PRESS RELEASE NO. 402/92/2006-MC (40 OF 2010) The Central Board of Direct Taxes have extended the time limit for filing ITR-V forms relating to income tax returns filed electronically (without digital signature) for the assessment year (AY) 2009-10 up to 31st December 2010, or 120 days from the date of filing, whichever is later.
In a significant case relating to Customs Valuation, a recent judgement dated 26.07.2010 of the Honorable Supreme Court has confirmed the duty demand against a leading importer of Whiskeys, M/s Pernod Ricard India Private Limited (earlier known as Seagram India Private Limited). The case pertains to imports between 1994 and 2001 involving duty evasion of about Rs 40 Crores. M/s Seagram would thus have to deposit this entire amount now. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. In addition finalization of provisional assessments on imports of the goods by M/s Seagram from 2001 is likely to result in significant revenue to the government.
