(Set up by an Act of Parliament)

July Greetings from CA Ganesh Nadar!

“Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then want to hear the answer” – these words of Ed Cunningham aptly showcase that s e l fl e s s r e l a t i o n s h i p c a l l e d ‘Friendship’ which we shall all becelebrating on 4 August…

Amidst our revelry, let’s pray not only for our farmer community but also for the environment at large that the Monsoon Gods bless us with their bounty.

While the country launched the Chandrayan II Mission and our boys in blue gave a brave fight to the Kiwis in the Queen’s Country; we too proudly rang in the 71 st year of the ICAI Foundation and the second anniversary of the path-breaker GST.

The extension in the deadline (till 31 August) of the New IT Returns System is a welcome breather for us and our clients.

Our ICAI hosted multiple activities in June besides the flagship RRC on GST at Bengaluru. Some of these include - the Certificate Course on Ind-AS; Audit of Info System; Seminar on PMLA and Benami Property; An Industrial Visit to Amul (Anand) for Women CAs along with Budding CAs (their children); Felicitation of our Cricket Team on Winning the Inter Branch Cricket Championship Cup; Meeting of the N e w W I C A S A M a n a g i n g Committee; besides of course celebrating CA Day with a blood donation camp, yoga and health session and a press conference. Then again to enable our community to keep pace with new technologies we had organized a Course on Block-chain Technology for ProfessionalAccountants.

elcome to the second half of the calendar Wyear- it's JULY.

It is the 71st year of foundation of our Institute. C.A. Day is celebrated across all the offices of the institute on 1st of July. Of course we share this date with other noble professional brother i.e. doctors. These two professions have left no stone unturned to look after physical and financial health of the society. We also celebrated this day with numerous different health, spiritual and cultural activities.

1st July also marks second anniversary of GST. The

introduction of GST was a game changer for Indian economy as it has replaced multi-layered, complex indirect tax structure. However, the implementation of GST has not been without challenges especially in the early months, the C.A. once again proved them self as partners in national building by helping in successful implementation of GST. Again the introduction of New Return System may pose new challenges and may unsettle the current flow.

the Modus Operandi for the Auto-reply Function of Google Mail through CannedResponse; and Pearls of Wisdom from Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.

August meaning the month of Shraavan, Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day and Janmashtami also heralds in Bakri Eid for our Muslim brethren and Navroze for our Parsi members. In the midst of all these festivities let us take a minute to remember the Hiroshima Casualties on 6 August; and all those innocent people who have succumbed to acts of terrorism and religion-based-violence on 21 August.

August marks a lot of other special days also for instance – National Handloom Day to revive domestic products and production processes; Biofuel Day to promote use of renewable, sustainable and eco-friendly fuel options; Sport Day to commemorate legendary hockey player Dhyan Chand and of course Photography Day for all of us whose android phones have made them amateur photographers!

In sync with our Mission Statement of ‘Celebrating the Past and Inspiring the Future’ let’s all ring in International Youth Day with the bonhomie it

rightfully deserves! ICAI-Delhi communiqués in this issue include - their own Amazon (!) which is the CDS (Central Distribution System) to make sale of all ICAI publications – faster and easier; and Overseas CampusPlacements for CAs and Inter CAs.While we celebrate our 73rd Independence Day let us remember the immortal words of Peter Marshall- “May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what isright”

That’s all from my desk…Keep reading and contributing to YOUR newsletter!

Approach to upgrade existing Accounting StandardsThe Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS), as notified by the ministry of corporate Affairs in February 2015, are applicable to the specified class of companies. Accounting Standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, and those issued by the ICAI are applicable to entities to whom Ind AS are not applicable.However, on the basis of the discussions held at various standard setting forums, such as, the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), NACAS and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), it had been decided to upgrade Accounting Standards to bring them nearer to Ind AS. In this context the ASB and the Council, ICAI, had finalized the Approach Paper for upgradation of exiting Accounting Standards which provides broad approach which may be followed in the upgradation of the AS.In pursuance to the discussions held at 383rd meeting of the Council held on May, 21, 2019, the Hon'ble President, ICAI, has constituted a Group of Central Council Members (CCMs) to review the same. I have been nominated as a part of the group and would be raising genuine concern of small and medium practitioners. I am of the firm belief that the time is right for India to take lead as a global standard setter not simply emulate and import foreign standards. The impact of this exercise would be huge since basic accounting standards that are applicable to firms/ proprietors / non corporate entities would be affected. It will have an impact on the entire accounting landscape.

