit certain Web sites get the error message of “Done, but with errors on page.” What does that mean and is there anything to do to fix it?. Then i searched for a solution over the web and get a suitable answer. The answer is reproduced here.

This error usually only shows up in Internet Explorer and it mainly has to do with JavaScript. If the Web site you’re trying to view uses JavaScript, you may run into a script related error, which triggers the “Done, but with errors on page” message. It is usually generated by an error in the site’s code. Only the developers of the site can get in and fix it.

In can be eliminated easily by Clicking: Menu: Tools – Internet Options – Advanced tab. Check “Disable script debugging” Uncheck “Display a notification about every script error” Unless you are the developer of the web site, you may not want this notification. And like magic; problem solved!

Tips to Improve Windows Performance by Saving Memory and Increasing Speed

Everybody wants to improve his system Windows performance to improve.There are different factors involved in it and the important one is to  find more free memory. With the following tips, you can save even more memory.

• Clear the startup programs: When you start up Windows, several programs start and get loaded on to memory. These take up precious memory. Ideally, you should remove them using the settings provided in the programs themselves. But, if you can't, then use Startup Control Panel to do that. This program after its installation will be found in the Control Panel.

• RAM: A machine's speed can be simply improved by adding more RAM rather than going for a CPU upgrade. Get some additional RAM and see the improvement. If you have adequate RAM, but memory supply seems to be bottlenecked, then use RamBooster. It routinely frees some memory and can be custom adjusted for your needs. There are several such programs, but most of them make your system unstable. I had found no such problems withRambooster.

• Watch the programs in memory: Using software such as TaskInfo to find out which are the programs that are running in memory and weed out those that you do not need.
