Can the date for filing income tax return be extended?

Image
Bangalore, December 15, 2021, Saturday Thus the financial year runs from March to March. Normally, income tax returns are filed by the end of July, but due to the Corona epidemic, the deadline for filing income tax returns for 2020-21 and filing year 2021-2 was earlier extended to September 30. It was later extended to December 31. There is still speculation that this date may be extended after the two-time filing of returns has been extended. It is argued that by December 15, 2021, 4.5 crore people have filed ITRs for the financial year 2020-21. The deadline for filing a return is now 15 days. An average of 3 lakh returns are being filed daily. As such, the number of people filing returns is likely to be lower than last year. Last year, for the year 2015-20, 25 million people had filed IT returns. The January 31 deadline is not enough for at least that number to be maintained. Based on this, IT file debt is expected to increase. A new portal was launched in June for filing ITR in t...

Government fails to capitalize on IPO boom: only two issues

Image
MUMBAI: Private companies are reaping the most benefits of the initial public offerings (IPOs) boom of 2021 and the government has either been reluctant or lagging behind.

Image
At the bi-monthly review meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) last week, it was decided to keep the policy rates unchanged. This was already expected. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Committee on Policy Rates has not made any change in the policy repo rate and has decided to maintain its moderate stance unless there is a need to support economic growth.

Investors' confidence in IPO increased, not on FD

Image
- Investors move towards IPO and equity market with 'Risk Hai To Isk Hai' attitude In India, fixed deposit is generally regarded as a safe and profitable investment. However, the attractiveness of FDs has diminished in recent years due to lower interest rates. On the other hand, following the bumper returns received by investors from the equity market, especially in the aftermath of the first phase of the Corona epidemic, the Indian public is now investing in IPOs and the secondary equity market with a 'risk hai to isk hai' attitude. Now investors are looking at IPOs as an alternative to FDs. A research report by the State Bank of India also seems to support this. According to a SBI report, bank deposits have fallen sharply by Rs 4.5 lakh crore since Diwali. The SBI research report said that the sharp decline in deposits between November 8-12 was the largest since November 15, the biggest drop in the last three years this fortnight.

Cautious attitude in global equity markets to welcome the new year 2022

Image
- Higher-than-expected inflation rates could prompt global central banks to tighten lending policy ahead of time The new variant of the deadly epidemic Kovid-18 Omikro has once again created an atmosphere of terror in the global economy. In addition, rising inflation and liquidity crises have added fuel to the fire. In the calendar year 2021, the benchmark BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty of the Indian stock market have seen a sharp rise of 20 to 5 per cent. Meanwhile, global equity markets, including India, appear to be on high alert to welcome the new calendar year 207. The main risk, market analysts say, is that the existing vaccine is less effective for a new variant of the Covid-12 transition, Omicron. Rising inflation is also a threat to the asset class in 2021, even though many brokers-traders believe that the current high inflation rate is temporary. However, volatility relative to projected inflation rates could prompt the world's central banks to tighten monetary policy an...

About 70% of the daily trading volume in Indian stock markets is transacted through advanced forms of algo trading. Algo Trading came to India in the year 2006, but then only se...
