Question 1
Miss Charlie, an American national, got married to Mr. Radhey of India in USA on 2.03.2021
and came to India for the first time on 16.03.2021. She left for USA on 19.9.2021. She
returned to India again on 27.03.2022. While in India, she had purchased a show room in
Mumbai on 22.04.2021, which was leased out to a company on a rent of ` 25,000 p.m.
from 1.05.2021. She had taken loan from a bank for purchase of this show room on which
bank had charged interest of ` 97,500 upto 31.03.2022. She had received the following
gifts from her relatives and friends during 1.4.2021 to 31.3.2022:
- From parents of husband ` 51,000
- From married sister of husband ` 11,000
- From two very close friends of her husband, ` 1,51,000 and ` 21000 ` 1,72,000
Determine her residential status and compute the total income chargeable to tax along
with the amount of tax payable on such income for the Assessment Year 2022-23.
Answer
Under section 6(1), an individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if he
satisfies any one of the following conditions:
(i) He has been in India during the previous year for a total period of 182 days or more,
or
(ii) He has been in India during the 4 years immediately preceding the previous year for
a total period of 365 days or more and has been in India for at least 60 days in the
previous year.
If an individual satisfies any one of the conditions mentioned above, he is a resident.
If both the above conditions are not satisfied, the individual is a non-resident.
Therefore, the residential status of Miss Charlie, an American National, for A.Y. 2022-23
has to be determined on the basis of her stay in India during the previous year relevant
to A.Y. 2022-23 i.e. P.Y. 2021-22 and in the preceding four assessment year.

INTER CA. – DIRECT TAXES
P.Y. 2021-22
01.04.2021 to 19.09.2021 172 days
27.03.2022 to 31.03.2022 5 days
Total 177 days
Four preceding previous years
P.Y. 2020-21 [1.4.2020 to 31.3.2021] 16 days
P.Y. 2019-20 [1.4.2019 to 31.3.2020] Nil
P.Y. 2018-19 [ 1.4.2018 to 31.3.2019] Nil
P.Y. 2017-18 [ 1.4.2017 to 31.3.2018] Nil
Total 16 days
The total stay of the assessee during the previous year in India was less than 182 days
and during the four years preceding this year was for 16 days. Therefore, due on non-
fulfillment of any of the two conditions for a resident, she would be treated as non-
resident for the Assessment Year 2022-23.

Notes:
1. Actual rent received has been taken as the gross annual value in the absence of
other information (i.e. Municipal value, fair rental value and standard rent) in the
question.
2. If the aggregate value of taxable gifts received from on-relatives exceeds ` 50,000
during the year, the entire amount received (i.e. the aggregate value of taxable gifts
received) is taxable. Therefore, the entire amount of ` 1,72,000 is taxable under
section 56(2)(x).
3. Since Miss Charlie is a non-resident for the A.Y. 2022-23, rebate under section 87A
would not be available to her, even though her total income is less than ` 5 lacs.

On lottery winnings of Rs. 5,00,000 @ 30% 1,50,000
Add: Health and Education cess @ 4% 6,000
Total tax liability 1,56,000
The assessee need not pay advance tax since the total income (excluding lottery income)
liable to tax is below the basic exemption limit. Further, in respect of lottery income, tax
would have been deducted at source @ 30% under section 194B. Since the remaining tax
liability of ` 6,000 (` 1,56,000 – ` 1,50,000) is less than ` 10,000, advance tax liability is
not attracted.
Notes:
(1) The basic exemption limit of ` 2,50,000 has to be first exhausted against salary
income of ` 45,000. The unexhausted basic exemption limit of ` 2,05,000 can be
adjusted against long-term capital gains of ` 35,000 as per section 112, but not
against lottery winnings which are taxable at a flat rate of 30% under section 115BB.
(2) The first proviso to section 234C(1) provides that since it is not possible for the
652
assessee to estimate his income from lotteries, the entire amount of tax payable
(after considering TDS) on such income should be paid in the remaining instalments
of advance tax which are due. Where no such instalment is due, the entire tax should
be paid by 31st March, 2022. The first proviso to section 234C(1) would be attracted
only in case of non-deduction or short-deduction of tax at source under section
194B.

