Tax on apartment association

Dear sir
We have formed owners apartment association managed by the members ( Owners ). we collecting monthly maintenance and incurring expenditure to meet apartment expenses like security housekeeping and other maintenance works

apart from this we had Corpus fund which we converted into Fixed deposit and we are getting interest income.

every year when we are filling return I noticed we are paying income tax on interest income at the rate of 30% + surcharge

whether tax is applicable on apartment association or lower rate of tax or it should be treated like individual and should be entitled for basic exemption of Rs.2,50,000

Can oci residing in india borrow rs from resident indian

The Reserve Bank of India's guidelines in this regard are a bit confusing and have changed over the years. I need a definite answer if such a transaction is allowed or if RBI permission is required.
I am willing to pay for a detail answer with specific authority cited. There is no litigation or anything of that kind so I am not looking for any judgment but rather some authoritative explanation from the RBI. The following links provide conflicting information. The facts in my case are that both the OCI and the Indian citizen are residing in India which is not covered in the links below:

Capital gain.

Hello sir,
Income tax department has raised queries on capital gains so need your suggestion.

1) They say allotment letter issued by the builder on their letter head doesn't have a seal so it cannot be recognised as valid allotment. The allotment was from April 2015 and property registered in May 2016 so they claim 2016-2017 ready reckoner as market rate for capital gain.

2) Source of Payment - As the funds are directly paid from Mothers account, so can we show the bank statement of the mother as payment proof? They don't consider receipt issued by the builder as evidence. Please guide.

Regards
Dinesh

Vat penalty

e way bill expired due to a sudden storm on hills as vehicle had to take shelter for few hours for storm to pass. VAT officer intercepted and asking to deposit tax and penalty. I asked trader to pay tax and I will pay penalty as he will get his tax refund, adjusted subsequently. Trader is not agreeing. He says his CA has advised him that he will not get his tax amount back. This seems illogical to me as govt will logically not take tax twice on same goods. Am I right or the trader is right?

Apartment of co-operative housing society

I am a member of a Co-operative Housing Society in West Bengal. I paid to the Society in instalments, the proportionate cost of land and cost of construction of the building during construction of the building. After completion of construction, the Society transferred the ownership of my apartment to me by a deed of conveyance. The stamp duty value of the apartment is the circle rate, which is higher than the construction cost paid by me to the Society.
My question is whether Income tax act section 56 (2) (X) (b) will be applicable for the transfer of ownership of the apartment by the Society to me?
