New income tax rules



New income tax rules come into effect from September 1 of 2019. Latest changes explained
By Business League -  September 2, 2019
HIGHLIGHTS
Under new income tax laws, aggregate cash withdrawal beyond a certain threshold in a year from banks, post offices will attract TDS
For TDS calculation from income tax perspective, while buying a property, the buyer has to include payment made for other charges like club membership fee, car parking fee
Some income tax changes announced in this year’s Budget comes from September 1, 2019. The full Budget for this year was presented in July this year. Cash withdrawals exceeding 1 crore in aggregate in a year from finance institutions will attract TDS while in case of property transactions the definition of immovable property has been widened to include charges like club membership fee and car parking fee for TDS levy. Also, in another income tax rule change, a higher TDS will be levied if life insurance maturity proceeds received are taxable in your hands.
Here are 5 changes in income tax rules that come into effect from September 1:
1) The government has introduced a new Section called 194N in income tax laws under which cash withdrawals exceeding 1 crore in aggregate in a year from banks, post offices or co-operative society engaged in carrying on the business of banking will attract a TDS @2. Payments made on or after September 1 will attract the provisions of Section 194N.
The income tax department has clarified that cash withdrawal prior to 1 September, 2019, will not be subjected to TDS under Section 194N. However, since threshold of 1 crore is with respect to the previous year, the calculation of amount of cash withdrawal for triggering deduction under section 194N will be counted from 1 April, 2019.
2) The government has amended 194-IA of Income Tax Act to include all charges of the nature of club membership fee, car parking fee, electricity or water facility fee, maintenance fee, advance fee or any other charges of similar nature, which are incidental to transfer of the immovable property, under immovable property, for levy of TDS. This comes into effect from 1 September. It is to be noted that the TDS is levied @1% if the value of the property exceeds 50 lakh. So now, charges like club membership fee, car parking fee, electricity or water facility fee will also be included for calculation of TDS.
3) The government has introduced a new Section called 194M in income tax laws under which individual is required to deduct TDS @5% for paying a sum in excess of 50 lakh for carrying out any work in pursuance of a contract or by way of fees for professional services during a financial year. Payments made on or after September 1 will attract the provisions of Section 194M.
4) A higher TDS of 5%, from 1% earlier, will be levied if life insurance maturity proceeds received that are taxable in your hands. According to current tax laws, if the annual premium paid on the insurance policy is less than 10% of the sum assured the amount received on maturity are exempt from tax. (For insurance policies purchased before April 2012, the premium must be less than 20% of the sum assured to get the tax benefit on maturity).
It is to be noted that TDS is levied if the maturity proceeds exceeds 1 lakh.
5) In Budget 2019, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had proposed to allow interchangeability between Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar with effect from 1 September 2019.
Those who don’t have PAN can quote Aadhaar in transactions that otherwise require quoting of PAN like cash deposit above 50,000.

Article 370 is no more

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday proposed to scrap Article 370 of the Constitution which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir and said the state will be split into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir with an Assembly and Ladakh without one.With this reform, India now has 28 states and 9 union territories.
What is Article 35A
Article 35A of the Indian Constitution empowers J&K legislature to define state's "permanent residents" and their special rights and privileges. The law was inserted in the Constitution through a Presidential order of 1954 instead of a parliamentary amendment under Article 368.
35A is based on Article 370, a temporary and transitional provision that was included in the Indian Constitution, on the terms negotiated between J&K’s popular leader Sheikh Abdullah and the Centre led by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1949.