Less: Loss from house property in respect of which Mr. Venus (90,000) 4,60,000
is the deemed owner to be set off against his salary income
as per section 71(1) - [Note 1]
Capital Gains

[` 2,00,000 (–) ` 80,000] to be carried-forward to A.Y. 2023-
24
Taxable Income 4,60,000
Notes:
(1) As per section 27(i), Mr. Venus is the deemed owner of the house transferred to his
minor son without adequate consideration. Hence, the income from house property
would be assessable in Mr. Venus’s hands. Since there is a loss from house property
transferred to minor son without adequate consideration, Mr. Venus can set-off the
same against salary income, since he is the deemed owner of such property.
(2) As per section 74(1) and 74(2), brought forward long-term capital loss can be set-
off only against long-term capital gains. Unabsorbed long-term capital loss can be
670
carried forward for a maximum of eight assessment years (upto A.Y. 2024-25, in this
case) for set-off against long-term capital gains.
(3) As per section 64(1)(iv), income from funds gifted to spouse by an individual and
invested in business by the spouse is includible in the hands of the individual. As
per Explanation 2 to section 64, income includes “loss”. Hence, in the given case,
loss arising out of the business carried on by Mr. Venus’s wife is to be included in the
income of Mr. Venus, as she has carried on business with the funds gifted to her by
Mr. Venus.
(4) As per section 71(2A), business loss cannot be set-off against salary income.
However, the same can be set-off against income from other sources (consisting of
interest on fixed deposit).

Computation of tax liability of Mrs. Ann for the A.Y. 2022-23

Tax on ` 7,59,600
[` 51,920 (20% of ` 2,59,600) + ` 12,500] 64,420
Add: Health & Education cess @ 4% 2,577
Tax Payable 66,997
Rounded-off u/s 288B 67,000
Notes:
(1) HRA is exempt to the extent of the least of the following u/s 10(13A):
(a) 50% of salary i.e. 50% of ` 7,20,000 = ` 3,60,000 (in case Mrs. Ann resides in
Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta or Chennai) (or) 40% of salary i.e., 40% of ` 7,20,000
= ` 2,88,000 (in case Mrs. Ann resides in any other place)
(b) Excess of rent paid over 10% of salary = (` 18,000 – ` 6,000) × 12 = ` 1,44,000
(c) Actual HRA received = ` 15,000 × 12 = ` 1,80,000
Least of the above i.e. ` 1,44,000 is exempt u/s 10(13A).
(2) In the case of a person owning not more than 10 vehicles at any time during the P.Y.,
estimated income from each vehicle will be deemed to be ` 7,500 for every month
or part of the month during which such vehicle is owned by the assessee in the P.Y.
or an amount claimed to have been actually earned from such vehicle, whichever is
higher - [Section 44AE].
In this case, since the assessee declares a higher amount of ` 11,000 p.m. as the
net income actually earned by her from letting on hire truck, such amount will be
672
considered as income u/s 44AE.

Interest paid @ ` 1,000 p.m. is not deductible, since u/s 44AE, all deductions as per
sections 30 to 38 are deemed to have been claimed & allowed. Truck was plied for
the period 01.08.2021 to 31.03.2022 for 8 months.
Therefore, in this case, income u/s 44AE is ` 11,000 × 8 = ` 88,000.
(3) Medical Insurance Premium paid in cash for husband amounting to ` 25,000 shall
not qualify for deduction u/s 80D. Hence, the same is ignored.
(4) Interest upto ` 3,500 on post office savings account is exempt u/s 10(15). The balance
interest of ` 5,000 would be included under the head “Other Sources” and shall form
part of GTI.
However, the same would qualify for deduction u/s 80TTA, since interest upto ` 10,000
from, inter alia, post office savings account qualifies for deduction thereunder.

House-I (70,000)
House II (48,000) (1,18,000)
Profits and gains from business (given) (2,00,000)
Capital gains - (WN 2)
Long-term capital gain 1,30,00,000
Interest on Bank Fixed Deposits 1,00,000
Gross Total Income 1,27,82,000
Less: Deduction under Chapter VI-A:
Section 80C:
Deposit in PPF A/c (1,00,000)
Total Income 1,26,82,000
Computation of tax liability of Mr. A for A.Y. 2022-23:

