ICAI proposes to come up with newer accounting standards

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has proposed to come up with newer accounting standards, covering miscellaneous issues, in order to be in sync with what is being practised internationally. A number of accounting standards are already in place while efforts are on to include other critical topics within their fold.

Taxman won’t come knocking at will

The recent uproar over the income tax department seeking cash flow statements of individual tax payers could result in some safeguards being provided to the assesee against undue harassment by tax officials.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is set to bar assessing officers from directly sending notices to tax payers if they detect any mis-match between the investments declared in the cash-flow statement and those captured in the annual information returns (AIR) collected from third party sources.
