PREFACE
Knowledge is wealth but it is proved when it is utilized wisely in practical aspects. In this day and age the above statement is of paramount importance especially for an M.B.A. student. Equipped with the theoretical knowledge, an M.B.A. student can apply the same in practical life to gain some valuable experience. This project study provides such an opportunity. It familiarizes me with the corporate world as well as the challenges, which are in store for me after getting an M.B.A. Degree. I SURENDRA SHARMA, the student of Faculty of Management Studies, Mohan Lal Sukhadia University, Udaipur was placed with kdk Software(I) for a period of 45 days. Being thoroughly managed organization we had a good opportunity to put over theoretical knowledge in to practices. During the 45 days in the institution we worked on the various operation. Needles to say these 45 days constitute one of the most interesting and rewarding periods of our MBA programme. I gained valuable experience working on this project and I hope that this presentation will prove to be useful to all concerned. However I believe that there is no end to knowledge and learning process changes from time to time.

INTRODUCTION

India has a well developed tax structure with a three-tier federal structure, comprising the Union Government, the State Governments and the Urban/Rural Local Bodies. The power to levy taxes and duties is distributed among the three tiers of Governments, in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Constitution. The main taxes/duties that the Union Government is empowered to levy are Income Tax (except tax on agricultural income, which the State Governments can levy), Customs duties, Central Excise and Sales Tax and Service Tax. The principal taxes levied by the State Governments are Sales Tax (tax on intra-State sale of goods), Stamp Duty (duty on transfer of property), State Excise (duty on manufacture of alcohol), Land Revenue (levy on land used for agricultural/non-agricultural purposes), Duty on Entertainment and Tax on Professions & Callings. The Local Bodies are empowered to levy tax on properties (buildings, etc.), Octroi (tax on entry of goods for use/consumption within areas of the Local Bodies), Tax on Markets and Tax/User Charges for utilities like water supply, drainage, etc.

Since 1991 tax system in India has under gone a radical change, in line with liberal economic policy and WTO commitments of the country. Some of the changes are: Reduction in customs and excise duties Lowering corporate Tax Widening of the tax base and toning up the tax administration Direct Taxes Personal Income Tax Individual income slabs are 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% for annual incomes upto Rs 50,000, 50,000 - 60,000, 60,000 - 1,50,000 and above 1,50,000 respectively. Corporate Income Tax For domestic companies, this is levied @ 35% plus surcharge of 5%, where as for a foreign company (including branch/project offices), it is @ 40% plus surcharge of 5%. An Indian registered company, which is a subsidiary of a foreign company, is also considered an Indian company for this purpose.

CONCLUSION Most of the corporate companies/hotels/PSU /CA associates have know about the various software in taxation domain. In Mumbai more than 80% corporate know about the taxation software 20% outsourcing the taxation work by advocate or other outsourcing companies.

Mostly corporate in jaipur /Mumbai not satisfied with current taxation software for example e-filling features not provided ,error locator etc. features not included .

Mostly TDS software demanded in various corporate and ROC and FAR software mostly demanded by CA associates companies. Pdf digital signer not so much popular because in TDS software already included this features and even single used of this software application not generated in corporate.

LIMITATIONS

The study is basically based on the primary data& observation, hence the probability of personal bias cannot be over rule.

This study is conducted only in some part (RIICO, SITAPURA & HOTELS) of jaipur due to limited time constraints , so that results are confined to that area only. Sometimes data could not be collected correctly as sometimes respondents did not respond seriously due to not pick-up transfer call or busy in meetings so their response may not reflect the real pictures. Major limitation is that basically beat corporate in mumbai /Hyderabad/ delhi / NCR so respondent scale in jaipur was very small which may not be true representative of population. RECOMMENDATIONS

Full USP provided to sales person about the software Effective quotation according to user requirement of companies. In the upgrade version of software including customer feedback and suggestion. Evaluation test for sales team after company training session. Special pricing strategies for competitor customers for switch the current service. Proper follow up process after the demo were done by the team . Pdf digital signer software one month trial version were promoted in corporate its developed the requirement.
