Sir.while in service I invested partly in my ppf and my wife ppf. Both combined is within 80 C limit.declared in Iitr. i am now retired .my wife ppf now matured. reinvested wife ppf proceeds jn SCSS In wife name. This interest from SCSS is taxable in whose hands

Ans: In the scenario you described, where your wife's PPF has matured, and the proceeds have been reinvested in the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) in her name, the interest earned from the SCSS would be taxable in her hands.

Since the SCSS is held in your wife's name, any interest earned on the investment would be considered her income for tax purposes. As per the Income Tax Act, the interest earned from SCSS is fully taxable, and it is added to your wife's total income for the financial year in which it is received.

Therefore, when filing taxes, your wife would need to include the interest earned from the SCSS in her income tax return and pay tax on it as per the applicable tax slab rates.

It's essential to keep accurate records of the interest earned from the SCSS and ensure that it is reported correctly in your wife's income tax return to comply with tax regulations. If you have any further questions or need clarification, it's advisable to consult with a tax advisor or financial expert.

I am a retired govt. servant and get pension. Also I get Interest from Deposits, Saving and Acc. Int. I show this income in my Income Tax returns filed in Form ITR-1 SAHAJ. During the current Financial Year I have received the maturity amount of my PPF maintained in the Post Office. Out of the amount received I have a certain amount given as a gift to my spouse. She has invested the said amount received by her from me as a gift in the SCSS A/C and gets interest on that amount. I want to know whether the amount she receives as interest from the amount given by me is to be included in my income and to be shown in the Income Tax Return. If so, at what place i.e. in which column? I have to show the income so included as I do not see such places or column. In which I have to indicate this amount Sr. No. B3 Income from Other Sources along with the Interest received by me from Deposit etc. Since the amount of interest received by my spouse is included in my Income, Whether the said amount is also to be shown in her Income Tax Return or otherwise? As if it is to be shown in her return also then there will be duplication. This clarification is sought as I file my return myself and since the notice I or my wife may not get. I hope you will kindly guide me in this regard and oblige us. Thank you in advance.
Ans: If taxpayer directly or indirectly transfers an asset to spouse for inadequate consideration than Income from such asset is clubbed in the hands of the transferor. Transferor (taxpayer) should show such income in Schedule SPI of Income Tax Return filed by such tax payer in whose hands income is clubbed. No need to show said income in the income tax return of spouse.

Hi, i got 1.4 lakh rank in jee obc rank- 49k I want to pursue cs but getting no good colleges for cs, what are my options? Should i consider newton school of tech? Since many people say its not good idk what to think
Ans: Tarun, With a JEE Main rank of 1.4 lakh (OBC rank 49,000), it is not possible to secure a CSE seat in any NIT or IIIT, as even the least competitive NITs and IIITs close CSE admissions for OBC candidates well below this rank. Alternatives include private universities and state colleges, which accept higher ranks and offer CSE, but may have varying placement outcomes. Newton School of Technology is an emerging ed-tech-driven institution with industry-oriented curriculum, strong mentorship, and a reported 98% placement rate, average package of ?12 lakh, and recruiters like Flipkart, Genpact, and Zomato. Student reviews highlight modern infrastructure, hands-on learning, and personalized mentorship, but also note that placement statistics may be inflated and the brand is still new, lacking the legacy and peer reputation of established universities. The recommendation is to consider Newton School of Technology if you value practical, industry-focused learning and strong placement support, but also apply to reputable private colleges and compare their campus life, alumni network, and placement records before making a final decision. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
