It is therefore necessary to ensure that persons recruited as teachers possess the essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the primary and upper primary level.

2 In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the Right
of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in class I to VIII, vide its Notification dated August 23, 2010. A copy of the Notification is attached at Annexure 1. One of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government.

3 The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:

i. It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the
recruitment process;
ii. It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance standards;
iii. It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays
special emphasis on teacher quality

Income Tax Assessment

INTRODUCTION

Income tax is an annual tax on income. The Indian Income Tax Act (Section 4) provides that in respect of the total income of the previous year of every person, income tax shall be charged for the corresponding assessment year at the rates laid down by the Finance Act for that assessment year. Section 14 of the Income tax Act further provides that for the purpose of charge of income tax and computation of total income all income shall be classified under the following heads of income:

A. Salaries

B. Income from house property

C. Profits and gains of business or profession.

D. Capital gains

E. Income from other sources.

The total income from all the above heads of income is calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Act as they stand on the first day of April of any assessment year. In this booklet an attempt is being made to discuss the various provisions relevant to the salaried class of taxpayers as well as pensioners and senior citizens.

FILING OF INCOME TAX RETURN

Section 139(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 provides that every person whose total income during the previous year exceeded the maximum amount not chargeable to tax shall furnish a return of income. The Finance Act, 2003 has introduced Section 139(1B) which provides for furnishing of return of income on computer readable media, such as floppy, diskette, magnetic cartridge tape, CD- ROM etc., in accordance with the e-filing scheme specified by the Board in this regard.

The return of income can be submitted in the following manner:

Returns in new forms are not required to be filed in duplicate.Returns can be e-filed through the internet. E-filing of return is mandatory for companies and firms requiring statutory audit u/s 44AB. E-filing can be done with or without digital signaturea) If the returns are filed using digital signature, then no further action is required from the tax payers.

b) If the returns are filed without using digital signature,

then the tax payers have to file ITR-V with the department within 15 days of e-filing.

c) The tax payer can e-file the returns through an eintermediary

Where the return of income is furnished by using bar coded paper return, then the tax payers need to print two copies of Form ITR-V. Both copies should be verified and submitted. The receiving official shall return one copy after affixing the stamp and seal. The Finance Act, 2005 has provided that w.e.f. 01.04.2006 every person shall file a return of income on or before the relevant due date even if his total income without giving effect to the provisions of Chapter VI-A exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax.

DUE DATES FOR PAYMENT OF ADVANCE TAX & FILING OF RETURN
