Notification No.40 /2012-Customs (ADD) Seeks to levy anti-dumping duty on imports of Metronidazole, originating in, or exported from People’s Republic of China, for a further period of five years
Representations have been received from trade as well as the field formations regarding the applicable rate of additional duty of customs (CVD) on Fertilizers when imported into India. Doubts have arisen in view of the fact that in Notification No. 12/2012-Customs, dated 17-03-2012, except for Serial Number 200(ii) [where the CVD rate of 1% is mentioned in column (5)] the entry in this column for all other Serial Nos. is

It has been observed that a large part of litigation in the Direct Taxes matters involves interpretation of legal provisions. Lack of desired clarity on a contentious legal issue, amongst the officers of the department, sometimes leads to inconsistent approach on the same issue giving rise to further litigation.

After examination of the activities of the assessee samiti and after considering CBDT Circular No. 11/2008, dated 19-12-2008, it is found that the admitted facts of the case under consideration are that the assessee-trust is carrying on the activities in respect of medical relief.

The assessee’s case, and on the basis of which it found favour with the first appellate authority, is that the transfer in the first five (5) cases stood effected much prior the relevant year, i.e., on 15-01-1998
The assessee had disclosed full details in the Return of Income in the matter of its dealing in stocks and shares. According to the assessee, the loss incurred was a business loss, whereas, according to the Revenue, the loss incurred was a speculative loss. Rejection of the objections of the assessee to the re-opening of the assessment by the Assessing Officer vide his Order dated 23rd June, 2006, is clearly a change of opinion. In the circumstances, we are of the view that the order re-opening the assessment was not maintainable.
