"(v) Exemption on interest on deposits made by the senior citizens will be limited to LKR1.5Mn per annum."

Rs.1m is the maximum deposit made by senior citizens at the rate of 15% per year. At the end of the year Rs. 150,000 will be the interest income which is entirely tax free.

Budget 2016 proposal to increase senior citizens deposit from Rs.1m to Rs.1.5m was not implemented. 

Did 2017 budget implement 2016 budget proposal?? Rs.1,5m???

Thanks Chinwi. Please let us know.
Ravi K told there is no capital gain tax for share market before the budget. I am not clear what he meant by capital gain on share market. Yesterday someone asked from RK about it in FT post budget forum (on U tube). But Ravi not answered to that question.

Profit = Realized gain (profit) ? = taxed.

Many will indicate the low selling price in the sale contract or deed intentionally to pay less CGT in the future. In that case, there must be a system of independent valuation of the property subject to sale where some malpractices arise. Strict rules are required to monitor the CGT system without loopholes.

Respective Provincial Council offices have valuation officers to value immovable properties. So, they may go by that valuation in case under valuation is suspected.
