The Indian Banks' Association ( IBA) has proposed to the Govt before Budget 2022, with regards to the following.
* Reduction in the lock-in period for Fixed Deposits( FDs) from 5 yrs to 3 yrs, which are used for claiming tax exemption U/ S 80 C of the Income tax Act. This is an effort to make FDs compete favourably with other products like mutual funds, ELSS or direct investment in shares, thereby attracting more investors.
* Seeks faster hearing for disputes with government departments through special mechanism with timelines for completion of appeals.
* Branches of foreign banks be given an option to pay tax at 22% instead of 40%.
* Permission to do away with quarterly TDS certificates.
Good suggestions
