Importance of receiving ITR-V acknowledgement
Most
of us file our income-tax (I-T) returns ‘online’ before the July 31
deadline. Electronic filing (e-filing) is convenient and you can even
pay your taxes online. However, filing your returns online does not mean
that the process of filing return is complete. If you have added your
‘digital signature’ while e-filing, then your return filing process is
complete. You will receive the acknowledgement by I-T department through
email.
But if you have filed your return online ‘without adding digital signature’, then the process of e-filing is not complete. Your e-filing will only be complete after the central processing centre (CPC) of the I-T department sends an email or SMS acknowledging the receipt of the Form ITR-V.
What does ITR-V mean?
ITR-V stands for ‘Income Tax Return–Verification’ Form. It is a one page document. ITR-V is received when you file your I-T return online—without using a digital signature. It is sent by the I-T Department. The I-T Department needs to verify the authenticity of your e-filing which does not have a digital signature. On receipt of Form ITR-V, you have to sign the copy of the Form in ‘blue ink’ and submit it to the I-T Department CPC, Bangalore to complete the filing process.
ITR-V significance
To complete the e-filing process (without digital signature), you need to follow the below mentioned steps.
ITR-V should be printed in dark blank ink and clear to read. ITR-V should have original signature in blue ink. Your signature should not be on bar code of the Form. Bar code and numbers below the bar code should be clearly seen. Do not use stapler on the Form ITR-V. Do not fold this signed ITR-V. Enclose the same in an A-4 size white envelope. Send the envelope to the CPC through speed post or ordinary post within 120 days from the date of filing. You cannot courier the ITR-V.
You do not need to send any supporting documents along with the ITR-V. Just the one page signed ITR-V. The envelope should be send to Income Tax Department CPC Post Box No.1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore-560100, Karnataka.
Upon receipt of ITR-V, CPC Bangalore dispatches an email acknowledgement on receipt of ITR-V. It should reach within 4-5 days after sending ITR-V to Bangalore.
The e-mail from CPC is sent to the email ID mentioned in the ITR. This is your acknowledgement. Your filing is now complete. Remember you have to compulsorily mail your ITR-V in a sealed A-4 envelope to the address mentioned above.
Remember, if you miss submitting your ITR-V within 120 days, your e-filing will be considered invalid. It will be considered that you have not yet filed your return. You then have to file a revised return, get a new ITR-V and submit the same within 120 days.
Not received the acknowledgement
If you haven’t received the acknowledgement, download the acknowledgement from the income-tax web portal by logging in through your online account. The same will be available under 'E-filing processing status' under the tab 'My Account'.
The receipt can also be checked by adding your PAN and assessment year or by filling the e-filing acknowledgement number on the 'ITR-V Receipt Status' tab under 'Services' section on the e-fling website.
You can also call the CPC call centre number 1800-4250-0025 (from 9am to 8pm) to enquire about the status of e-filing. For rectification and refund, the number is 1800-425-2229

Pranab Mukherjee
No. 13787/EAM/2008 19th
December 2008
Sub: 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC)
Implementation:
Further benefits
requested by the Armed Forces
This
has reference to the meeting taken by you on 27 November 2008 to discuss the
report I had sent on 11 November 2008. While there was general agreement on the
recommendations made, Finance Minister raised the issue regarding the
horizontal relativities of Armed Forces vis-Ã -vis CPMFs and civilians. It was
agreed that we should further examine the problems relating to Lt Col level
officers on deputation to the Central Secretariat, Intelligence Agencies and
CPMFs.
As
directed by you, I discussed the matter further with Shri A K Antony on 17
December. Since Shri P Chidambaram could not attend the meeting on 17 December,
I sent him a note after my discussions with RM. I received his view this
morning. The substantive portions of Shri Chidambaram’s view have been
incorporated in the revised report which is enclosed. Following recommendations
have been made in the revised report:
(i) The pensionary benefits to all PBORs may be given without
disadvantage to any category and an Anomaly Committee may be set (up)
immediately to address any such cases.
(ii) Lt Cols, who are in their parent service in combat or
ready-to-combat jobs, may be placed in Pay Band-4. Those Lt Col level officers
who are on deputation would be entitled to PB-4 only when they return to parent
service.
:: 2::
(iii) The grade pay for Lt Cols who are in
their parent service in combat or ready to combat jobs, may be fixed at Rs
8000/- against the grade pay of Rs 8700/- for Cols/Directors. Those Lt Col
level Officers who are on deputation be entitled to the above grade pay when
they return to parent service.
(iv) A High-Powered Committee may be set up to resolve the issues
relating to command and control functions/status of armed forces vis-Ã -vis
paramilitary forces and civilians.
(v) The pay revision of the armed forces should be delinked from
the civilian pay revisions. Separate Board or Commission should be set us to
recommend the pay scales of the Armed Forces in future.
You may like to approve these
recommendations for implementation.
Yours sincerely,

