To check falsity by salaried taxpayers in claiming deductions, the income tax ( I- T) department has introduced a new form that all employees will need to give their employers this financial year onwards. Along with the new declaration (From 12BB), employees will also need to furnish evidence and information related to the deductions they claim. According to the government notification, if an individual claims housing rent allowance (HRA) of over ? 1 lakh, he or she will need to furnish name, address and permanent account number ( PAN) of the house owner. Those claiming leave travel allowance/ concession ( LTA or LTC) will need to give ‘ evidence of expenditure’. And, if you have a housing loan and claim deduction on the interest, you will need to provide PAN of the lender, along with its name and address.

Unsure of whether the repeated warnings would work, the central bank directed banks that the lenders have to set aside more money for their clients un- hedged exposures. This indirect pressure tactics worked, as capital- deficient banks tightened their pu

To ensure the “highest degree of safety“, Sebi on Wednesday asked clearing corporations to invest their money broadly in fixed deposits, government securities and liquid schemes of debt mutual funds.
