Income Tax refund credit is not in the control of your auditor or tax consultant.

Once the ITR is filed and e-verified, processing and refund issuance are handled by the Income Tax Department.

Taxpayers are often left without a clear, case-specific date for when the refund will actually be credited.

So when your auditor says, “The return is filed and under processing,” the next step is with the Department—not the auditor.

India has 21.7 lakh active companies. In August 2026 alone, 3,797 were struck off. 🏢

Many of them didn't close because of losses. Missed filings, piling late fees and ROC action they never saw coming are a common reason.

📅 Today (30 Sept) is the last date to hold your AGM. Your annual filings follow from there:

✅ AOC-4 (Financial Statements): 29 Oct 2026
✅ ITR (Companies): 31 Oct 2026
✅ MGT-7 / MGT-7A (Annual Return): 28 Nov 2026

⚠️ Late ROC filing costs ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper limit. Continued non-filing can lead to strike-off and director disqualification.

Don't let your company become a statistic. Behind on filings? efiletax can help you catch up.

⚠️ ITR PROCESSING ALERT – AY 2026-27

Many taxpayers have started receiving intimations where:

✅ ITR was filed under the New Tax Regime
❌ But a valid Form 10-IEA – “Opting Out” exists

CPC is therefore processing such returns under the Old Tax Regime.

One major impact can be the Standard Deduction

New Regime: ₹75,000
Old Regime: ₹50,000
Difference: ₹25,000

This ₹25,000 difference can increase taxable income and may result in additional tax demand.

👉 Before filing, professionals should verify both Form 10-IEA status and the tax regime selected in the ITR

A tenant who pays the developer's maintenance and gets the invoice in its name doesn't automatically get ITC. Under GST, the "recipient" is whoever is legally liable to pay — not who pays or uses the space. Here's how to structure it so the credit actually holds.

GST on PG & Hostel Accommodation

Running a ladies' PG, men's PG or hostel? Here's when GST does NOT apply.

Since 15 July 2024, PG and hostel accommodation is GST-exempt when BOTH conditions are met:

✅ ₹20,000 or less per person per month
✅ Stay of at least 90 continuous days

And no — the rule is the same whether it's a girls' hostel or a boys' PG. GST law doesn't look at gender, only at the charge, the duration and what's bundled in.

Two common traps: compulsory food + Wi-Fi packages can push you over ₹20,000, and a stay under 90 days loses the exemption entirely.

Full breakdown — conditions, examples, and what applies if you cross the line 👇

Bricks GST Notification

Told your bricks are now 5% GST? Check that invoice again.

The September 2025 GST reforms did NOT cut fly ash bricks, building bricks or roofing tiles to 5%. Notification 14/2025 kept them at 12% — with a 6%-without-ITC option.

If a supplier is billing these at 5%, it's a dead rate from 2022. Wrong rate = wrong returns = problems later.

We break down the 12% vs 6% choice, the ₹20 lakh registration rule, & what builders should check

Built a commercial property to rent it out — but got denied GST credit on the construction cost?

A fresh Madras High Court order says tax officers can't just reject your claim by citing the 2025 amendment. They have to look at what the building is actually for.

If you're sitting on blocked construction credit, this is your signal to re-open the file — not write it off.

We break down the ruling, the documents you need, and the strongest legal grounds 👇

A "Zero demand" GST order doesn't mean zero dispute.

For years the portal locked people out of appealing these — even after they'd paid the disputed amount upfront.

That changed this week. APL-01 now works on NIL/Zero orders.
