So, the Upcoming Budget 2018 will be the last Budget for BJP Government to attract the voters.
Moreover, the Government Approval rating has seen coming down sharply in the recent months, due to slow financial growth, failure of the Demonitization policy and recent train accidents.

HUF Tax Slab
The term ‘Hindu undivided family’ has not been defined in the Income-tax Act. However, in general parlance it means an undivided family of Hindus. Creation of a HUF is a God-gifted phenomenon.
As soon as a married Hindu gets a child, a new HUF Tax Slabcomes into existence. It is not at all necessary that every HUF must have joint property or family income. [R. Subramania Iyer v. CIT (1955) 28, ITR, 352]. However, to become an assessee under the Income-tax Act, there must be ‘income-yielding’ joint property of the family.
Firm Tax Slab
When a firm is assessed as such for any assessment year, it shall be assessed in the same capacity for every subsequent year if there is no change in the constitution of the firm or in the shares of partners as evidenced by the partnership deed on the basis of which assessment as a firm was first sought.
AMT – Income Tax Slab 2017-18 (AY 2018-19)
Where the regular income tax payable for a previous year by a person other than a company is less than the alternate minimum tax payable for such previous year then the adjusted total income shall deemed to be the total income of that person for such previous year and it shall be liable to pay income tax on such adjusted total income @ 18.5% plus education & SHEC @ 3%.
Upto Assessment Year 2012-13, Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT) was levied on limited liability partnerships (LLPs). However, no such tax was levied on the other form of business organisations such as partnership firms, sole proprietorship, association of persons, etc.
In order to widen the tax base vis-Ã -vis profit linked deductions, the provisions regarding AMT has been broaden to cover all persons other than a company, who has claimed deduction under any section (other than section 80P) included in Chapter VI-A under the heading “C – Deductions in respect of certain incomes” or under section 10AA, shall be liable to pay AMT.
AOP Tax Slab
Section 67A seeks to provide for the method of computing a member’s share in the income of an association of persons or a body of individuals, wherein the shares of the members are determinate, in the same manner as provided for in Sub-sections (1) to (3) of Section 67 for computing a partner’s share in a firm.
Co-operative Society Tax Slab
The income of a co-operative society is computed in the same manner as provided for other assessees. Further, the subsidy given by the government to a co-operative society for meeting managerial expenses and admission fee collected by the society is treated as revenue receipt and liable to tax. [Ludhiana Central Co-operative Consumers’ Stores Ltd. v. C.I.T. (1980) 122, I.T.R. 942].
