13. Clarity in Taxation of Income on Redemption of Unit Linked Insurance Policy (ULIP)
Q1. What are the provisions relating to amounts received under a life insurance policy?
Ans. Section 10(10D) provides income-tax exemption on the sum received under a life insurance policy, including any bonus, subject to certain conditions.
Q2. What conditions must be fulfilled to claim exemption under Section 10(10D)?
Ans. To claim the exemption, the following conditions must be met:
The annual premium for any year during the policy term should not exceed 10% of the actual sum assured (for policies issued on or after 01.04.2012).
For policies issued after 01.02.2021, the total premium must not exceed ₹2,50,000 (for ULIPs) or ₹5,00,000 (for other life insurance policies) to qualify for exemption.
Q3. What happens if the conditions under Section 10(10D) are not fulfilled?
Ans. If the above conditions are not met, then:
For ULIP policies, the amount received will be taxed as capital gains under Section 45(1B).
For other life insurance policies, the income will be taxed under “Income from Other Sources”.
Q4. What changes have been introduced through the Finance Bill 2025?
Ans.
Previously, even if the ULIP premium exceeded 10% of the sum assured, the redemption amount was not explicitly taxed under “Capital Gains.” This led to ambiguity regarding its tax treatment.
Finance Bill 2025 clarifies that any sum received from a non-exempt ULIP policy will be taxed as capital gains.
This ensures uniform tax treatment for all ULIP policies, eliminating any confusion.
Thus, if the exemption under Section 10(10D) does not apply, the income received will be taxed as:
Capital Gains (for ULIP policies)
Income from Other Sources (for non-ULIP life insurance policies)

Founders, trustees, and managers remain fully covered under existing restrictions.
15.Obligation to Furnish Information on Crypto Assets

Investing money wisely is crucial for financial security, and individuals choose from various options like mutual funds, stocks, real estate, gold, government schemes, and fixed deposits (FDs). While mutual funds and stocks offer higher returns, they come with market risks. Gold and real estate provide stability but require significant capital and have liquidity constraints. On the other hand, fixed deposits (FDs) remain a preferred investment choice for many due to their safety, assured returns, and ease of access. However, interest earned on FDs is subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), which can reduce your returns
Fixed Deposit (FD) interest is subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) if it exceeds a certain threshold. The Finance Act 2025 has introduced key changes in TDS rules, including increase in the TDS threshold for interest under Section 194A. These changes will be effective from April 1, 2025.
Important Change from 1st April 2025: Increase in TDS Threshold on FD Interest (Section 194A)
Current Rule (Before April 1, 2025):
TDS is deducted at 10% if interest on FD exceeds:
₹40,000 for regular individuals
₹50,000 for senior citizens
New Rule (Effective April 1, 2025):
The threshold for TDS deduction is increased to ₹50,000 for regular individuals.
For senior citizens, the Increased to ₹1,00,000.
This means fewer people will have TDS deducted on their FD interest.
2. How to Save TDS on FD Interest?
If your total income is below the taxable limit, you can submit Form 15G or Form 15H to your bank to avoid TDS deduction on FD interest.
You can download the form from your bank’s website or submit it online via net banking.
Submit the form at the beginning of the financial year to avoid unnecessary TDS deductions.
The form needs to be submitted every financial year.
(C) Example on How Form 15G/15H Helps
Case 1: Rohan (aged 45) earns ₹45,000 as FD interest but has no other taxable income.
Without Form 15G, the bank will deduct 10% TDS on ₹5,000 (₹45,000 – ₹40,000 threshold).
If he submits Form 15G, no TDS will be deducted.
Case 2: Meera (aged 65) earns ₹1,10,000 as FD interest, but her total taxable income is ₹3,80,000 (below ₹4 lakh).
Without Form 15H, the bank will deduct 10% TDS on ₹10,000 (₹1,10,000 – ₹1,00,000 threshold).
If she submits Form 15H, no TDS will be deducted.
Fixed deposits remain a reliable investment choice for those seeking safety and steady returns. However, TDS on FD interest can reduce your earnings, especially if your total income is below the taxable limit. With the Finance Act 2025increasing the TDS threshold under Section 194A from ₹40,000 to ₹50,000 for individuals (₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 for senior citizens), fewer taxpayers will be affected by automatic TDS deductions. Additionally, submitting Form 15G (for individuals below 60) and Form 15H (for senior citizens) can help eligible investors avoid unnecessary tax deductions. By understanding these rules and using tax-saving strategies wisely, you can maximize your FD returns and improve your financial planning.

