Sustainable phosphorus management in calcareous soils: problems and prospects

1 month ago | tandfonline.com | Muhammad Adnan |Shah Fahad |Muhammad Saleem |Rattan Lal

AbstractPhosphorus (P) availability in soil depends on many factors including soil moisture, pH, texture, type of clay, drainage, root density, lime, and organic matter contents. That’s why, one third (30–40%) of global cultivated land experiences P deficiency. In calcareous soils, P is fixed by adsorption and precipitation reactions with Ca+2 and Mg+2 and form insoluble calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite due to high pH and abundant calcium concentrations.

Wrong classification of cash withdrawals as income - ITR - Income Tax

Jul 29, 2023 | caclubindia.com | Rattan Lal

My bank deducted TDS on cash withdrawals exceeding Rs.20 lacs during last year( I had filed ITRs for the last 3 years, but neither the bank demanded nor I provided them copies of the returns). The amount exceeding Rs.20 lacs has been clsssifed as cash withdrawals in TIS and AIS and shown u/s 194N therein, but has been shown under Sec 194NF in stead in Form 26AS. Now IT department has served me notice to show this as income in my ITR.
