Understanding UPI Transaction Limits and Tax Implications Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized digital transactions in India, but many users remain unaware of the tax implications and transaction limits associated with it. While the Income Tax Department tracks all types of transactions, including cash deposits, fixed deposits (FDs), and credit card transactions, it hasn't specified a specific limit for UPI transactions. However, this doesn't mean that you can carry out unlimited transactions without any consequences. This article will provide comprehensive information on UPI transaction limits and tax-related considerations to help you avoid potential notices from the Income Tax Department. UPI Transactions and Income Tax Tracking Like all your other financial activities, the Income Tax Department also tracks your UPI transactions. If your annual UPI transactions are below ₹50,000, there is generally no cause for concern. Transactions below this threshold, including both credits and debits, typically do not attract scrutiny or notices from the department. However, one type of transaction excluded from this limit is when you repay money borrowed through UPI. What If Your UPI Transactions Exceed ₹50,000? Many individuals, including myself, often exceed ₹50,000 in annual UPI transactions. There's no need to panic if these transactions are genuine, such as payments to shopkeepers or vendors. The key factor the Income Tax Department considers is whether your UPI transactions match your Income Tax Returns (ITR). For instance, if your UPI transactions amount to ₹2,00,000 in a year and your ITR reflects this, there's typically no issue. Problems arise if there's a significant discrepancy, which might trigger a notice. Cashback and Rewards from UPI Transactions Economy

Telangana Government Implements Comprehensive Crop Loan Waiver Scheme The Government of Telangana has issued new guidelines for the Crop Loan Waiver Scheme 2024, aiming to support the state's agricultural sector. This initiative seeks to alleviate the financial burdens of farmers by waiving crop loans, thereby enhancing the rural economy's stability. Significance of Agriculture in Telangana In Telangana, approximately 60% of the population lives in rural areas, primarily dependent on farming, animal husbandry, dairy, and fisheries. The agriculture sector contributes significantly to the state's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), accounting for 18% in the fiscal year 2024-25. However, the sector is vulnerable to frequent droughts and other calamities, which often lead to distress among small and marginal farmers. Recognizing the critical need for sectoral recovery, the state government has prioritized large-scale public investment and direct support to farmers. Introduction to the Crop Loan Waiver Scheme 2024 The Telangana government has introduced the Crop Loan Waiver Scheme 2024 to address the financial challenges faced by farmers. This scheme covers institutional loans and excludes loans from non-institutional sources. The scheme aims to break the cycle of debt that traps farmers, particularly those who rely on high-interest loans for agricultural inputs. Scope and Eligibility of the Crop Loan Waiver Scheme The scheme applies to short-term production loans and crop loans against gold provided by scheduled commercial banks, cooperative credit institutions (including urban cooperative banks), and regional rural banks. The waiver covers amounts up to Rs. 1 lakh per family, including principal and applicable interest, but excludes processing, legal, insurance, and inspection charges. The scheme covers loans sanctioned or renewed after April 1, 2014, and outstanding as of December 11, 2024. Exclusions from the Waiver Scheme Certain types of loans are excluded from the waiver scheme, including: • Advances against pledge or hypothecation of agricultural produce other than standing crop • Tie-up loans • Closed crop loan accounts and written-off loans • Loans to Joint Liability Groups (JLGs), Rythu Mitra Groups (RMGs), and Lift Irrigation Schemes (LECs) • Restructured or rescheduled loans Definition of Short-Term Production Loans Short-term production loans are loans given for raising crops, repayable within 18 months. This category also includes working capital loans for traditional and non-traditional plantation and horticulture crops. Implementation Guidelines The implementation of the Crop Loan Waiver Scheme involves several steps: 1. Development of an IT Portal: The Commissioner of Agriculture will develop an IT portal for data collection, processing, and finalization of beneficiaries' outstanding and eligible amounts. 2. Preparation of Farmer Lists: Each lending institution will prepare village-wise lists of farmers with outstanding crop loans as of December 11, 2024. These lists will be compared and verified to eliminate duplicates and false claims. 3. Verification and Social Audit: The verification process involves several steps, including cross-verification by Co-op. Department auditors, scrutiny of data in the IT portal, and a social audit conducted in the villages. 4. Finalization and Approval: The final lists of eligible farmers will be prepared, approved by district-level committees, and uploaded to the IT portal for processing. 5. Schedule of Loan Waiver: Farmers with loans up to Rs. 25,000 will have their loans Telangana State