When it comes to business transactions, the term “purchase” is commonly used to refer to the act of acquiring goods or services in exchange for payment. In this context, a purchase invoice plays a crucial role in documenting the details of a purchase and ensuring proper record-keeping.
What is a Purchase Invoice?
A purchase invoice, also known as a supplier invoice or vendor invoice, is a document provided by a seller to a buyer that outlines the details of a purchase transaction. It serves as evidence of the agreement between the buyer and the seller, including the items purchased, quantities, prices, payment terms, and any applicable taxes or discounts.
The purchase invoice is typically generated by the seller and sent to the buyer after the goods or services have been delivered or rendered. It is an important piece of documentation for both parties involved, as it helps facilitate accurate bookkeeping, inventory management, and financial reporting.
The Purchase Process
The purchase process encompasses the series of steps involved in acquiring goods or services for a business. While the specific steps may vary depending on the organization and industry, the general process typically includes the following:
Identifying the Need: The first step in the purchase process is identifying the need for a particular product or service. This could be prompted by factors such as inventory depletion, new project requirements, or customer demand.
Supplier Selection: Once the need is identified, the next step is to select a suitable supplier. This involves evaluating factors such as price, quality, reliability, and delivery terms.
Negotiation and Purchase Order: After selecting a supplier, the buyer may engage in negotiations to agree on the terms of the purchase, including price, quantity, delivery schedule, and payment terms. Once the terms are finalized, a purchase order is typically issued to the supplier.
Goods or Services Delivery: The supplier then delivers the goods or provides the agreed-upon services to the buyer. This step may involve physical shipment, digital delivery, or on-site service provision.
Receipt and Inspection: Upon receiving the goods or services, the buyer inspects them to ensure they meet the agreed-upon specifications and quality standards. Any discrepancies or issues are typically communicated to the supplier for resolution.
Invoice and Payment: Once the buyer is satisfied with the received goods or services, the supplier issues a purchase invoice. The buyer then processes the invoice, verifies its accuracy, and proceeds with the payment according to the agreed-upon terms.
Record-Keeping and Reconciliation: Both the buyer and the seller maintain records of the purchase transaction for accounting and reconciliation purposes. This includes keeping copies of the purchase invoice, purchase order, payment receipts, and any related correspondence.
Benefits of Purchase Invoices
Purchase invoices offer several benefits to businesses, including:
Accurate Financial Reporting: Purchase invoices provide detailed information about the expenses incurred by a business, allowing for accurate financial reporting and analysis.
Audit Trail: Purchase invoices serve as an audit trail, documenting the flow of goods and services between the buyer and the seller.
Inventory Management: Purchase invoices help businesses keep track of their inventory levels by providing information on the quantity and cost of goods purchased.
Tax Compliance: Purchase invoices include details of any applicable taxes, helping businesses ensure compliance with tax regulations and facilitating the claiming of input tax credits.
Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute or discrepancy, purchase invoices provide a clear reference point for resolving issues between the buyer and the seller.
Conclusion
Purchase invoices play a vital role in the purchase process, documenting the details of a transaction and facilitating accurate record-keeping. Understanding the purchase process and the importance of purchase invoices can help businesses maintain efficient operations, financial transparency, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

When it comes to running a successful business, effective inventory management is crucial. But what exactly is inventory? In simple terms, inventory refers to the goods and materials that a company holds for production, sales, or any other purpose related to its operations. It can include raw materials, work-in-progress items, finished products, and even supplies needed for day-to-day operations.
Why is Inventory Management Important?
Inventory management plays a vital role in the overall success of a business. Here are a few reasons why it is important:
Meeting customer demands: By having the right amount of inventory on hand, businesses can fulfill customer orders promptly and efficiently. This helps in maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Reducing costs: Proper inventory management helps in minimizing costs associated with holding excess inventory or stockouts. It allows businesses to optimize their inventory levels and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Optimizing production: With effective inventory management, businesses can ensure that they have the necessary raw materials and components to maintain a smooth production process. This prevents delays and disruptions.
Forecasting and planning: By analyzing inventory data, businesses can make informed decisions regarding future production, sales, and procurement. This helps in creating accurate forecasts and efficient planning.
Key Elements of Inventory Management
Inventory management involves various elements that work together to ensure efficient control and utilization of inventory. Here are some key elements:
Inventory Tracking
Accurate inventory tracking is essential for effective management. This involves keeping a record of all incoming and outgoing items, including quantities, dates, and locations. Inventory tracking can be done manually or by using specialized software or systems.
Inventory Classification
Inventory classification helps in categorizing items based on their value, demand, and other factors. This allows businesses to prioritize their inventory management efforts and allocate resources accordingly. Common classification methods include ABC analysis, where items are classified as A, B, or C based on their importance and value.
Inventory Replenishment
Inventory replenishment involves determining when and how much inventory needs to be ordered to maintain optimal stock levels. This is often based on factors such as lead time, demand forecasting, and reorder points. Implementing efficient replenishment strategies helps businesses avoid stockouts and excess inventory.
Inventory Optimization
Inventory optimization focuses on finding the right balance between inventory levels and customer demand. It involves analyzing data and using various techniques, such as economic order quantity (EOQ) and just-in-time (JIT) inventory management, to minimize costs while meeting customer needs.
Benefits of Effective Inventory Management
Implementing effective inventory management practices can bring several benefits to a business:
Improved cash flow: By minimizing excess inventory and optimizing stock levels, businesses can free up cash that would otherwise be tied up in inventory.
Reduced holding costs: Holding excess inventory can lead to additional costs such as storage, insurance, and obsolescence. Effective inventory management helps in reducing these costs.
Enhanced customer satisfaction: With the right inventory levels, businesses can fulfill customer orders promptly, leading to higher customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Increased operational efficiency: Efficient inventory management streamlines production, reduces lead times, and minimizes disruptions, resulting in improved operational efficiency.
Conclusion
Inventory management is a critical aspect of running a successful business. By understanding what inventory is and implementing effective inventory management practices, businesses can improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and optimize their operations.
