Stationed Along LoC, 600 Terrorists Likely to Infiltrate With Pak Army’s Support: Intelligence

As many as 600 terrorists are stationed at various launching pads, dotted along the Line of Control and right up to Jammu, Intelligence agencies have said. These terrorists are poised to infiltrate into the country, said the inputs. A Home Ministry official told Zee News that these terrorists have the backing of Pakistan Army. He said some of these groups also comprise Pakistan Army jawans who are ready for BAT action on the Indian Army.

This is for the first time, since India’s surgical strikes in PoK, that terrorists are present in such a large number along the border. Sources said this has again laid bare now Pakistan’s words and actions don’t match. Imran Khan, Pakistan’s Prime Minister-in-waiting, had the Army’s support which led him to a victory in the country’s general elections held recently. Khan had said he was keen to see Indo-Pak relations improve.

However, terrorist presence along the LoC now belies his comments. In Gurej sector, the launching pad has 67 terrorists. There has also been a movement of 96 terrorists in Machal sector, 112 terrorists in Keran sector, 79 terrorists in Tanghar sector. In Naugham, 52 terrorists have been spotted with Pakistan Army men. In Uri sector, 26 terrorists, comprising LeT and JeM recruits, have been seen.

Likewise, 26 terrorists belonging to LeT have been spotted at the launching pad in Rampur sector. In Poonch, the movement of 43 terrorists has been observed. They belong to LeT, Hizbul and Al-badr. In Krishnaghati sector, 21 terrorists have been spotted along with Pakistan Army presence. As many as 40 terrorists are present in Bimbhar gulley, ready to attack the Indian Army. There are six terrorists in Naushera sector and they all belong to either LeT or JeM. In Sunderbani sector, 16 terrorists are lying in wait.

Sources said that in July, the militants made 47 attempts to infiltrate of which they succeeded 28 times. They are the most active in Machal and Keran sectors, said intel inputs.

Income Tax: Did you get notice under Section 143(1) (a) of I-T Act? Here is what it means

As per latest amendments and provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 with the Assessment Year 2018-19, there are various new provisions related to income tax proceedings and assessment procedure being included.

When a difference of income arises in income tax return with the Form 16, Form 16A and Form 26AS in case of salaried income, Capital gain income.

As per latest amendments and provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 with the Assessment Year 2018-19, there are various new provisions related to income tax proceedings and assessment procedure being included. A new section has been inserted with the assessment year 2018-19 called as 143(1)(a). The provisions of Section 143(1)(a) provides that when an assessee files income tax return for the assessment year 2018-19 onwards, there has to be clarity on the data which is filing in the income tax return. The data should be very authentic.

Why and when a notice u/s 143(1)(a) is issued?
According to the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with section 143(1)(a) where any assessee files its return of income not correctly and by mistakenly it provides the details of income and deductions, in such case the notice would be issued. Sometimes notices under Section 143(1)(a) are issued by Income Tax Department without detailed analysis. Following are some reasons by which notice can be issued:

When a difference of income arises in income tax return with the Form 16, Form 16A and Form 26AS in case of salaried income, Capital gain income.

Income is offered in the income tax return in a different head of income against the section under which TDS has been deducted. For instance TDS deducted u/s 194J and income is shown as Salary in the ITR.

When Business Receipts shown as gross level under the head “Income from business or profession” may not be comparable with the receipts shown in form 16, Form 16A and Form 26AS.

Any items related to P&L such as commission, interest, and revenue etc. shown as net income basis where as in Form16, Form 16A & Form 26AS shown it as gross income basis.

When deductions and exempt allowances claimed at the time of filing of ITR but not available in Form 16.

Income and receipts when offered in previous year and TDS is claimed in financial year, it can also be a reason of issuing the notice under this section.

When we accrue the income on FDR but not shown in the income tax return, due to this variation notice can be issued.

Income which is not taxable in India due to various reasons. For Instance in case of non-resident income would be exempt if in the countries there be DTAA exists.

How to respond

There is a online process to filing the response of the notice with the department. You have to follow the following procedure to make response with the department:
n First of all need to accumulate the return of income which is filed, relevant documents, Form 16A, Form 26AS and find out the reasons of issuance of notice.

Go to ‘e-Proceeding’ menu option and where as you will find ‘e-Assessment option.

After that, you will have to click on adjustments under section 143(1)(a).

After this you will find there are options on the online portal that you have to make response i.e. Agree, Disagree.

If you are agree with the demand or notice which is issued then necessary modifications and adjustment you have to do and have file a revise return with paying also additional tax which department demands.

If you are disagree with the adjustments, then you will have to file the valid reasons thereof of disagreeing of that notice or demand at the online portal.

IAF spent Rs 29 cr to ferry currency post-DeMo: RTI

IAF spent Rs 29 cr to ferry currency post-DeMo: RTI

New Delhi, July 8

Over Rs 29.41 crore was spent on using the Indian Air Force’s ultra-modern transport aircraft — the C-17 and the C-130J Super Hercules — to ferry newly issued Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 currency notes post-demonetisation, according to an RTI reply.The move to scrap old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8, 2016, that saw 86 per cent of the currency being sucked out of the system, needing an urgent operation to replenish it with new Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 notes issued after demonetisation.According to the response provided by the IAF, its frontline transport aircraft, the C-17 and the C-130J Super Hercules, undertook 91 sorties to transport bundles of currency from security printing presses and mints to various destinations across the country after demonetisation.As on November 8, 2016, there were 1,716.5 crore pieces of Rs 500 and 685.8 crore pieces of Rs 1,000 notes in circulation, totalling Rs 15.44 lakh crore, about 86 per cent of the total currency in circulation, according to RBI and government data.In its RTI response to Commodore Lokesh Batra (retd), the IAF said it billed the government-owned Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India and the Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited to the tune of Rs 29.41 crore for its services.“I am of the opinion that the government should have avoided using defence assets and instead could have easily requisitioned the services of civil transport aircraft,” Batra said.This situation could have been avoided, had the government fully prepared itself before making the announcement to demonetise currency notes, he said.Post-demonetisation, the RBI had spent Rs 7,965 crore in 2016-17 on printing new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes, and those of other denomination, more than double the Rs 3,421 crore it had spent in the previous year.The demonetisation was hailed as a step that would curb black money, corruption and check counterfeit currency, but the RBI, in its annual report for 2017, had said just 7.1 pieces of Rs 500 note per million in circulation and 19.1 pieces of Rs 1,000 notes per million in circulation were found to be fake in its sample survey. — PTI91 sorties undertaken

  • Indian Air Force’s the C-17 and C-130J Super Hercules aircraft were deployed to ferry Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 currency notes after demonetisation

This includes a meeting with the Army’s Sukna-based 33 Corps that looks after Sikkim, the site of the Doklam stand-off last year.The maritime dialogue would be at the Joint Secretary-level, sources confirmed; the last one was in 2016. This one comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a keynote address on June 1 at the Shangri La Dialogue in Singapore focusing on the Indo-Pacific region.Modi’s speech had asked countries to follow ‘rules-based’ order and India’s stand of cooperating with the US on the ‘Indo-Pacific’ was considered a counter to China’s growing aggressiveness in that region.On China’s position in the Indo-Pacific waters and the contested South China Sea, a source said, “We have never been critical. We have only asked for a rules-based order.”In the recent past, separate bilateral maritime dialogues have already taken place with France and Indonesia. Sources said that besides China, India would be conducting a similar dialogue with Russia.Meanwhile, the dates for the visit of Lieutenant General Wei are being worked out.
