Income Tax Rules: Income Tax Department can send notice to your wife to pay income tax in this situation.
Close scrutiny of taxpayers begins
The Income Tax Department has decided to conduct a strict investigation of large refund claims made fraudulently. Under this, monitoring of such employed people who are filing ITR collectively from a single agency will increase. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued new guidelines (SOP) in this regard. According to these instructions, suspicious returns and refunds will be marked using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The department has started a close scrutiny of those taxpayers whose returns came under scrutiny in the last 9 years. This also includes employed people who have filed returns collectively from a non-professional agency. The refund of many of these taxpayers is stuck for months.
Department can recover refund
It is being said that this step is likely to cause refund to get stuck this year. Experts say that the Income Tax Department has the right to recover the refund of the last four years if the refund claim made by a taxpayer is found to be wrong.

Banks should use UPI to empower people: Finance Minister

India’s UPI has a 45 percent share in the world’s digital payments. The Finance Minister also said that a good banking system can help achieve more economic growth, social progress and environmental sustainability.
According to data from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), transactions through UPI in August grew 41 percent year-on-year to 14.96 billion. During this period, the value of transactions grew 31 percent year-on-year to Rs 20.61 lakh crore. About 6 million new users are joining UPI every month.
