The Myths on Reinvestment Allowance (RA)

What is RA?

The allowance is given for 15 years from the first year of claim. The allowance is computed at 60% of QCE incurred and can be utilised against 70% of statutory income.

The allowance will be withdrawn if the asset for which the allowance is granted is disposed of within five years
