A discussion paper on the new revised Direct Tax Code for 2011 has been unveiled by the government on Tuesday. The new Direct Tax Code is expected to make a lot of changes in the corporate as well as personal income tax calculation and planning.
According to the discussion paper on the new Direct Tax Code for 2011, “The indicative tax slabs and tax rates and monetary limits for exemption and deductions proposed in the direct tax code will be calibrated while finalizing the legislation”.
The first version of the draft of the new tax code was released in the month of August this year and this is the new and revised version of the same. The new direct tax code is expected to be introduced in the Indian Parliament in the next session.

Hello, where to get the details of the direct tax code of 2011?

Kindly tell wether encashment of leave, gratuty and 40% commutation of pension at the time of retirement shall be taxed in new Direct Tax Code-2011
Where are the provisions of Income Tax Settlement Commission? Does the Govt. proposes to do away with the provisions of settlement of cases? Then what prompted the Hon’ble FM to allow search cases entitled for settlement in the recent budget?
Any relief to Senior Citizens ?
Limit in Post Office/Bank to be raised under SCSA and
also in Post Office Monthly Income Scheme.
At least, a Health Insurance Policy covering the existing
ailments should be considered. The CGHS is unable to address to the minimum needs of Sr.Citizens covered under
the CGHS. Something should be done in this direction please.
The provision EEE does not have coverage for senior citizens.
The senior citizens and pensioners are not likely to take sdvantage of PF, 15 year PPF, LIC or Pension Fund Contributions and as a result, they will have to pay taxes,if any, as they cannot avail the above tax relief schemes. The existing NSC, 5 year fixed bank deposit and SCSS instruments should continue to give relief at least to senior citizens. Our dynamic Finance Minister, we hope, will look into this matter.
Its very good that Government is plannong to introduce DTCbut some points ust be taken into consideration that Deductions U/S 80 IA is very good it help to build a bright future by setting up new industries.
Now when, in the proposed DTC draft, the wealth tax threshold amount has been reduced from the earlier proposed of Rs. 50 Crores to Rs. 1 Crores, additional assets proposed to be liable to wealth tax in the earlier version of the DTC draft, have to be dropped and only the assets already taxable should be subjected to the levy of wealth tax. Only then the inflation effect of the economy may be passed on to the assessees as far as the determination of wealth tax liability is concerned.
It is benificial to the salaried person.because salaried person have no option to hiding the income..It is a good planning of mr pranab mukharji, after the amending DTC, all the individuals show more income.so it is really benificiary to the person.