Tax on total income other than long term capital gain Nil
Tax on long-term capital gain of Rs. 1,23,82,000 (after 24,76,400
adjusting the house property & business losses and
unexhausted basic exemption limit) [i.e. Rs. 1,30,00,000
(-) Rs. 1,18,000 (-) Rs. 2,00,000 (-) Rs. 3,00,000] @ 20% -
(Refer Note below)
Tax on Total Income 24,76,400
Add: Surcharge on Rs. 24,76,400 @ 15% 3,71,460
Tax on Total Income including surcharge 28,47,860
Add: Health & Education Cess @ 4% 1,13,914
Total Tax Liability 29,61,774
Rounded-off u/s 288B 29,61,770
Note:
It has been assumed that the loss from house property and business loss have been set-
off fully against long term capital gains. Therefore, Rs. 1,00,000 relating to section 80C
PPF investment is deducted against the income under the head “Other Sources”. Hence, the
taxable income represents long term capital gains only and the tax liability is computed
accordingly.

Working notes:
(1) Calculation of income from house property:
House - I: Self occupied `
Net Annual Value Nil
Less: Interest as per section 24(b) (70,000)
Loss from House-I (70,000)
House-II: Let out `
Gross Annual Value (Rs. 9,000 x 8) 72,000
Less: Municipal taxes (12,000)
Less: Deductions u/s 24
30% of NAV (18,000)
Interest on borrowed capital (90,000)
Loss from House-II (48,000)
Note:
Interest on capital borrowed will be allowed in full for let out properties. As per
section 23(1)(c), where the property or any part of the property is let and was vacant
during the whole or any part of the P.Y. and owing to such vacancy the actual rent
received or receivable by the owner in respect thereof is less than the expected rent
(in this case, standard rent of Rs. 90,000), then, the actual rent received or receivable
would be the Gross Annual Value of the property. In this case, the actual rent received
(i.e. Rs. 72,000) is less than the expected rent (i.e. Rs. 90,000) on account of vacancy
and therefore, the actual rent received is taken as the Gross Annual Value.
(2) Computation of Capital Gains:

Particulars `
Full Value of Consideration (Sale Proceeds) 2,50,00,000
Less: Transfer Expenses (Nil)
Net Consideration 2,50,00,000
Less: Indexed cost of acquisition – [Rs. 20,00,000 (x)317/317] - (Re- (20,00,000)
fer Note below)
Gross long-term capital gains 2,30,00,000
Less: Exemption u/s 54 (1,00,00,000)
Taxable long-term capital gain 1,30,00,000
Note:
As per the definition of the indexed cost of acquisition under clause (iii) of Explanation
to section 48, indexation benefit will be available only from the P.Y. in which Mr. A
676
first held the asset i.e. P.Y. 2021-22. Since Mr. A sold the asset in the same year in
which it was held by him, cost of acquisition and indexed cost of acquisition would
be same.
As per the view expressed by Bombay High Court, in the case of CIT v. Manjula J.
Shah, in case the cost of acquisition of the capital asset in the hands of the assessee
is taken to be cost of such asset in the hands of the previous owner, the indexation
benefit would be available from the year in which the capital asset is acquired
by the previous owner. If this view is taken, the indexed cost of acquisition would
be Rs.63,40,000 (20,00,000 x 317/100) and gross long-term capital gain would be
Rs.186,60,000. Therefore, after exemption u/s 54 the taxable long-term capital gains
would be Rs. 86,60,000.