Rs 1 lakh SC fine for plea on settled soldier disability case
Expressing displeasure over the Ministry of Defence (MoD) getting into
unnecessary litigation, the Supreme Court has imposed a cost of Rs 1
lakh on the government for filing an appeal in the case of a disabled
soldier when similar appeals had already been dismissed earlier.
A former soldier, Naik Balbir Singh, who hails from Hoshiarpur district,
had been granted relief by the Chandigarh Bench of the Armed Forces
Tribunal in 2016. The MoD, however, challenged the order.
“This is unnecessarily adding to the burden of the justice delivery
systems for which the Union of India must take full responsibility,” a
Division Bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta held
recently.
It also asked the government to deposit the costs with the SC Legal
Services Committee within four weeks for utilisation in juvenile justice
issues.
The case is expected to come up for hearing on April 23 for the government to file its compliance report.
A committee of experts on reduction of litigation had come down heavily
upon the MoD and the services headquarters for generating unnecessary
“ego-fuelled litigation” by perceiving litigants as persons “acting
against the state”.
The panel had noted that even SC decisions, sentiments expressed by the
PM and Defence Minister and letters by A-G for reducing litigation had
not had any effect.

CHANGES IN INCOME TAX FORMS AY 2018-19 FY 2017-18
Income Tax department has notified the New ITR form for Ay 2018-19 Fy
2017-18.In new forms 25 specific changes has been made to enable Income
tax department to get more information from Taxpayers.
There is no change in the manner of filing of ITR Forms as compared to last year.
All these ITR Forms are to be filed electronically. However, where return is furnished in
ITR Form-1 (Sahaj) or ITR-4 (Sugam), the following persons have an option to file return
in paper form:-
- (i) an Individual of the age of 80 years or more at any time during the previous year; or
- (ii) an Individual or HUF whose income does not exceed five lakh rupees and who has not claimed any refund in the Return of Income.
Main changes has been covered as under.
1. Changes in Salary details in ITR-1.
Earlier only taxable salary is required to be filed under the head of
salary income in Income Tax return .But now more details has been asked
to be filed under salary Income. in our view this step has been taken
keeping in view of fraudulent refund claimed by the salaried person in
Mumbai and Bangaluru .
New columns in salary head in ITR has been added as under
- i Salary (excluding all allowances, perquisites and profit in lieu of salary)
- ii Allowances not exempt
- iii Value of perquisites
- iv Profit in lieu of salary
- v Deductions u/s 16
Filling of above details are not very difficult for salaried persons but
it will be confusing for few as many salaried person are not aware of
what is to be included under Profit in lieu of salary or Value of
perquisites and deduction u/s 16.
In our view all such information is provided in Form 16 itself except
allowance not exempt.So my suggestion to govt is that govt should also
amend form 16 so that it also shows the value of allowances not exempt.
2. Changes in Income under the head House property.
More details are required to be filled under this head in Income tax
return form ITR-2 also. Now following information is required to filled
for income from house property
- i Gross rent received/ receivable/ letable value
- ii Tax paid to local authorities
- iii Annual Value (i – ii)
- iv 30% of Annual Value
- v Interest payable on borrowed capital
- vi Income chargeable under the head ‘House Property’ (iii – iv – v)
All the columns explained in above in 1 and 2 was required to be filed
in ITR-2 but now it has been insterted in ITR-1 also. So ITR-1(sahaj) is
no more "Sahaj"(easy) Now.
3. The columns explained at Sr no 1 and 2 has also been inserted in ITR-4 return for presumptive income scheme also called as Sugam.
3. The columns explained at Sr no 1 and 2 has also been inserted in ITR-4 return for presumptive income scheme also called as Sugam.
4.Non resident is required to file ITR-2 in case of no income from
business and profession and can not file return on ITR-1 .Further he has
to provide details of bank account to get refund from income tax
department.
5. New Column of Fees under section 234F has been inserted in all relevant ITR. In ITR -1 it is given at D10 Fee u/s 234F
The Finance Act, 2017 vide section 234F levied
fees of Rs.5,000 in case where return is furnished after the due date
but on or before 31st December of the relevant assessment year and
Rs.10,000, in other cases. However, it is also provided to restrict the
fees to Rs.1,000, where the total income does not exceed five lakh
rupees.
