As we have already studied, tax rates increase from 10% to 20% and then to 30%,
people may try to avoid tax by transferring their income to relatives specially wife and
children.
In order to avoid such practices of tax avoidance, provisions of clubbing of income is
prescribed in Section 60-65 of Income tax act.
The main theme behind the provisions is that if assessee transfers his income in favour
of wife or children etc. by gifting the properties etc then income from such properties
shall be taxed in the hands of assessee and not in the hands of wife / children etc.
Transferred income is taxable in the hands of transferor and not transferee (like wife or
children)

Q 24 : Explain in brief the concept of Set off and Carry forward of losses.
Ans: Income of assessee is taxable in five heads of income i.e. salary, house property,

It is not necessary that every year, in every head of income there shall be a profit only.
In some sources of income, like business head or capital gain etc, losses may also be
there. Losses may also be possible in House property income or income from other
sources.
Section 70-80 of income tax act deals with such provisions.
Normally the concept is that as a first step, a loss from a particular head of income is
adjusted against income under the same head and, then difference loss, if any, is
adjusted against the income in other head of income.
If still, any unadjusted loss is left, then it is adjusted in the next year or years against the
same head of income.
Usually a limit of 4 or 8 years is applicable for carry forward of losses.
Loss is adjusted in same year from same head other head Loss is adjusted in
next years from same head

PAN number is an alpha numeric ten digit unique identification number.
Q 27 : What is the difference between Self Assessment, Scrutiny Assessment and
Best Judgement Assessment ?

140A].
