Banks' proposal for tax relief on NPA interest under review
New Delhi: The government is reviewing a proposal from banks to exempt the interest earned on non-performing assets by amending the income tax law to align the definition of NPAs with that of the banking sector regulator, the Reserve Bank of India . The RBI classifies a loan as an NPA if the interest or principal remains overdue for more than 90 days, while the income-tax act classifies a loan NPA if this period is more than six months. "In May, these suggestions were made to the Department of Financial Services, which in turn flagged the issue with the revenue department in the finance ministry," said an official requesting anonymity, adding that separately a representation has also been made by the Indian Banks' Association , or IBA. A committee with tax officials, representatives from the industry and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has been tasked with the review of the draft income-tax law and is examining the issue, said another government official. Live Events The section 43D under the income tax act specifically provides for taxation of interest income from non-performing loans. It is taxed either on a realisation basis or as a credit to the statement of profit and loss, whichever is earlier. Lenders have also sought an increase in deduction for the provision made for NPA to up to 15% of the gross income from 8.5%. Under section 36(1)(viia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, banks and financial institutions are allowed a deduction in respect of the provisions made for non-performing assets. The provision is also applicable to NBFCs and housing finance companies. The industry had in the past flagged the issue citing numerous litigation at various courts. If the government agrees to the proposed changes, banks' bottom lines will get a boost. As per current data, gross non-performing assets, or GNPAs, of scheduled commercial banks, or SCBs, stood at Rs 4.16 lakh crore as of Q4 FY25. "The NPA recognition principles are not clearly aligned, leading to instances where the tax department seeks to tax notional interest income on NPAs, even though such interest is not recognized in books due to RBI norms," Sandeep Sehgal, Partner- Tax, AKM Global, a tax and consulting firm said. This puts unjust tax liability on unrealised income as banks and financial institutions are required to pay tax on interest income beyond 90 days, Sehgal added.

Singapore casts tax shadow on India bets, shuns shell companies
Mumbai: Singapore is intensifying scrutiny of companies and investment entities, a move that could ignite new tax disputes. This development particularly impacts many MNCs and international funds that use the Asian financial hub as a base to invest in and acquire companies in India. The catalyst for these potential disputes is a recent series of advance rulings by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), which define and endorse what constitutes ' economic substance '. If a Singaporean entity fails to meet the conditions emphasized by the tax administrator and thus cannot prove it has adequate 'substance,' the Indian Income Tax (I-T) department could levy higher taxes. This could involve claiming tax on certain stock sale transactions or demanding increased tax on earnings from dividends and loan interest paid by an Indian company. Dealmakers and businesses are closely monitoring this situation. "These advance rulings are the first to evaluate economic substance factors since their inclusion in 2024 as Section 10L of Singapore's Income Tax Act for taxing gains from the sale of foreign assets. These factors could be used by Indian tax authorities to determine whether a Singapore-based entity is merely a conduit, particularly when applying the Principal Purpose Test (PPT)," explained Ashish Karundia of the CA firm Ashish Karundia & Co. (A PPT is a provision that allows denial of treaty benefits). According to Girish Vanvari, founder of the tax and regulatory advisory firm Transaction Square, the implications are far-reaching due to the change in law prioritizing substance and economic reality over legal form. "For tax professionals and business leaders, this means a necessary recalibration of how Singapore is used in cross-border structuring -especially in relation to Indian operations. So, if you're using Singapore as a holding or IP base for India-related investments, it's time to revisit the structure. The days of relying purely on treaty protection without operational presence are over," said Vanvari. Many foreign investors betting on India utilize Singapore to leverage the tax treaty between the two countries. A common structure involves one of their arms in a tax-friendly jurisdiction setting up a company in Singapore (say, S1), which in turn owns another company in Singapore (say, S2). In this two-layered structure, S2 serves as a vehicle to invest in India. Typically, when exiting an Indian investment, S1 might sell the shares of S2, which holds shares in an Indian company; alternatively, S2 would directly sell its interest in the Indian company. THE PARAMETERS The IRAS underscored that economic substance would require: (a) a company to have adequate human resources with the necessary qualifications and experience; (b) have a premise in Singapore; (c) take key business decisions there; and (d) incurs expenditure. If S1 or S2 does not fulfil these criteria, they would come under the lens of the tax authorities in either Singapore or India. How? Here are the possible situations: · Say, S1 sells shares of S2 (both local entities) and if India demands tax on the 'indirect transfer' by invoking India's domestic tax regulations, companies like S1 have till now argued that under the treaty India has no right to tax gains from indirect transfers. However, in future, the I-T department could assert that the treaty holds only if S1 has substance. But if it doesn't (as per Singapore's terms), S1 cannot avail treaty benefits and must pay tax to India. Here, I-T would challenge that S1 was formed primarily to escape tax. · If S2 directly sells shares of the Indian company, there's no capital gains tax if the shares were bought before 2017 (under a grandfathering provision introduced when the treaty was amended). However, if S2 lacks substance, I-T may demand tax on the grounds that treaty relief can be denied to a shell outfit. · Suppose, S1 sells stocks it directly holds of another company in a third country. S1 can avoid tax in Singapore if it can demonstrate substance. However, if S1 fails the substance test (and is taxed by Singapore), then India would also have strong grounds to demand tax from S1 when it sells shares of S2. · Also, there's an increased risk of double taxation - with India taxing based on source and Singapore taxing based on substance.
