what is 139 (9) income tax notice

Ans: Section 139(9) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, states that when a return is found defective, the Income Tax Department will send a defective notice via email on the registered email id.

A defective return under Section 139(9) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 occurs when crucial information is either omitted or inaccurately entered in an income tax return. This triggers the issuance of a defective return notice by the IT Department, aimed at rectifying the inaccuracies.

Reasons and Situations Leading to Defective Return Notices:

1) Incomplete ITR
2) Missing Tax Information
3)TDS claimed without corresponding income
4)Discrepancy in Gross Receipts
5)Nil Income but tax liabity
6)Incomplete business and profession details
7)Tax payment Discrepancies
8)Mismatch in the name

Receiving and Responding to Defective Return Notices
Responding within a 15-day timeframe is crucial. Taxpayers must rectify the defects identified by the Income Tax Department by revising their return within this period. In case the revision cannot be completed within 15 days, an extension can be requested from the local Assessing Officer.

Is there an option to claim any deduction under Section 89? How can I go about claiming it, or, will I get it only via refund?
Ans: Yes, there is an option to claim a deduction under Section 89 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in specific situations. It applies when you receive income in the current year that was earned in a previous year. This often comes up with:

• Salary arrears: If you receive past due salary in the current year.
• Family pension arrears: If you receive past due family pension in the current year.
• Gratuity: Depending on the duration of your service, you may be able to claim relief under Section 89.
• Other income: There are other types of income covered by Section 89, like premature withdrawal from your PF account, commutation of pension, and compensation on termination of employment.

Here's how you can claim the deduction:

1. Eligibility: Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for claiming relief under Section 89. You can find details on the Income Tax Department website or consult a tax advisor.
2. Form 10E: File Form 10E electronically at the e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department before filing your Income Tax Return.
3. Calculation: The relief amount is calculated by comparing the tax you would have paid in the year the income was earned with the tax you pay in the year you receive it. The difference becomes the relief amount.
4. Tax reduction: The relief amount reduces your taxable income in the current year, ultimately lowering your tax liability.

Refund vs. Reduced Tax Liability:

Whether you receive the benefit as a refund or a reduced tax liability depends on your specific situation. If you already paid taxes on the received income, filing Form 10E will trigger a refund for the relief amount. However, if you haven't paid taxes yet, the relief will directly reduce your tax liability for the current year.

Important notes:

• It's crucial to file Form 10E before filing your Income Tax Return to claim the deduction.
• The process can be complex, so consider consulting a tax advisor for personalised guidance, especially if your situation involves multiple income sources or intricate calculations.

I hope this clarifies the deduction process under Section 89. Remember, this is just general information; consulting a tax advisor is always recommended for accurate and personalised advice based on your specific circumstances.

Sir my self krishna sir can't able focus on studies properly plz give some tips to study for more hours for jee
Ans: Krishna, adhere to the following Strategies/Tips/Steps:

(1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake.
(2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions.
(3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind.
(4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks/junk foods
(5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day.
(6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful).
(7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online
(8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM)
(9) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy

(10) By December-January, attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as,

(a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam
(b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce
(c) which questions you skipped and why?

(11) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also.

(12) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams.
(13) Avoid comparing yourself with other students.

(14) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt\minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after.

I hope I have answered to your question with value additions. All the BEST for your Bright Future.
