Amendment of section 44DA.

24. In section 44DA of the Income-tax Act, in sub-section (2), for the words “and furnish along with the return of income,”, the words, figures and letters “before the specified date referred to in section 44AB and furnish by that date” shall be substituted.

 



 

Notes on Clauses:

Clause 24 of the Bill seeks to amend section 44DA of the Income-tax Act relating to special provision for computing income by way of royalties, etc., in case of non-residents.

Sub-section (2) of the said section provides that every non-resident (not being a company) or a foreign company shall keep and maintain books of account and other documents in accordance with the provisions contained in section 44AA and get their accounts audited by an accountant as defined in the Explanation below sub-section (2) of section 288 and furnish the report of such audit in the prescribed form along with the return of income.

It is proposed to amend the said sub-section so as to provide that the non-resident (not being a company) or a foreign company should get the accounts audited before the specified date referred to in section 44AB (i.e. one month prior to the due date for filing of return under sub-section (1) of section 139) and furnish the report of audit by that date.

This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2020 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2020-2021 and subsequent assessment years.
