(Individuals & HUF earning more than Rs.50 lacs in a year)
1. In a set of ITR Forms launched on 31/3/2016 evening, the CBDT has added a new schedule – Schedule AL to all ITR Forms (including ITR-1).  Under this new section, individuals have to declare all their assets and liabilities as on end of F.Y. 2015-16.
2. The assets have been classified under two categories:-
a) Movable: Cash in hand, Savings Bank A/c balance, vehicles (including Yachts, Boats and Aircrafts), jewellery, bullion and other valuable metals.
b)  Immovable:  Land or Building (including House Property)
3. Liabilities will include any outstanding loans.

Difficulties At The Moment
1. Further instructions are awaited by the tax payers to value their assets themselves especially jewellery and vehicles.
2. Professionals earning upto Rs.50 lacs in a year are covered under presumptive tax as per the amendments announced in the budget this year and have to pay taxes at a pre-determined rate of 50% of gross receipts.
3. Earlier, this process of filing tax return apart from profit declaration, no other details were required.  The new forms will change this, in case of multiple businesses.

Conclusion

i) Declaration of foreign assets, all the bank A/c maintained in F.Y. , ESOPS and other details.
ii) Declaration of net worth i.e. assets and liabilities by individuals and HUF.

Retirement fund body EPFO on Tuesday decided to provide interest on inoperative accounts from April 1, a move which will benefit over nine crore such account-holders having total deposits of over Rs 32,000 crore.
The decision was taken by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation's (EPFO) apex decision making body Central Board of Trustees' headed by labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya.
"UPA government stopped interest on inoperative accounts. Now we have taken a pro-worker decision. The UPA government which was claiming to be a pro-worker, stopped the interest on inoperative accounts.
"Now, we have decided to credit interest in inoperative accounts. There will not be any inoperative accounts," Dattatreya told reporters after the CBT meeting here.
He also informed that interest on deposits in inoperative accounts will be credited from April 1.
Inoperative accounts are those wherein the contribution has not been received for 36 months.
EPFO had stopped payment of interest to such accounts from April 1, 2011. The move was aimed at discouraging parking of funds with EPFO in these dormant accounts.
The decision will benefit over nine crore such account holders having total deposit of around Rs 32,000 crore.
When asked about a proposal on enhancing proportion of incremental investments of the EPFO in government securities (G-Sec) from 50 per cent to 65 per cent, labour secretary Shankar Aggarwal said, "It has already been decided by the ministry of finance."
The secretary said that the limit of 50 per cent was enhanced as they were getting good offers but unable to invest in such instruments as the limit had been exhuasted.
"If we get higher returns in G-Secs then we should be allowed to invest more in these instruments," he said further.
The Board also gave in-principle approval to restructuring of the EPFO as recommended by a sub-committee.
"We have taken decision regarding (cadre) restructuring of the EPFO. There will be a Career Advancement Scheme for over 20,000 employees of EPFO. They are waiting their due promotions for 19 years," Dattatreya said.
Dattatreya said that an implementation and anomalies committee has been formed which will look into grievances of employees. "The implementation of the scheme will be started within one month and will go very fast. A small committee under the Central Provident Fund Commissioner will address all anomalies in a month's time," he said.
About the CBT's decision to provide 8.8 per cent rate of interest on PF deposits for current fiscal, the labour secretary said, "The decision taken last month at CBT's meeting at Chennai has been sent to finance ministry and their approval is awaited."
On the proposal to provide insurance cover to EPFO's subscribers for three years after cessation of employment, he said, "The proposal is deferred."
