In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 120 of the Income-tax Act 1961 (43 of 1961) the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby makes the following amendments to the notification of the Government of India Ministry of Finance Department of Revenue.
The Companies Act, 1956 requires every company registered under the Act to file various returns and forms with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), from time to time.Irrespective of the size and type of a company — private or public, listed or unlisted, profit- or loss-making — it has to file a minimum of two returns every year with the RoC — annual accounts and annual return.
The assessee’s contention that above income is to be assessed under the head other sources as he is not owner of the premises, is well taken and is required to be accepted. There is no question of estimating annual letting value of the property. It is to be assessed as per agreement between the parties under the head other sources. The Revenue authorities were not justified in assessing rental income under the head house property. On facts of the case, we direct the AO to take assessee’s rental income under the head other sources. The assessee would also be entitled to consequential relieves under the law. This ground of appeal of the assessee is accepted.
