No penalty for missed income tax deadlines? Panel suggests in New Tax Bill
A Parliamentary panel examining the new Income Tax Bill has advised the Finance Ministry to allow individuals to file returns and claim TDS refunds even after the deadline, without facing penalties, reported by The Times Of India. It has also backed tax relief on anonymous donations made to trusts that work for both religious and charitable suggestions come from the Select Committee, which has studied the new Income Tax Bill, 2025. This new Bill is meant to replace the old Income Tax Act of to Preeti Sharma, Partner, Tax and Regulatory Services, BDO India, 'The Select Committee conducted comprehensive review of Income-tax Bill. After considering the inputs provided by various stakeholders such as domain experts, tax practitioners, industry representatives, tax officers and Non-profit organisations, the Committee presented its comprehensive report in PENALTY FOR LATE REFUND CLAIMS At present, if you have paid tax through TDS but your total income is not taxable, you still have to file an income tax return on time to get your money back. If you miss the deadline, you may not get the refund and could even face legal action. The committee feels this is unfair, especially for small taxpayers who do not otherwise need to file they have asked the government to scrap the rule that forces people to file returns just for claiming refunds. This means taxpayers who missed the deadline could still get their TDS refunds without DONATIONS TO STAY TAX-FREEThe committee has also flagged a new tax rule in the Bill that says all registered non-profit organisations (NPOs) would pay 30% tax on anonymous donations. The only ones spared would be purely religious bodies. But many trusts in India do both religious and charitable work panel says taxing such donations goes against the idea of taxing only real income. Many trusts receive cash donations where donor names cannot be recorded, such as during temple visits or community events. The committee feels these funds should stay tax-free, just like they are under the current present, the 1961 Act allows religious-cum-charitable trusts to get anonymous donations without tax, except in cases where the money is meant for schools, colleges, hospitals or similar places run by the trust. The committee wants this clarity added back into the new Bill to protect such believes the new Bill missed this point while trying to make the tax law simpler, which could hurt many genuine non-profits. It has urged the government to bring back the same rule in the new law so that these organisations do not lose out.'Now the Lok Sabha has to debate the recommendations and identify the changes that are required in the current Bill to make it futuristic and relevant for common tax-payers. It is highly desirable to defunct the old law and bring a new law which is transparent, easy to comprehend, in line with current business requirements and help to reduce tax disputes,' said Finance Ministry will now study these suggestions before finalising the new Income Tax Bill.- Ends

'All Good Things Come To An And': Williamson's Emotional Take On Kohli's Retirement
Last Updated: Virat Kohli's Test retirement shocked fans, but Kane Williamson praised him for quitting on his terms. BCCI denied any pressure, calling the decision entirely Kohli's own. India's ongoing England tour is the first since 2014 without Virat Kohli. The legendary batter hung up his boots a couple of months ago, signing off from the format he loved the most. Now that he is no longer a part of the dressing room in Tests, be it fans or experts, the former India captain is being sorely missed. Kohli's decision was a shocker for the lovers of the game. He retired with 9230 runs in 123 Tests at an average of 46.9. He smashed 30 centuries in the format – the last one coming in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Meanwhile, New Zealand batter Kane Williamson recollected his memories with Kohli, on and off the field, since their under-19 days. Speaking with The Times Of India, the former Black Caps skipper said it's an incredible thing that someone like Kohli walked away on his own terms. 'Your careers have kind of married up from under 19s through to captaining or playing for your country. Then in the captain instance that we did that… were very similar times to the natural progression. Everybody finishes," Williamson was quoted as saying. 'When some of those decisions are made, it does stop you and make you consider a lot of things, but also appreciation and respect. Someone like Virat.. so many great moments throughout the international game, but really the bond outside of the pitch is something that's far more special and those experiences that have been shared together. 'All good things come to an end, and the way he's been able to make those decisions that feel comfortable to him… I think it's been incredible going out on his terms, etc. Although still involved in one of the formats," he concluded. Virat Kohli's Test retirement ahead of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 sparked rumours of a forced exit, but BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla rubbished the claims, reiterating the board never dictates retirements. Kohli's final red-ball appearance came in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia, where he scored 190 runs, including an unbeaten century in the opener. India lost the series 1-3, with Australia booking their spot in the WTC final. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 15:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

So, it took many years to get used to a lot of things, and to understand how the industry functions and works. It has also been a very difficult and a very lonely task to manoeuvre and navigate so many things because when you're not from the inside, you don't have anybody to really discuss things with, seek advice from." She added, "There have been so many instances in my career where I wish I could have had guidance, I wish I could have had people from the inside of the industry help me out. In my experience, it's best to listen to your gut and intuition for your own career." Furthermore, she said that it becomes a little bit easier for people who come from a filmy background as they have a lot of inside information. Work Tara Sutaria's last release was the 2023 survival thriller Apurva. She is now gearing up for Awarapan 2, which is a sequel to Emraan Hashmi's 2007 hit film.
