The Income Tax department will aim to issue faster and accurate refunds this financial year and introduce new taxpayer friendly services. In her maiden interaction with the top IT brass, newly-appointed CBDT Chairperson Poonam Kishore Saxena has asked officials to ensure timely refunds and hassle-free services for taxpayers which are the major areas of grievance for a common man.
Vide Order No. 170 of 2012 dated 27.08.2012 the CBDT has ordered the distribution of work amongst the Chairman and the Members of the CBDT.
Statute consisting of Act and Rules speak of filing of return before due date and contents of that must be furnished in that return. The format has been prescribed by the Rules and also the contents have been prescribed by the Rules. Filing of the return also has been prescribed by the Act. Nowhere in the Act or Rules, there is a mandatory provision that the return must be filed only electronically.
Notification No. 34/2012-Income Tax In exercise of the powers conferred by section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Income-tax Rules, 1962, namely:- 1. (1) These rules may be called the Income-tax (Ninth Amendment) Rules, 2012.
There is no distinction in principle between a slot charter and a voyage charter of a part of a ship. They are both in a sense charterers of a space in a ship. The phrase “operation of ships” in Article 9 must be understood in the context of the phrase “the business of operation of ships” in s. 44B. As income from slot hire agreements falls within s. 44B it must be held to be within the ambit of Article 9(1).
It is now a settled proposition of law that the Appellate Tribunal under section 254(1) of the Act, had no power to take back the benefit conferred by the Assessing Officer or enhance the assessment. Once the matter has been restored by the Tribunal, the income cannot be enhanced from what was determined at the time of original assessment proceedings, which was the subject matter of dispute before the Tribunal. This proposition of law has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Hukumchand Mills Ltd. v/s CIT, [1966] 62 ITR 232 (SC), and had now been reiterated in Mcorp Global (P) Ltd. (supra). Therefore, in view of this proposition of law, the enhancement of assessment by making 100% disallowance in respect of free food allowance cannot be sustained and the same is restricted to 50%, as was made by the Assessing Officer in the original round of proceedings. Consequently, this ground is allowed to this extent only.
A look into the original assessment order clearly show that but for the deduction allowed to the assessee as claimed by it in its return, there was no discussion as to how Section 36(1)(viia) was applied and whether the limits were corrected worked out. Admittedly, no question was asked to the assessee during the course of assessment proceedings also with regard to the claim made by it under Section 36(1)(viia),
Assessee put forth his claim for exemption under section 10(23G) of the Act with respect to three different incomes, namely, (1) interest from SSNNL bonds, (2) interest from GIPCL bonds, and (3) capital gain from sale of shares by GPEC. Such claim was supported by the notes forming part of the return of income. It is not as if the Assessing Officer did not notice these claims.
Even if the assessee as well as the authorities below agree that the internal comparables are sufficient for the TP study in the present case, that does not justify the legal compulsion of examining the external comparables as well. An agreement, arrived at on the basis of incorrect premises between the contending parties, does not determine the legality or otherwise of the course of action opted by them. The course of action must be determined strictly on the basis of the words of the statute and not by the consensus of the contending parties.
By looking at the aims and objectives of the assessee’s-society it was apparent that one of the objectives was construction of suitable memorials in the memory of war heroes but the other objects to be taken up the assessee-society by way of setting up educational institutions, arranging seminars, holding meetings/conferences and to organize lecture exhibition etc.,