Less: Exemption u/s 10(10AA) - (Note 3) (2,45,000) 70,000
Less: Standard Deduction u/s 16(ia) (50,000)
Net Taxable Salary 3,06,750
Profits and gains from business or profession
(Business loss of Rs. 80,000 to be carried forward as the Nil
same cannot be set-off against Salary Income)
Less: Deduction u/s 80C:
Investment in PPF (62,500)
Investment in NSC (37,500) (1,00,000)
677
Note:
(1) As per section 10(13A), HRA will be exempt to the extent of least of the following:
(a) HRA actually received (Rs. 6,000 x 9) = Rs. 54,000
(b) Rent paid in excess of 10% of salary (Rs. 6,500 - Rs. 2,500) x 9 months = Rs.
36,000
(c) 50% of salary = Rs. 1,12,500
(2) Gratuity exempt u/s 10(10), shall be least of the following amounts:
(a) Actual amount received = Rs. 3,50,000
(b) Half month’s average salary for each year of completed service i.e. (1/2 x Rs.
24,500 x 25) = Rs. 3,06,250
(c) Statutory Limit = Rs. 20,00,000
(3) Leave encashment is exempt up to the least of the following:
(a) Actual Amount Received = Rs. 3,15,000
(b) 10 months’ average salary i.e. (Rs. 24,500 x 10) = Rs. 2,45,000
(c) Cash equivalent of unavailed leave calculated on the basis of maximum 30
days for every year of actual service rendered to the employer from whose
service he retired (See Note below) = Rs. 3,06,250
(d) Statutory Limit = Rs. 3,00,000
Note:
Since the leave entitlement of Mr. X as per his employer’s rules is 30 days credit for
each year of service and he had accumulated 15 days per annum during the period
of his service, he would have availed/taken the balance 15 days leave every year.
Leave entitlement (30 days/year x 25) 750 days
Less: Leave taken/availed (15 days/year x 25) 375 days
Leave Credit at the time of his retirement 375 days
Cash equivalent of earned leave to the credit of Mr. X at the time of his retirement =
(375 days/30 days × Rs. 24,500) = Rs. 3,06,250.

‘PGBP’.
(ii) As regards the 2nd block, the sum for which the property may be reasonably

is the higher of fair rent (i.e. Rs. 15,000 p.m.) or the actual rent received (i.e. Rs.
10,000 p.m.) Hence, the GAV of the 2nd block is Rs. 1,80,000 (i.e. Rs. 15,000
p.m.)
(iii) U/s 24(b), interest on bank loan for construction of house is deductible. However,

2nd block is Rs. 50,000 (i.e. 10% of Rs. 5 lakhs), which is allowable as deduction
u/s 24(b).
(2) Profits & Gains from Business or Profession:
Mr. Ashok can claim depreciation @ 10% on the building used by him for business
purposes. The depreciation on the 1st block is Rs. 50,000 (being 10% of Rs.
5,00,000) and depreciation on equipments used for business is Rs. 30,000. Hence
the depreciation allowable during the year is Rs. 80,000.
(3) Business Loss:
As per section 72, business loss relating to discontinued business is eligible for set-
off.
(4) Short-term capital gains (STCG):

section 111A. For the purpose of providing deduction under Chapter VI-A, the gross
total income should be reduced by the STCG on listed shares. Further, this STT is
shall not be allowed while computing the capital gain on sale of such shares.
(5) Deductions u/s 80C and 80D:
Deduction u/s 80C can be claimed in respect of life insurance premium paid for major
son, even though he is not dependent on the assessee. It is assumed 2nd block let-
out to cousin was used for residential purpose and accordingly principal repayment
was considered for deduction u/s 80C.
However, deduction u/s 80D cannot be claimed in respect of mediclaim premium
paid for non-dependant son. Mediclaim premium paid for self of Rs. 6,000 is eligible
for deduction.

(Note 6)
Section 80E:
Interest paid towards education loan taken for his son - (15,000) (63,000)
(Note 7)
Notes:
(1) Computation of Presumptive Income from business of plying goods vehicles u/s 44AE:
Particulars Rs.
6 goods vehicles held throughout the year (Rs. 7,500×6×12) 5,40,000
2 goods vehicles held for 9 months (Rs. 7,500×2×9) 1,35,000
Presumptive Income as per 44AE 6,75,000
Note:
It is assumed that the goods vehicles owned by Mr. Deepak are other than heavy
goods vehicles.
(2) As per section 44AE, any deduction allowable under the provisions of sections 30
682
to 38 shall be deemed to have been already allowed. Therefore, the unabsorbed

