General Circular No. 28/2012 This Ministry had issued General Circular No. 21/2012, dated 2-8-2012 for extending time for filing e-form 23AC and 23ACA (non-XBRL) as per revised Schedule VI without any additional fees/penalty up to 15-9-2012 or within 30 days from the date of their AGM, which ever later.

In the present case, if the Assessing Officer had returned a finding that the premises were to be valued at market value (of the rental), in case it increased as a result of the renovations, the only prescribed mode was to apply the method indicated by Rule 3 (a) (iii) of the Valuation Rules. The AO could not have included the entire expenses, and spread it over a period of five years, for the purpose of saying that the whole of such expense constituted a perquisite.
In the instant case, no where the assessee-firm is considered as the tenant. In the partnership deed dated 4-4-1990 also, it is stated that all rights over trade name, goodwill license and permits shall belong to the partners.

The only dispute is whether the land was an ‘asset’ within the meaning of section 2(ea) and, therefore, liable to wealth-tax or the land along with the superstructure can be considered as ‘residential house’ and, therefore, can be considered to be an exempted asset under section 5(vi).
The question that arises for consideration in instant case is, whether the payment made by the assessee of Rs. 1.74 crore against the total amount of Rs. 3.61 crore, which included the interest of Rs. 1.83 crore under Section 220(2) and 234-B, was paid as tax or interest.
As rightly pointed out by the Commissioner (Appeals), there was a mistake of taking number of days. Therefore, according to Assessing Officer’s own method it should be 186 days. If the date of arrival was excluded as it was not a complete day, the stay of assessee was less than 182 days. Accordingly, there was no merit in the revenue appeal. The case law relied was in support of the contention that day of arrival, particularly late in the day should be excluded. If that day was excluded the stay in India by assessee was less than 180 days. Therefore, assessee’s salary was not taxable in India.