Income Tax Updates

1. Circular No. 11/2019 dated 19.06.2019 - Clarification regarding non-allow ability of set-off of losses against the deemed income under section 115BBE of the Income-tax Act, 1961 prior to assessment-year 2017-18-reg.With effect from 01.04.2017, sub-section (2) of section 115BBE of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act) provides that where total income of an assesse includes any income referred to in section(s) 68/69j69A/69B/69Cj69D of the Act, no deduction in respect of any expenditure or allowance or set off of any loss shall be allowed to the assesse under any provisions of the Act in computing the income referred to in section 115BBE(1) of the Act.Thus keeping the legislative intent behind amendment in section 115BBE(2) vide the Finance Act, 2016 to remove any ambiguity of interpretation, the Board is of the view that since the term 'or set off of any loss' was specifically inserted only vide the Finance Act 2016, w.e.f. 01.04.2017, an assesse is entitled to claim set-off of loss against income determined under section 115BBE of the Act till the assessment year 2016-17.https://incometaxindia.gov.in/communications/circular/circular_11_2019.pdf2.

Various recommendations made by the C&AG in its Report have been duly considered by the Board.

Please refer the below mentioned link.https://incometaxindia.gov.in/communications/circular/circular_12_2019.pdf3. Press Release dated 24.06.2019 – E-filing of Income TaxRecently, in January, 2019, the Government has approved Integrated E-filing & Centralized Processing Centre (CPC) 2.0 Project of the Income Tax Department. The details of the CPC 2.0 Project are:i. CPC 2.0 Project envisages pre-filling of ITRs by the Income-tax Department and its acceptance by the taxpayer so as to improve accuracy of information contained in the Return and drastically reduce the existing

turnaround time taken in processing of Returns and issuance of refunds.ii. CPC 2.0 Project will process ITRs in a consistent, uniform, rule driven, identity blind manner. This would ensure fairness in tax treatment to all taxpayers irrespective of their status.iii. The CPC 2.0 Project would significantly improve transparency and accountability of Income-tax Department as processing of returns and issuance of refunds would take place without any interface with the Department.iv. CPC 2.0 Project would adhere to international best practices and standards. It would keep the taxpayer informed by providing processing status update, speedy communication using mobile app, email, SMS and through website of the Income-tax Department.v. CPC 2.0 Project envisages setting up of integrated contact centres for taxpayer's assistance and undertaking outreach programs involving taxpayers and other stakeholders through digital media in an effective manner.Thus, CPC 2.0 Project besides promoting the Government objective of promoting voluntary tax-compliance culture would also smoothen the process of e-filing and processing of ITRs and will also bring about a significant enhancement in services to the taxpayers.http://www.pib.nic.in/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=15754824.

At present there is no liability on an individual or Hindu undivided family (HUF) to deduct tax at source on any payment made to a resident contractor or professional when it is for personal use. Further, if the individual or HUF is carrying on business or profession which is not subjected to audit, there is no obligation to deduct tax at source on such payment to a resident, even if the payment is for the purpose of business or profession. Due to this exemption, substantial amount by way of payments made by individuals or HUFs in respect of contractual work or for professional service is escaping the levy of TDS, leaving a loophole for possible tax evasion. To plug this loophole, it is proposed to insert a new section 194M in the Act to provide for levy of TDS at the rate of five per cent. on the sum, or the aggregate of sums, paid or credited in a year on account of contractual work or professional fees by an individual or a Hindu undivided family, not required to deduct tax at source under and 194J of the Act, if such sum, or section 194Caggregate of such sums, exceeds fifty lakh rupees in a year. However, in order to reduce the compliance burden, it is proposed that such individuals or HUFs shall be able to deposit the tax deducted using their

Permanent Account Number (PAN) and shall not be required to obtain Tax deduction Account Number (TAN).

