Hello Tejas, My childr is currenly studying in the US. I have made two remittances overseas, for her tution and maintenance fee, during the finacial year 2022-23. A certain percentage of the amount has been deducted as tax, by the bank. The bank has also issued a certificate for this deduction. This I think is refundable under the current RBI remittance rule. How can I seek a refund of this amount from the income tax department. Thank you

Ans: Tax deduction is not applicable if the funds are remitted abroad for maintenance and education purposes, abroad.
Since, bank has deducted the same , it may be claimed as refund, if you do not have any other tax payable.

I am a retired male senior citizen. I filed my income tax return for AY 2022-23 in form ITR-1 on 22nd July 2022 with NET Taxable income of 427200 with a mention of 5070 for rebate under 80 D towards my mediclaim insurance annual premium. Before doing the e-verification on line through Aadhaar linkage I noticed that my actual mediclaim insurance premium is 7070 which I had erroneously mistyped as 5070. So instead of e-verifying my above erroneous filing I filed a Revised Return on 20th August 2022 correcting the 80 D rebate claim to 7070 and the Net Taxable income became 425200. I e-verified this Revised Return immediately on line through Aadhaar linkage. Within 2 days of my filing this Revised Return I got an assessment Email from Income tax department where they have treated this Revised Return as Late filed Original Return and imposed a late fee penalty of 1000 and issued a Refund Order of my TDS. As such on my Net Taxable income of 427200 as per Original Return or 425200 as per Revised Return Income Tax is '0'. It appears that since I didn't e-verify my Original Return they have treated Revised Return as Late filed Original Return and imposed late fee of 1000. Now I am getting repeated emails from Income Tax department that I have not e-verified my Original Return of 22nd July. Can I e-verify my Original Return now and claim Refund of the 1000 Late Fee deducted by them? Shall be grateful for guidance and advice.

Ans: Return is taken up for processing only when it is verified. As revised return is verified before verifying original return, revised return is considered as original return. So in my view, even if original return is verified now, late fee will not be waived off as original return is considered to be filed after due date.

Good evening Anil, I have made a remittance of around Rs 30 lakh abroad for education of my ward partly through FlyWire and balance through my bank account. Tax has been deducted. My question is which form shall I choose for filing my IT Return and where do I report the remittance? I am a retired PSU employee. Thanks for your help.

Ans: Hi, whenever you make a foreign remittance, you are required to file a declaration form (Form 15 CA). This should be done every time you make a foreign remittance and can be submitted online through your e- filing portal. Since you have transferred above 30 lakh, TCS (tax cleared at source) of o.5% is applicable (since this is education purpose).

To claim the TCS credits, you can use the ITR that you normally use. If your income consists only of pension and interest and you have not more than one income from house property, you can use ITR-1.
