Income Tax Dept warns public against cash dealings of Rs 2 lakh or more saying that the receiver of the amount will have to cough up an equal amount as penalty.

Form 15H can be furnished if no tax payable on income after sec. 87A rebate

Since the section 87A was amended by the Finance Act, 2019, to provide full tax rebate to taxpayers earning total income up to Rs. 5 lakhs, the CBDT made the consequent amendment in Form 15H used for furnishing declaration for nil deduction of tax in case of senior citizens. Now, rebate u/s 87A shall be allowed while furnishing Form 15H declaration.
