Dates of CA Final May 2014 Exams, CA Exam Dates May 2014:

There is a lot of confusion about the CA Final May 2014 Exam Dates and IPCC May 2014 Exam Dates due to Lok Sabha Elections. Election Commission has recently announced that Lok Sabha Elections will be held in six phases starting from April 2014 to Mid of May 2014.

So there is most probability of changing of the Exam Dates of CA Final May 2014 and IPCC May 2014 Exam Dates. Normally. ICAI organises the CA Exams that starts from the first 4 days of May to 20th May. But there may be some amendments in the Exam Dates of CA Final Exams of May 2014 due to Lok Sabha Elections. Still, the ICAI has not yet announced any press release or notification related to the Exam Dates of CA Final May 2014 Exams.

These sections contain enabling provisions for electronic filing of annexure-less return of income. Likewise, for promoting electronic filing of annexure-less return of net wealth, new sections 14A and 14B have been inserted in the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 in line with sections 139C and 139D of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Sec 194-IA of Income Tax Act TDS on Immovable Property

Sec 194-IA of Income Tax Act TDS on Immovable Property:

A New Section 194-IA has been inserted in the Income Tax Act, 1961 of India. Section 194 IA is inserted for TDS liability on transfer of Immovable Property other than Agricultural Land.
Tax to be deducted from payment on transfer of certain immovable property other than agricultural land [New Section 194-IA] 
TDS will be deducted at the rate of 1% of the sales consideration amount of immovable property if the sales consideration of such property exceeds RS. 50 Lakhs. Section 194-IA applies all immovable properties other than Agricultural land.
In case of transfer of immovable property by a non-resident, the TDS provisions under section 195 are attracted in the hands of the transferee. However, in case of transfer of immovable property by residents, there is no requirement to deduct tax at source, the only exception being a case of compulsory acquisition of immovable property (other than agricultural land) in respect of which tax deduction is required under section 194LA.


For the twin purposes of having a reporting mechanism of transactions in the real estate sector and also collecting tax at the earliest point of time, new section 194-IA has been inserted to require every transferee responsible for paying any sum as consideration for transfer of immovable property (land, other than agricultural land, or building or part of building) to deduct tax, at the rate of 1% of such sum, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the resident transferer or at the time of payment of such sum to a resident transferer, whichever is earlier.

However, tax is not required to be deducted at source where the total amount of consideration for the transfer of immovable property is less than  Rs. 50 lakh.
