Lower tax rate for manufacturing coops, higher cash pay limit: Amit Shah in RS

Hindustan Times  

Newly set up co-operatives that undertake manufacturing activities will get benefits of a lower tax rate of 15%, as is available to new manufacturing firms, Union minister for home and cooperation Amit Shah has said in a reply in Parliament. The Income Tax Act’s section 269 ST prohibits cash receipts of over ₹ 2 lakh from any person. In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Shah also stated that milk cooperatives, the backbone of India’s sprawling dairy sector, can receive cash in excess of ₹2 lakh on bank holidays towards payment of milk price. The Income Tax Act’s section 269 ST prohibits cash receipts of over ₹2 lakh from any person, via any transaction or multiple transactions in a day for a “single event”, or business exchange. “This would enable cooperative societies to make payments to their members, who are mostly from rural and farming communities, on bank holidays without fear of income tax penalty,” Shah said.