Permanent residence status
J&K till now defined its permanent residents as “all persons born or settled within the state before 1911 or after having lawfully acquired immovable property and residence in the state for not less than 10 years or prior to that date”. All emigrants from Jammu and Kashmir, including those who migrated to Pakistan, were considered state subjects. The descendants of emigrants were considered state subjects for two generations.
The law prohibited non-permanent residents from settling permanently in the state, acquiring immovable property, government jobs, scholarships and aid.
Good news for Kashmiri women
The law was discriminatory against the J&K women. It disqualified them from their state subject rights if they married non-permanent residents. But in a landmark judgment in October 2002, the J&K high court held that women married to non-permanent residents will not lose their rights. However, the children of such women don't have succession rights as of now.
Article 35A was also challenged by Kashmiri women married to ‘outsiders’ arguing that the state's permanent residency law, flowing from 35A, had disenfranchised their children.
What is Article 370?
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution is a 'temporary provision' which grants special autonomous status to Jammu & Kashmir. Under Part XXI of the Constitution of India, which deals with "Temporary, Transitional and Special provisions", the state of Jammu & Kashmir has been accorded special status under Art370. All the provisions of the Constitution which are applicable to other states are not applicable to J&K. For example, till 1965, J&K had a Sadr-e-Riyasat for governor and prime minister in place of chief minister.
History of Article 370
After J&K's accession, National Conference leader Sheikh Abdullah (in pic) took over reins from Dogra ruler Maharaja Hari Singh and in 1949, he negotiated the state's political relationship with New Delhi, which led to the inclusion of Article 370 in the Constitution.
Sheikh Abdullah had argued that Article 370 should not be placed under temporary provisions of the
Provisions of Article 370
According to this article, except for defence, foreign affairs, finance and communications, Parliament needs the state government's concurrence for applying all other laws. Thus the state's residents live under a separate set of laws, including those related to citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights, as compared to other Indians. As a result of this provision, Indian citizens from other
What will happen to J&K and Ladakh now
After Kashmir's special status is gone, people from anywhere in India be able to buy property and permanently settle in the state. This has fuelled fear in the mind of Kashmiris — they think it would lead to the state's demographic transformation from majority Muslim to majority Hindu.
A separate Union Territory will be created for Jammu & Kashmir with legislature, Amit Shah has revealed via a notification. "Keeping in view the prevailing internal security situation, fuelled by cross-border terrorism in the existing state of Jammu & Kashmir, a seperate Union Territory is being created", the notification said.
Under the notificaiton, the Ladakh region is also being given the status of a Union Terrority, without legislature. "The Ladakh division has a large area but is sparsely populated with a very difficult terrain. There has been a long-pending demand of people of Ladakh to give it a Union Territory status to enable them to realise their aspiration", it said.
Terror trail
The Jammu and Kashmir government on Friday urged Amarnath Yatra pilgrims to "curtail" their stay and leave the state at the earliest, citing intelligence reports of terror threats. The move by the government came after security forces found a Pakistan-made mine, an M-24 American sniper rifle and a huge cache of arms along the route of the annual pilgrimage. The yatra to the holy Amarnath cave in the mountains of south Kashmir started on July 1 and is scheduled to end on August 15.
Five pilgrims, all belonging to Rajasthan, were injured in a grenade attack by terrorists in 2006. According to media reports, a bus carrying 40 passengers was targeted while returning to Srinagar from Baltal base camp. The Srinagar-Baltal road, which is the main route that pilgrims take, was closed following the attack. However, no outfit claimed responsibility for the attack.

turmericThere is definitely no shortage of scientific evidence these days to show that curcumin, the believed-to-be primary active ingredient in the spice turmeric, holds incredible therapeutic value, and just might be the most advisable medicinal spice of our day. And a prominent medical oncologist from Johns Hopkins University seems to agree, having recently held a large seminar highlighting the incredible ability of curcumin to fight diabetes, inflammation, and even cancer without causing any harmful side effects.
Dr. Saraswati Sukumar’s passion for turmeric is partially rooted in the fact that the spice has long been a staple in traditional Indian cuisine, which is a significant part of her own rich heritage. But Dr. Sukumar has also been studying the unique compositional profile of turmeric, and specifically curcumin, for many years now, which has led her to some fascinating discoveries about its vast potential for use in medicine. Besides quelling inflammatory pain and promoting wound healing, turmeric is a seemingly miraculous anti-cancer nutrient of the highest order.
“We have close to 300 publications (that cite turmeric) for its anti-cancer effects,” Dr. Sukumar is quoted as saying to the Palm Beach Post recently. “Many diseases, such as colon cancer and other types of cancer, are being traced to inflammation.”

