My current organisation has deducted my TDS for the FY 2021-22 and still not deposited. Kindly advice repercussions could be and how to take it forward with my company.

Ans: I hope you have filed your ITR and claimed said TDS in ITR. If TDS is not deposited by employer, it will not appear in 26AS and you will not be able to get credit of the same. Thus, it is advisable to keep written communication with employer, requesting to deposit TDS and provide Form 16 downloaded from traces (income tax website) at the earliest.

If said TDS is not deposited within reasonable time, you have to contact CPC department of Income Tax.

Through telephonic talk you have to explain the issue and request them to transfer your ITR to jurisdictional assessing officer (AO) so you can get TDS credit.

Once ITR is transferred to AO, you can explain to issue to AO, file copy of your communication with employer along with documents related salary and TDS deducted.

You can request AO to grant credit and communicate with your employer for depositing the TDS amount.

SIR , I am a Senior Citizen retired from service in January 2020 ,ITR for AY 2020-21, 2021-22 & 2022-23 filed in time and eligible for return of excess deposit of TAX in every AY. Deposit of TDS with TAN NO all are shown in 26 AS and also showing in ITR calculation but TAX AUTHORITY is not considering the CREDIT of TDS deposited by Deducting Authority and claiming for DEPOSIT the full amount instead of RETURNING the EXCESS DEDUCTION of TDS.. many times it is being complain in Grievance Cell but no correction is being done by ITR BANGALORE AUTHORITY and every time claim are showing as it is. Please advice me how it can be settled and can get return of my excess deductions of TDS . Regards ATANU KUMAR NAYAK,
Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're facing with the tax authority. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Verify the TDS credit: Check if the TDS credit shown in your Form 26AS matches the TDS amount shown in your Form 16/16A or any other TDS certificate issued to you by the deductor. If there is any discrepancy, you may need to contact the deductor and get the correct TDS certificate.

Raise a grievance: If you have already verified the TDS credit and found it to be correct, you can raise a grievance with the tax authority. You can do this online by logging into the e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department and submitting a grievance under the 'e-Nivaran' tab. Provide all the relevant details and documents to support your claim.

Follow up: After raising the grievance, you may need to follow up with the tax authority to ensure that your issue is being addressed. You can track the status of your grievance online using the grievance ID provided to you.

Seems you have followed all the above steps. In my opinion, instead of filling grievance, you may have opted for rectification under provisions of section 154 of the Income tax Act, 1961.
You may visit, "Work-listing" or "e-proceedings" or "Under respond to outstanding demand", which will navigate you to another page, where in you will be taken to the "Agree/ disagree with the demand" . You may disagree in full or in partial and there would be number of options that would be auto populated , from which you may select , "Rectification", basis rectification filled as explained above. In rectification, you may have to select the option, TDS mismatch, which will navigate you to the page which will display, difference if any between TDS claimed and TDS allowed by the Central Processing.

I hope the above step may resolve your issue.

Hello Sir, I am looking at imvesting around Rs.20,000 per month in SIP with good returns and overall balanced portfolio along with some us stock exposure (Parag Parikh kind of funds). Please provide your valuable suggest in which mutual funds should I invest or is ETF better option
Ans: When considering your investment strategy, actively managed funds can offer distinct advantages over ETFs. Actively managed funds are overseen by professional fund managers who actively research and select investments they believe will outperform the market. This active management can potentially lead to higher returns compared to passively managed ETFs.

Furthermore, actively managed funds have the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions and exploit emerging opportunities. Fund managers can adjust their portfolios in response to market trends, economic indicators, and company-specific developments, aiming to optimize returns while managing risk.

On the other hand, ETFs, while offering low expense ratios and broad market exposure, often deliver only mediocre returns. Since they passively track an index, ETFs are unable to take advantage of market inefficiencies or capitalize on undervalued securities in the same way actively managed funds can.

Considering your desire for balanced returns and exposure to US stocks akin to Parag Parikh-like funds, actively managed funds offer a more suitable option. They provide the potential for superior performance while aligning with your investment objectives and preferences. Working with a Certified Financial Planner can help you identify the most appropriate actively managed funds to include in your portfolio.

Hello, I am 25 years old. Due to personal reasons I invest in only 100% equity mutual funds that do not invest in banking stocks. Currently I am investing in 3 mutual funds: Nippon India Power & Infra direct growth, Taurus Ethical fund and Tata Ethical fund. I have set Tata ethical fund aside as a retirement fund. Can you suggest where can I invest more (sectoral mfs or gold etf etc.)to correctly diversify my portfolio.
Ans: Given your current allocation to 100% equity mutual funds without exposure to banking stocks, let's explore other avenues for diversification while respecting your investment preferences.

One option is to consider adding a component of debt instruments to your portfolio. Debt mutual funds can provide stability and income generation, complementing the growth-oriented equity funds you're already invested in. Look for funds with high-quality debt securities and a track record of consistent returns.

Another avenue to explore is allocating a portion of your portfolio to gold. Gold ETFs or sovereign gold bonds can act as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, diversifying your portfolio and reducing overall risk.

Additionally, you might consider increasing your exposure to international equities. Investing in global markets can provide access to a broader range of opportunities and reduce reliance on any single market or economy.

Ultimately, the key is to maintain a balanced portfolio that aligns with your risk tolerance and long-term financial goals. Consulting with a Certified Financial Planner can help you navigate these options and tailor a diversified investment strategy that suits your needs.

I have a lumpsum amount of 20lakh to invest but have no idea how to invest to get a steady monthly income.
Ans: It's understandable to feel uncertain about how to make your lump sum work for you. As a Certified Financial Planner, I'm here to help navigate this journey with you. Have you considered the power of diversification?

Diversification is like spreading your bets across multiple horses in a race rather than putting all your money on just one. In the investment world, it means allocating your funds across different types of assets like stocks, bonds, and maybe even commodities or real estate investment trusts (REITs). This way, if one asset underperforms, others may compensate, reducing overall risk.

Active funds are managed by professional fund managers who actively research and select investments they believe will outperform the market. This active management can potentially lead to higher returns compared to simply tracking an index.

Regular funds, accessed through a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD), provide a structured approach to investing. Your MFD can offer personalized advice and support, helping you navigate the complexities of the market and make informed decisions.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a portfolio that balances risk and reward, tailored to your unique circumstances and financial goals. Together with a Certified Financial Planner and your MFD, we can design a strategy that aims to provide you with a steady monthly income while safeguarding your financial future.