depreciation of Rs. 70,000 shall not be allowed as a deduction since it is covered by section
32.
(3) Brought forward business loss of Rs. 1,00,000 shall be allowed as deduction, by
virtue of section 72, as it is allowed to be carried forward for 8 A.Y.s following the
A.Y. to which it relates, since the return for the A.Y. 2021-22 was filed before the due
date specified u/s 139(1).
(4) Fixed deposit kept with a scheduled bank in the name of son does not qualify for
deduction u/s 80C.
(5) Premium paid for insurance on the life of any child of the individual (whether married
or not), qualifies for deduction u/s 80C. In respect of policies issued on or after 01-
04-2013, only premium paid to the extent of 10% of capital sum assured qualifies
for deduction u/s 80C. Therefore, out of the life insurance premium of Rs. 25,000
paid for insurance policy of married daughter, only Rs. 20,000 (being 10% of Rs.
2,00,000) is qualified for deduction u/s 80C.
(6) Deduction is allowed u/s 80D for payment made for medical insurance of parents.
Medical insurance premium paid for insuring the health of a person who is a senior
citizen i.e. of age 60 years or more, qualifies for deduction u/s 80D, subject to a
maximum of Rs. 50,000. Hence, deduction of Rs. 28,000 is provided to Mr. Deepak,
as his parents are senior citizens.
(7) It is only the payment of interest on education loan which qualifies for deduction u/s
80E. Deduction u/s 80E is allowed in respect of interest on loan taken for education
of children of the individual even if they are not dependent. Principal repayment of
the education loan is not eligible for deduction u/s 80E.

Section 80TTB:
After Interest on deposit in a saving account of bank (1,000)
Interest on bank F.D (8625) (77,625)
684
Note:
(1) Since the residential house was constructed before 01-04-1999, the deduction for
interest is restricted to Rs. 30,000.
(2) Since 1/4th portion of house is used for business purposes, therefore, 1/4th share of
interest paid is deductible while computing business income.
(3) Agricultural income is exempt u/s 10(1) and share of income from HUF is exempt u/s
10(2).
(4) Term deposit of Rs. 1,50,000 in the name of minor daughter does not qualify for
deduction u/s 80C. Principal repayment of housing loan shall qualify for deduction
u/s 80C. But, the qualifying amount u/s 80C would be only Rs. 36,000 (i.e. 3/4th of
Rs. 48,000) and not the whole amount of Rs. 48,000 because only 3/4th portion is
assessed under the head house property.
(5) Depreciation on the portion of the house used for business purposes has not been
provided since the written down value is not given in the question.

2,700
Add: Health & Education Cess @ 4% 108
Total Tax Liability 2,808
Rounded-off u/s 288B 2,810
688
Note:
(1) Income from House Property:
Gross Annual Value (GAV) 2,40,000
Less: Municipal taxes paid (NIL)
Net Annual Value (NAV) 2,40,000
Less: Standard Deduction @ 30% of NAV u/s 24(a) (72,000)
Income from House Property 1,68,000
Note: In the absence of other information relating to municipal value, fair rent &
standard rent; rent received has been taken as the GAV.
(2) Since Mr. Pritam has not maintained books of accounts in respect of the business
of retail trade in grains and the turnover from such business is less than Rs. 100
lakhs, the income from such business would be computed on presumptive basis as
per section 44AD @ 8% of turnover. The income u/s 44AD is, therefore, Rs. 1,95,000,
being 8% × Rs. 24,37,500.
Alternatively, the presumptive income u/s 44AD could have been 6% of Rs. 24,37,500
i.e. Rs. 1,46,250 (assuming that the turnover has been received through account
payee cheques, drafts or through ECS).
(3) Business loss of a discontinued business can be carried forward and set-off against
the profits of an existing business in the subsequent years brought forward business
loss of Rs. 1,97,500 from discontinued textile business can be set-off against the
current year income of Rs. 1,95,000 from the business of retail trade. The balance
loss of Rs. 2,500 can be carried forward to the next year to be set-off against the
business income of that year.
(4) Cost of acquisition of bonus shares is Nil as per section 55. The period of holding
of bonus shares exceeds 24 months, therefore, it is a long-term capital asset and
the gain arising from sale of such shares shall be long- term capital gains. Further,
these shares are unlisted, long-term capital gains arising on sale of such shares
shall be taxable.
(5) Unabsorbed Depreciation u/s 32 can be carried forward indefinitely and set-off
against income under any head (except Salary). Section 44AD specifically provides
that while computing income of an eligible business on presumptive basis, any
deduction allowable u/s 30 to 38 shall be deemed to have been given full effect to
and no further deduction under those sections shall be allowed.
However, in the given problem, the unabsorbed depreciation relates to discontinued
textile business and not to the retail trade business (eligible business) in respect
of which income is computed on a presumptive basis u/s 44AD. Therefore, such
689
unabsorbed depreciation can be set-off against any income of the current year.
Accordingly, the same is adjusted against the long-term capital gains arising on
sale of unlisted bonus shares.
(6) In the above solution, the deductions under chapter VI-A and computation of tax
liability has been worked out by setting-off the unabsorbed depreciation against
long-term capital gains, which would be most beneficial for Mr. Pritam, since the
long-term capital gain is taxable @ 20%, whereas the normal income of Mr. Pritam
(i.e. Rs. 2,74,000) after such set- off would be taxable at 5%, which is the rate
applicable to the income slab which Mr. Pritam falls in. Therefore, the deduction u/s
80G is computed as follows:
Deduction u/s 80G:
Particulars ` v`
Contribution to National Children’s Fund - (Eligible for 30,000
100% Deduction)
Contribution to Charitable Trust Recognized for Section 40,000

