R.I PRESIDENT’s Monthly messages - July 2013

Dear fellow Rotarians,This is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. ThisRotary year can be one of the greatest years we have yetexperienced in Rotary – but it is up to each one of us. Weare now writing the last chapter in our fight against polio.While it has been a long, hard journey, we have learnedmany valuable lessons. We have learned that as a group wecan move mountains, we can change people’s lives for thebetter, and we can honestly make a difference in our world.Perhaps the greatest lesson has been that the more we chal-lenge ourselves, the more we can achieve.We are also embarking on a new chapter in the storied his-tory of our Rotary Foundation. We have the rare privilegeof launching an entirely new grant structure we’ve come toknow as Future Vision. It gives us the opportunity to chal-lenge ourselves to do the absolute most we can, with all ofour resources. Just think how much more we can do with astronger Foundation, with stronger clubs filled with moreRotarians who are fully engaged in Rotary service.It’s time for us to recognize that the real challenge we faceisn’t just bringing new members into Rotary. It’s turning allmembers into true Rotarians. It’s helping members get en-gaged in Rotary – helping them realize the potential theyhave, and how their Rotary service can change lives. Weneed to make sure that every member is active and con-tributing, and making a real difference – because when you’redoing meaningful work in Rotary, Rotary is meaningful toyou.When we realize what we can achieve in Rotary – when wereally engage Rotary – that’s when lives change. We change

the lives of the people who need us. That is inevitable. Andalong the way, our lives are changed as well. That is alsoinevitable. That’s what our theme is all about in 2013-14:Engage Rotary, Change Lives.It’s time to open our eyes to the potential each of us hasthrough Rotary. Rotary lets us reach higher, do more, and bea part of something larger than ourselves. No matter howmuch we give to Rotary, we get more in return. And that,too, is inevitable.In 2013-14, let’s turn all of our potential into reality. It’s upto us. We can do it by engaging in Rotary service, by get-ting involved, by staying inspired, and by remembering ev-ery day the gift we have in Rotary. Together, we will EngageRotary, Change Lives

ROTARY'S AREAS OF FOCUS

The needs spanning Rotary's six areas of focus are vast,ranging from lack of access to clean water to the need forimmunization that prevent deadly diseases. Learn more inthe Rotary's Areas of Focus publicationRotary clubs serve communities around the world, each withunique concerns and needs. Rotarians have continuallyadapted and improved the way they respond to those needs,taking on a broad range of service projects. The most suc-cessful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall withinone of the following six areas:

- Peace and conflict prevention/resolution - Disease prevention and treatment - Water and sanitation - Maternal and child health - Basic education and literacy - Economic and community development

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation recognizethese six areas of focus as organizational priorities, andthere are countless ways that Rotarians can address theseneeds locally and internationally.Clubs and districts participating in the Future Vision pilotcan apply for Rotary Foundation Global Grant funding bytargeting specific goals for one or more of the areas offocus.

Tax Deduction on Purchase of ImmoveableProperty

Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961

After section 194-I of the Incometax Act, the following section wasinserted with effect from the 1st dayof June, 2013, namely:—

‘194-IA Payment on transfer of certain immovable prop-erty other than agricultural land.—(1) Any person, be-ing a transferee, responsible for paying (other than theperson referred to in section 194LA) to a resident trans-feror any sum by way of consideration for transfer ofany immovable property (other than agricultural land),shall, at the time of credit of such sum to the account ofthe transferor or at the time of payment of such sum incash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any othermode, whichever is earlier, deduct an amount equal toone per cent of such sum as income-tax thereon.

(2) No deduction under sub-section (1) shall be madewhere the consideration for the transfer of an immov-able property is less than fifty lakh rupees.

Explanation.—for the purposes of this section,—

(a) “agricultural land” means agricultural land in India,not being a land situate in any area referred to in items(a) and (b) of sub-clause (iii) of clause (14) of section 2 ;

(b) “immovable property” means any land (other thanagricultural land) or any building or part of a building.’

This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2013.

Analysis of new TDS Section 194-IA

1. This amendment will take effect from June 01,2013 for sale of immovable property (other thanagricultural land) where consideration is Rs. 50 Lacsand above. 

2. The property may be in the nature of land, build-ings or flats. Both residential and commercial prop-erties are covered under this provision. However,the deduction does not apply to purchase of agri-cultural land which is not located within municipallimits or within the specified distance from mu-nicipal limits.

3. The section requires TDS to be deducted at 1% ofthe price being paid by the purchaser of an im-moveable property, irrespective of quantum of capi-tal gains. Purchaser and seller may be anyone i.e.individual / HUF /AOP / BOI / Partnership firm /LLP / Company / Artificial juridical person. No TDSis required to be deducted where total consider-ation is less than Rs 50 Lakhs.

4. If the seller does not have/provide a PAN, the rateof TDS would be 20%.

5. Such TDS would be deducted irrespective of whothe seller is whether a builder or a flat owner mak-ing a sale.

6. Deductor must be very careful in filling up PAN de-tails. In case wrong PAN is entered, there is no fa-cility of correcting the same online. The only op-tion available is to approach the Assessing Officeror TDS-CPC

7. Any tax deducted under section 194-IA will bea. Deposited within 7 days from the end of

month in which tax was deductedb. Deposited by way of Challan-cums-state-

ment in Form 26QBc. Deposited electronically into RBI/SBI or any

authorized bank8. NSDL site has already provided a new link “TDS on

sale of Property” under e-Payment of Taxes to elec-tronically deposit such TDS. It is mandatory to pro-vide PAN of both transferor and transferee. Com-plete address of transferor and transferee is to begiven. About property, complete address, value con-sideration, date of agreement and whether paymentmade in lump sum or installment is also to be pro-vided in the online form.

9. TDS Certificate in respect deduction under section194-IA will be issued by Deductor in Form No 16B.Form 16B has to be issued within 15 days from thedue date of depositing tax (i.e. within 22 days ofthe end of the month in which the tax was deducted).Form 16B will have to be downloaded from incometax web portal

10. The purchaser is exempt from the obligation toobtain TAN, which is otherwise mandatory for alldeductors. Purchaser is not required to obtain aTAN as the Forms 26QB and 16B are to be filed us-ing the PAN details of the parties to the transac-tion.

11. Usually, tax has to deducted either at the time ofcredit or payment of consideration, whichever isearlier. In most of the cases of individuals purchas-ing immoveable property, the question of credit ofconsideration in the books of account should notarise, as there would usually be no books of ac-count maintained for such transactions. Therefore,effectively TDS would be required to be deductedat the time of payment

Fortunately, the purchaser deducting such TDS is not re-quired to comply with the cumbersome TDS procedural re-quirements applicable to other TDS deductors, such as ob-taining a Tax Deduction Account Number, filing a TDS re-turn, issuing a TDS certificate, etc. All that he is requiredto do is fill in a form online (www.tin-nsdl.com) or eithermake an e-payment or physical payment with the bank.Thanks to Government in this regard.
