To discourage cash payments, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has proposed a 2 per cent TDS for cash withdrawal exceeding Rs 1 crore from a particular bank account in one year.
Similarly, to promote digital payments, businesses with turnover of over Rs 50 crore would offer low-cost digital payments for customers. No chargers or merchant discount rates would be imposed on either customers or merchants.
Income Tax filers have also been provided a relief in the returns filing process via pre-filled return forms and PAN-Aadhaar interchangeability. The latter means that in case taxpayers are unable to furnish their PAN details, they can also file returns using their Aadhaar number.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
