No tax return for salary and interest income up to Rs 5 lakh

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) In India, as many as 85 lakh salaried tax payers whose taxable income, including salary and interest income, is up to Rs 5 lakh, are not required to file income-tax return from now onwards.
"No income-tax returns is required for salaried persons whose annual annual taxable income including salary and interest is up to Rs 5 lakh. We would shortly notify this," a Central Board of Direct Taxes official said.
However, he said this would not cover income from other sources like house property, capital gains and gains from profession and business.
The scheme would be applicable from assessment year 2011-12 onwards. This means that the salaried persons eligible under the scheme would not have to file returns for the financial year 2010-11 in 2011-12 (assessment year).

India hosts 2011 World Environment Day

NEW DELHI: India will host this year's World Environment Day tomorrow and the government has announced that the country will continue to play a very important role in defining the terms of environmental debate at the global level.

Each year a different country is chosen as the principal venue for the global celebration of World Environment Day which falls on June 5 and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has selected India as the global host of this year's programme.

The theme of this years celebration is "Forests: Nature at Your Service", which highlights the crucial environmental and economic roles played by the forests, particularly in India.

"The message is largely to the international community that India is willing and determined to play and is playing a very important role in defining the terms of environmental debate," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh in his message to the world on the occasion.

"It is not just environmental issues. It is also developmental issues. We have seen this in climate change area, we have seen this in biodiversity area and we will continue to be a very pro-active player internationally."

Explaining why India wanted to become the global host, Ramesh said the theme is about forestry conservation, livelihoods, the balance between economic growth and environmental protection and no other countries exemplifies this challenges more vividly than India.

"And also the fact that in 1972, when first UN conference on world environment took place, the person who brought on to the centre-stage the developmental dimension on the environmental issue was India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi," the Minister said.

RWA not responsible for guards'' negligence: Consumer forum

New Delhi, May 31 (PTI) Residents welfare associations cannot be held responsible if an accident takes place within a colony because of negligence of security guards, the Delhi State Consumer Commission has said.

The Commission said that if a resident receives injury due to the laxity of security guard then it does not amount to "deficiency in service" on the part of the association which receives money from the resident for maintaining safe and secure environment.

A bench headed by Justice Barkat Ali Zaidi dismissed the plea of an advocate and a resident of DDA Flats at Sheikh Sarai in South Delhi, seeking compensation of Rs one lakh from them on the grounds that his son was injured by an outsider who entered the colony due to lax vigil by the security guards.

The Commission said that it is not possible for a guard to be present at the colony''s gate round the clock as he is also supposed to look after the society''s other areas too.

"It cannot be said that there arises deficiency of service merely, because, the guard on gate has to look after the parks and the other area, besides the gate. The demand that a guard should always be present at the colony''s gate for 24 hours without a break, is unwarranted and impractical," the commission said.

The bench''s observations came on an appeal filed by the advocate Jai Gupta, challenging a district forum''s order that RWAs cannot be blamed for security lapses because of carelessness of security guards in a colony.