For this purpose “contract” shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (iii) of the Explanation to section 194C;

For this purpose “professional services” shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (a) of the Explanation to section 194J.

TDS shall be deducted at the time of credit of such sum or at the time of payment of such sum in cash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier.

stThis amendment will be effective from 01 September,

2019.

country deposits the ratified copy with the OECD. In context of India, for few of the CTA's depending upon the date of deposit of ratified copy with the OECD, the provisions of MLI will be effective from 1st April 2020. Once the MLI will be effective, the provisions of MLI shall affect the provisions of the relevant tax treaties.

[email protected]

Contributed by

CA. CS. Hemlata Dewnani

Technique of the month

his feature works by setting up a filter in Gmail Tso that when certain conditions are met (like when a specific person emails you or the email

has specific subject ), a message of your choosing is automatically sent back to that address; these are called canned responses.In our field we can use it for sending the list of documents required for company registration who send us mail with subject registration or Auto reply for job placements , Data or content sharing in the lecture etc. Its like codeword used for data Sharing Go to Settings > Advanced > Select Enable Canned responses (Templates ) > Save changes . Now that ‘Canned Responses’ are enabled, you can create a new email by clicking the ‘Compose’ icon in the upper left hand corner and typing out the message you want to be automatically sent out. Once you’re finished, click on the three dots in the email window to bring up the email options. Select ‘Canned responses’ and then ‘ save draft as Template ' and than ' Save as new Template '. This email will be automatically saved in Drafts .Attaching files: you cannot auto email attachments. So, any text within the canned response will send out but not any attachments; this includes inline images as well. For this if you want to send attachments you can copy the shareable link in the template mail

Go to settings > Filters and blocked Addresses > Create a filter > Define the criteria for the email you'd like to reply automatically in the box that pops up as shown in the below screen. To send Auto reply to certain subject i.e mention the word in subject line that is registration in our case and press create filter (as shown in below image )

We can also create filter with different perspective and options also as shown in picture such as to, sender that is if you want to reply only to the specific person or has the words etcSelect the box to the left of Send Template it to, select the canned response from the drop-down list, and select Create filter. Email matching the criteria you've set will now get Canned response .i.e only mails having word registration in subject line.If you want to stop sending the canned response than there are three optionsA. Delete the Draft mailB. Delete the filter created for specific criteriaC. Disable Canned response from Advanced > Settings Canned responses originate from an address that's still yours, of course, but with a slightly altered email address. For example, if your normal address is [email protected], sending out auto emails will change the address to [email protected] Live check it by sending a mail at my registered mail id [email protected] with a subject catalyst and you will get the Auto reply from it

JULY- 2019

It is unnecessary for each individual to have their own purpose. Life has its own purpose and it’s our business to fulfil it.

If your life is an ‘expression of joy’ then you don’t look what you can do, you look at what is needed to be done and you do that well.

Life is long for miserable people. If you are a joyful human being it’s very brief.

We make up things to identify overself with many things that we are not. We need to start identifying things about ourself.

If you want to function at highest level, you must discover yourself. An individual is in-divisible who can’t be reinvented but has to be rediscover.

The moment you took an identity, your mind works only around what you are identified with but there is something more fundamental which is the individual.Discover the deeper potential in yourself. Never go out to be like somebody else. Be yourself in your full potential.

If you want to know life in its entirety, you need to know other dimensions of intelligence.

Human intellect functions only from the limited data that is gathered. It can’t explore anything entirely new so don’t limit yourself by intellect. Employ your intelligence without the limitation of intellect.

Put your hundred percent efforts. Don’t leave proportion of your energy and capability to luck.

You need to put right kind of effort at right time and right place. Just labour is not going to take you anywhere.

You should constantly look for ways to enhance your perception and intelligence. Do not try to become capable of something and rest will happen anyway.You should not be aspiring for success. It’s a miserable way to structure your life.

If you are consistently concious about your mortality then there is no way you can’t look at deeper dimensions of life.

7 Rules of Success From: SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV

1. Be an Individual2. Build the Pride3. Don’t take life seriously4. Don’t wait for Disaster to strike5. Don’t complain6. Fix your inner self7. Success is the ideal
