Karnataka Minister KJ George calls IT raids 'routine exercise', refuses link to smart meter contract, says there is no connection...
Karnataka's Minister for Energy KJ George New Delhi: In a major development, Karnataka's Minister for Energy KJ George refuted any connection between recent Income Tax department raids at a prominent tech park in Bengaluru and the state's smart meter initiative or the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) and said that they were 'a routine regulatory exercise' related to IT filings and had nothing to do with any government project. In a firm statement issued via his official social media handle, the minister termed the allegations circulating in a section of the media as 'completely baseless, misleading, and politically motivated.' 'There is no connection whatsoever between the smart meter project or BESCOM and the Income Tax department's raids,' George said. 'I strongly condemn this attempt to mislead the public and draw false links to the Energy Department.' This comes after the Income Tax Department conducted surveys from July 28 to 30 at multiple locations connected to George and real estate tycoon Jitu Virwani of the Embassy Group, including Golflinks Software Park Private Limited in Bengaluru. KJ George Issues Statement: In view of the misinformation being circulated regarding myself and the companies under my chairmanship, purportedly in connection with the #SmartMeterInitiative and the #EnergyDepartment of the Government of Karnataka, we wish to issue the following clarification: The recent interaction with the #IncomeTax Department was a routine regulatory exercise solely pertaining to the verification of our companies' income tax filings. There is no connection whatsoever to any government project or department, including the #SmartMeter program or the #EnergyDepartment. Our teams extended full cooperation to the authorities during this scheduled compliance review, consistent with our long-standing commitment to transparency and adherence to the law. We categorically reject and strongly refute any speculative or misleading claims suggesting otherwise. We urge all concerned to exercise discretion and refrain from spreading or endorsing baseless allegations. BJP's Allegation: To recall, in March this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged a massive Rs 15,568 crore scam in Karnataka's smart meter procurement process. The saffron camp accused the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of favouritism and irregularities in the tendering process. Echoing this stance, Golflinks Software Park clarified in an official statement that the survey conducted under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act was routine in nature and 'has no connection to public officials, state government departments, BESCOM contracts, or smart meter-related matters.'

Old vs New Tax Regime: Key Deductions For Taxpayers Earning Rs 12 LPA May End From FY26, Here's Why
Last Updated: Salaried individuals earning up to Rs 12 lakh may soon no longer need old-regime deductions, as the new tax system offers near-zero tax. If you are a salaried employee earning up to Rs 12 lakh annually, this year might be the last time you benefit from deductions under the old tax regime. Starting from the next financial year (FY 2025–26 / AY 2026–27), the new tax regime will make income up to Rs 12 lakh almost tax-free, reducing the need for old-regime tax planning. Currently, you still have the option to choose between the old and new tax regimes when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2024–25 (AY 2025–26). The deadline to file is September 15 this year. But with new changes coming in, many salaried individuals may shift permanently to the new regime next year. The old tax regime allows you to claim several deductions and exemptions: – House Rent Allowance (HRA) – Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) – Interest on home loan (Section 24b) What the New Regime Offers The new tax regime has fewer deductions but higher income thresholds for rebates. Here is how it compares: – Rebate under Section 87A: Rs 5 lakh (old) vs Rs 7 lakh (new) – Standard deduction: Rs 50,000 (old) vs Rs 75,000 (new) – Maximum rebate: Rs 12,500 (old) vs Rs 25,000 (new) While some deductions like the standard deduction (Section 16) apply to both regimes, popular ones like HRA, LTA, and home loan interest are only available under the old regime. Under the new structure, only limited benefits such as employer contribution to NPS (Section 80CCD(2)) and Agniveer Corpus Fund (80CCH(2)) are allowed. Most other tax-saving instruments under Section 80C are excluded. What This Means for You The government is encouraging taxpayers to switch to the simpler new regime, which is more straightforward but doesn't reward investment-based tax savings. For those earning up to Rs 12 lakh, the new system will result in little to no tax, even without claiming deductions. So, if you are filing your return this year using the old regime, make sure you make the most of it, as it could be the last year these tax breaks are available to you. view comments First Published: News business Old vs New Tax Regime: Key Deductions For Taxpayers Earning Rs 12 LPA May End From FY26, Here's Why Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
