E filing of income tax


E filing of income taxYou have just three more days to file your income-tax returns. If you want to do it without much bother, you should consider efiling. It's simple if you take care of a few things. You need to go to the website incometaxindiaefiling .gov.in, and download the relevant returns form (ITR 1 to 7) based on your sources of income. For instance, if your only sources of income are salary /pension, interest income and income/loss from one house property, then you can use ITR 1. The website explains who should use which. Select the Excel version of the form. Very importantly, enable Macros in the form. People often fail to do that because the 'Enable Macros' messaging is not very clear on the website/form.


A help file that gets downloaded with the Excel form explains how to enable Macros. If Macros are not enabled, many of the required fields in the form do not perform their required functions. Read other instructions on the website and then fill up all the mandatory fields in all the forms. Particularly ensure that you have written your PAN number correctly. Pressing the 'Calculate Tax' button on the form tells you how much tax you need to pay or how much you need to be refunded (you don't need to know anything about tax rates). You need to go to the website incometaxindiae-filing.gov.in and download the relevant returns form (ITR 1 to 7) based on your sources of income.

Divya Bharti


Divya Bharti One of Divya’s most veritable assets as a commercial heroine was her ability to dance. Dil Ka Kya Kasoor featured Divya as a budding poet and her co-star Prithvi as a charming singer. No wonder then that the film was a musical extravaganza and Divya was at her best singing, frolicking and flashing her million-dollar smile.The multi-starrer Shatranj was the last official Divya Bharti movie released in the theatres. The film featured Jackie Shroff, Mithun Chakraborty, Juhi Chawla and Kader Khan apart from Divya. The film was inspired by Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and like the original was a regular family comedy.


Divya again was at ease doing bits of comedy interspersed by romantic scenes with Mithun. The talking point of the film was that this would be the last time film buffs would see the beautiful Divya Bharti on the big screen.The film also had its fair share of tragedy as Divya’s character was shown affected with cancer. She sailed through the melodrama as easily as she charmed the audiences with her smileShola Aur Shabnam (199Reportedly, it was during Shola Aur Shabnam that Divya fell in love with her soon to-be husband and filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala.


But off screen stories aside, David Dhawan’s Shola Aur Shabnam was classic masala fare. Divya seemed at ease switching between comedy and romance as she matched Govinda step to step. Particularly memorable were the scenes of conflict between NCC cadet boys headed by Govinda and the girl guides headed by Divya.

Flash news


Flash newsSome of the most popular videos on the Internet involve hundreds of people suddenly breaking out in dance moves in unison in unusual settings -- subway stations, public parks, beaches. These spontaneous group performances are known as flash mobs, and though they're intended to catch onlookers by surprise, they usually require careful advance planning. The Los Angeles company Flash Mob America actually makes it their business to organize and choreograph flash mob performances -- and they're coming to Roanoke. Company co-founder Staci Lawrence said Friday a crowd will break into impromptu dance somewhere in Roanoke at 2 p.m. on Aug. 6, though she declined to say where.


First, the dancers have to be recruited. Flash Mob America is asking people interested in taking part to sign up on its website. Once you've signed up, you'll receive an email with further instructions and links to a video that teaches you the choreography. Participants will be emailed the time, date and place for a group rehearsal, but won't be notified of the actual location of the final performance until Aug. 5, Lawrence said. Lawrence said that she and her business partner, Conroe Brooks, never intended to have a flash mob company. The pair organized a flash mob on their own in 2009 to pay tribute to pop icon Michael Jackson after his death. To their surprise, they were then hired by Universal Music Group to organize a flash mob as a surprise for Janet Jackson -- they had to create the co

Bank of baroda


Bank of barodaLKP is bullish on Bank of Baroda (BoB) and has recommended buy rating on the stock with a target of Rs 1086 in its July 28, 2011 research report. “Bank of Baroda (BoB), reported PAT growth of 20% yoy Q1FY12. NII and PAT for Q1FY12 were inline with our full estimates for FY12. Advances of the bank grew by 25%/2.1% yoy /qoq. Domestic credit grew by 24%/(0.5)% yoy/ qoq driven by growth in SME by 31%/3.7% yoy/qoq and retail 24%/(4.6)% yoy/qoq. Management has guided that the bank will grow advances 200-300 bps ahead of industry growth. However, the traction in loan book seen in previous years is likely to slow due to lower sanctions in FY12.


Further increase in lending rates beyond its July 2011 base rate hike is likely to moderate credit demand. The bank’s deposit grew by 23%/2.5% yoy/qoq while CASA grew 17%/(0.4)% yoy/qoq. The bank maintained CD ratio ~74% and CASA share of ~28%. However, the outlook and trend in domestic CASA does show a possibility of pressure on CASA share.” “NIMs for Q1FY12 were 2.9% v/s 2.9%/3.1% yoy/qoq (Q4FY11 NIMs adjusted for tax refund). Higher cost of funds and lower pass on through yields on the domestic book has resulted in lower NIMs qoq. The bank has raised deposit rates by 100bps in Q4FY11 and base rate by 75bps in Q1FY12 and subsequently in July 2011. Thus we expect the impact to show up in Q2FY12 NIMs. Going forward we expect NIMs to remain under pressure as monetary policy tightening continues.”