Curcumin,arguablythemostpotentanti-cancernutrientinexistence

The inflammation link to cancer is backed by numerous scientific studies, including a 2011 review published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences which found that up to 25 percent of all cancers are caused by chronic inflammation. According to scientists from Ohio State University’s (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center, inflammation triggers an increase in a molecule known as microRNA-155 (miR-155) that causes a reduction in levels of the protein responsible for repairing damaged DNA.
And what about the other 75 percent of cancers? Curcumin appears to have those covered as well. Research released that same year by scientists from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed that curcumin actually seeks out malignant cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in order to kill them. And unlike synthetic anti-cancer drugs, curcumin leaves healthy cells and DNA alone so as not to cause harmful side effects.
“Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) … is one of the most powerful and promising chemopreventive and anticancer agents, and epidemiological evidence demonstrates that people who incorporate high doses of this spice in their diets have a lower incidence of cancer,” explains board-certified clinical nutritionist Byron J. Richards about the power of curcumin to fight cancer.

Curcumin’s health benefits do not stop here, though. The same study that identified curcumin’s gene-regulating abilities in fighting cancer also highlights the nutrient’s ability to regulate a whole host of bodily systems. Based on the available evidence, in others words, there are few conditions that curcumin is unable to effectively mitigate when taken in therapeutic doses, which means adding it to your diet is one of the easiest and most effective ways to promote vibrant health.
“Extensive research over the past five decades has indicated that curcumin reduces blood cholesterol levels, prevents low-density lipoprotein oxidation, inhibits platelet aggregation, suppresses thrombosis and myocardial infarction, suppresses symptoms associated with Type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease; inhibits HIV replication, suppresses tumor formation, enhances wound healing, protects against liver injury, increases bile secretion, protects against cataract formation, and protects against pulmonary toxicity and fibrosis,” explain the researchers about their incredible findings.



10 Principles for Peace of Mind

Life is long and full of challenges. Most of those challenges are internal, and depends on how WE choose to accept and interpet them. Our lives can go on very different paths, depending on what we do and how we look at what happens to us along the way. Here are 10 points of advice that if followed, will guarantee a better life, one that brings with it true peace of mind.

1. Do Not Interfere In Others’ Business Unless Asked.
 
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others’affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction.  No two human beings can think or act inexactly the same way. Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive And Forget.
 
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste on such trifles. Forgive, forget, and march on. Love flourishes with giving and forgiving.


3. Do Not Crave Recognition.
 
This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely.


4. Do Not succumb to envy and jealousy.
 
We all have experienced how envy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you envy?
 
No. Remember everybody’s life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has now become his/her reality. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, it will only take away your peace of mind.
 
 
5. Change Yourself According To The Environment.
 
If you try to change the environment single-handedly, chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem more congenial and harmonious with your goals.
 

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured.
 
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.


7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew.
 
This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. An uncluttered mind will produce greater feelings of peace.

8. Meditate Regularly.
 
Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty three and a half hours. Your mind will not be as easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.
 
 
9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant.
 
An empty mind is the devil’s workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or charity work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement.


10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret.
 
Do not waste time in protracted wondering ”Should I or shouldn’t I?” Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past.
 
DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Why cry over spilled milk?

"Rape" Offence against the Humanity

Human beings though called something different from other animals.  we also have the nature of animals.  Some times they will evolve from our hearts.  The man when become an animal the act of rape will be committed.  We are living in a civilized society.  we are having some norms, customs and traditions.  we in India comparatively other western countries  give more respect for women we compare a girl or a woman with Lakshmi Ma.  Our sastras, puranas and Ithihasas telling us about the VINASANA of a person who becomes STRILOLUDU.  Keechaka, Ravana are the best examples.  

 There should be sever punishment for the culprits.  mere sending the Offenders to Jail does not serve the purpose.  The punishment should be a lessen to the other similar natured people.  If the Punishment is strong people will fear of it and they never do wrongs.

I request the Government to make law to punish the evil minded people seriously.  The law should be equal for both poor and rich people.  We are daily seeing that the Rich people in India easily escaping from punishments.  The Politicians also should be given equal treatment on par with other persons.  

The Bus rape incident in Delhi is inhuman and every human should be condom it.  The offenders should be punished in such a manner that should be a lessen to the people of similar minded.
