Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of R.K. Jain (supra) has observed that in case of search material, the same is to be assessed by way of block assessment under Chapter XIV-B. Similar view is echoed by Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Dr. M.K. E. Menon and by Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in N.R. Paper & Board Ltd. & others (supra). A similar view has been upheld by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Manish Maheshwari (supra). In view of above, we are of the view that the impugned addition of Rs. 83 lacs cannot be made in the hands of the assessee on protective basis by taking recourse to sec. 143(3). Thus, the additional ground of the assessee is allowed.
In this case, there is no dispute that no dividend had been paid to any of the shareholders after 1.4.2003 on which date Section 115-O of the Act was introduced in its present form. The accumulation in the reserves was allowed to be increased considerably. It may be noted that the major shares are held by the ‘A’ group and only 1.76% of shares are outstanding with the general public. The payment of dividend in the normal course by a company making profits, would have meant that the applicant would have been obliged to pay tax on distribution of profits to its shareholders.
It is clear from this proviso that where assessee transfers his capital asset after 30th September of the financial year he gets an opportunity to make an investment of Rs.50 lakhs each in two different financial years and is able to claim exemption upto Rs.1 Crore u/s 54EC of the Act. Since the language of the proviso is clear and unambiguous, we have no hesitation in holding that the assessee is entitled to get exemption upto Rs.1 Crore in this case. Since the wording of the proviso to section 54EC is clear, the benefits which are available to the assessee cannot be denied. In view of above, it is hereby held that the assessee is entitled for exemption of Rs.1 crore as six months’ period for investment in eligible investments involved is two financial years.
Although interest paid to the head office of the assessee bank by its Indian branch which constitutes its PE in India is not deductible as expenditure under the domestic law being payment to self, the same is deductible while determining the profit attributable to the PE which is taxable in India as per the provisions of article 7(2) & 7(3) of the Indo¬Japanese treaty read with paragraph 8 of the protocol which are more beneficial to the assessee.
The assessee has not claimed depreciation on goodwill it acquired commercial rights to sell products under the trade name and paid consideration in dispute for acquiring marketing and territorial rights to sell through dealers and distributors i.e. the network created by the seller for sale in India. Under the agreement. It become entitled to use of infrastructure developed by the seller. Rights were acquired since 1.4.1998 and these rights have all along been treated as an asset entitled to depreciation and depreciation was actually allowed in the past.
