Investor Tidbits

Hari Kiran Chereddi
Board Member, Hyderabad Angels

“Investing in startups is exciting and daunting all at the same time. We at HA are possibly one of the only networks which never invests in a company just because everyone else is.

It’s easy to get excited about a cool, innovative new idea. But, who are the people steering the ship is very important to us !!!”

Dr.Raj Vishnu
Member, Hyderabad Angels

“All of us face some day-to-day problems in dealing with our lives. For lack of proper solutions, we are willing to either live with the problems or overcome them the hard way, and we do this repeatedly, draining ourselves emotionally and financially. There is enormous potential for entrepreneurs to build successful businesses by tackling such problems and providing all-out solutions in a big way, and they will certainly be well-received by the society”

Income Tax returns: Non/delayed filing

Non-filing of the annual returns and annual statements with Registrar of Companies, as per Companies Act, 2013, levies huge penalties depending on the period of delay. If delayed by more than 6 months, the additional fee runs as high as 12 times the original. Moreover, the additional fee paid is not allowed as a deduction for the purposes of the computation of Income Tax.

Also, specific to loss-making companies, non-filing of Income Tax returns within the specified period deprives them of the benefit of availing carry forward losses made in a financial year.
