So government smartly planned to get whole money from taxpayer without hurting taxpayer.

What is New Income Declaration Scheme ?

With the introduction of an Income Tax Amendment bill in Parliament on 28 Nov 2016, the government has proposed a new income disclosure scheme under the name of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana 2016 and simultaneously proposed plugging certain loopholes in the Income Tax Act which could have been exploited by black money holders.

The government has offered the carrot – the least tax option of the Garib Kalyan Yojana – and shown the stick and closed the loopholes: the hiked tax and penalties under Sections 115BBE and Section 271AAC and Section 271AAB.

One who declared his undisclosed income under this regime shall be required to pay

• tax @ 30% of the undisclosed income,
• penalty @10% of the undisclosed income.
• Further, a surcharge to be called Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Cess @33% of tax is also proposed to be levied.
• totaling to approximately 50%
• In addition to tax, surcharge, and penalty (totaling to approximately 50%), the declarant shall have to deposit 25% of undisclosed income in a Deposit Scheme to be notified by the RBI under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Deposit Scheme, 2016’. No interest will be paid to the owner for this. After four years the owner can reclaim his money (25%)

Example

How much tax one would have to pay on Undisclosed Income under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana 2016

For Undisclosed income of Rs 10 lakh

• Tax @ 30% of the undisclosed income, Tax will be 3 lakh
• Penalty @10% of the undisclosed income, penalty will be Rs 1,lakh
• Surcharge @33% of tax i.e 33% of 3 lakh will be Rs 99,000
• Total tax & penalty payable: Rs 4,99,000
• And above that, 25% of undisclosed income in a Deposit Scheme i.e Rs 2.5 lakh will be locked in for 4 years without accruing any interest.

The Key Highlights of this new scheme are as follows:

• It's a disclosure scheme called the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) 2016 allows people to deposit money till April by paying 50 per cent of the total amount -- 30 percent as tax, 10 percent as penalty and 33 percent of the taxed amount -- that is 10 percent -- as Garib Kalyan Cess.
• So the taxes and levies will equal nearly 50 percent of the deposit. 25 percent of the money that remains after taxes will be available to the account holder.
• The other 25 percent or rest of the black money that's being converted will be used by the government for four years in a special new fund that will be called the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana and will be used to fund welfare schemes. No interest will be paid to the owner for this.
• If the owner refuses the option of the government bond mentioned above, 85 percent of the amount will be taken in taxes and penalties
• For the money that is found in raids, taxes and penalties will take nearly 90 per cent of the amount, leaving 10 per cent with the owner.
• It is almost certain to be cleared in this winter session of parliament because it is being considered by the Lok Sabha, where the government has a huge majority
• As a Money Bill, it will be reviewed by the Rajya Sabha, but cannot be rejected by the Upper House, where the government is in a minority.
