The Supreme Court upheld a High Court order letting the tax department reassess the income of a former chief justice's sons, while the CGST rule 96(10) mandates the government to return recovered money. New tax guidance helps NRIs selling mutual funds to buy Indian homes, and a Statomat factory is back on auction for Rs 25‑28 cr. The Economic Times warns that current ESOP tax rules may hinder startups, and Meghalaya received Rs 688 cr in the latest central tax devolution. An ITAT ruling clarifies when unreported bank interest can avoid penalties, and the CBDT extended filing deadlines for certain assessees. The Supreme Court also rejected pleas from the ex‑CJI’s sons, and arbitration between Avathon and SparkCognition was withdrawn after mutual discussion.