Deduction shall be 50% of 10% of Adjusted Total
Income
[i.e. 50% × (10% × Rs. 3,20,000); or 50% of 40,000, 16,000

(whichever is lower)
Section 80TTA: 5,000 (5,000)
Interest from Saving Bank Account - [Note 6 below]
Notes:
(1) HRA is exempt to the extent of the least of the following u/s 10(13A)
(1) 50% of salary (as the city is Chennai) i.e. 50% of Rs. 2,40,000=Rs. 1,20,000
(2) Excess of rent paid over 10% of salary = Rs. 72,000 – Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 48,000
(3) Actual HRA received =5,000 × 12 = Rs. 60,000
Least of the above i.e. Rs. 48,000 is exempt u/s 10(13A).
(2) In the case of a person owning not more than 10 vehicles at any time during the
P.Y., estimated income from each vehicle will be deemed to be Rs. 7,500/- for every
month or part of the month during which the heavy vehicle is owned by the assessee
during the P.Y. [Section 44AE].
Therefore, Presumptive income = Rs. 7,500 × 10 = 75,000.
If, however, the assessee declares a higher amount, such amount will be considered
as income. In the instant case, since the assessee declares a lower amount, it
691
cannot be considered, since no books of account are maintained. Also, interest is not
deductible, since u/s 44AE, all deductions u/ss 30 to 38 are deemed to have been
allowed.
(3) Brought-forward loss from speculation business can be set-off only against income
from speculation business and not against other business income.
(4) Deduction u/s 80C:
Investment in notified equity linked saving scheme of UTI 12,000
Investment in PPF 52,000
Life insurance premium on own life restricted to 10% of sum assured 4,000
Tuition fees paid for two of his children (Most favourable to Ram) 25,000
Total Amount eligible for deduction u/s 80C 93,000
(5) Contribution to pension fund of LIC Rs. 15,000 is deductible u/s 80CCC.
(6) Deduction u/s 80TTA is allowed in respect of interest from Saving Bank Account upto
a maximum of Rs. 10,000. Therefore, interest from Saving Bank Account of Rs. 5,000
is allowed as deduction.
Answer 13
Computation of total income of Mr. Rahul for the A.Y. 2022-23
Particulars ` v`
Long-term capital gains on sale of unlisted shares 2,05,000
Less: Short-term capital loss on sale of property (Note 1) (55,000)
1,50,000
Less: Inter-head set-off of losses u/s 71 (Note 2):
Loss from profession (1,05,000)
Loss under the head house property [Rs. 15,000 (+) Rs. (45,000) Nil
30,000]
Income from card games 55,000
Winnings from lotteries 1,00,000 1,55,000
Less: Deductions under Chapter VIA (Note 4) (Nil)
Notes:
(1) As per section 74, short-term capital loss can be set-off against both short-term
capital gains and long-term capital gains.
692
Hence, short-term capital loss of Rs. 55,000 can be set-off against long-term
capital gains of Rs. 2,05,000 on sale of unlisted shares.
(2) Section 71 provides for set-off of loss from one head against income from another.
As per section 71(2), loss under any head of income, other than capital gains, can
be set-off against income under any head, including capital gains.
Therefore, loss of Rs. 1,05,000 from profession and loss of Rs. 45,000 from house
property (both let out and self-occupied) can be set-off against the net income of
Rs. 1,50,000 under the head “Capital Gains”.
(3) Loss from an exempt source cannot be set-off against profit from a taxable source.

since share of profit from firm is exempt u/s 10(2A).

connection with income by way of winnings from lotteries and income from card
games is allowable under any provision of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

winnings from lotteries, deduction under Chapter VI-A is not allowable from such
income.

medical insurance premium paid by cheque.
