Clawback of commissions.No. of comments:13 Murli Krishnamurthy, PUne, 0084 On 29-Jul-2015This is the tax season, and a lot of us would be grappling with the concept of income.
A lot of upfront brokerage is "Clawback"able proportionately and upfront brokerage on "Beyond 15" is completely "clawback"able, if the investments are withdrawn before the "exit load" period or "1 year" as the case may be respectively.
If one offers the upfront received as income for tax purposes, and pays tax thereon, and if the subsequent year, due to volatile markets there are withrawals, such brokerages on which tax has been paid would be reversible. This would lead to inconsistency in the income year to year.
Any thoughts on how one could manage it.
