The recent announcement by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to abolish the so-called “Angel Tax” has sparked excitement across the startup ecosystem. But before the celebrations begin, it's crucial to delve into what this decision truly entails, the benefits it brings, and any potential pitfalls. 🔍 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝘅 The term "Angel Tax" isn't actually mentioned in the Income Tax Act.

Recently, an incident highlighted the importance of this message. Last week, while finalizing tax returns for a long-time client, I needed to verify some details which required an OTP. When I called my client, his assistant answered and, without hesitation, offered to share the OTP. Though she trusted me as her employer's CA, this moment made me realize the potential risks involved. I paused the conversation to emphasize an important security protocol: Never share your OTP with anyone, no matter the circumstances. OTPs protect sensitive transactions and personal information, and sharing them can lead to security breaches and fraud.
