CA Anand Parkash, FCA, addressed a letter dated 30.4.2012 to Delhi High Court in which he set out the numerous difficulties faced by Income Tax assessees country wide due to the faulty processing of the Income Tax Returns and the TDS deducted at source and request that certain directions be issued by this Hon’ble Court so that lakhs of tax payers are saved from the harassment in filing revised returns/rectification petitions every year.
In this case it is an undisputed fact that the tax on the entire income received by these assessees was required to be deducted at source at the appropriate rates by the respective payers u/s 195 of the Act . The Revenue have not placed before us any material controverting these findings of the ld. CIT(A) nor pointed out any contrary decision so as to enable us to take a different view in the matter.
It is a fact that the inaccuracy involved in instant case is of Rs. 124.04 lakhs which works out to nearly 6 per cent of the profits and the assessee describes the same as trivial and ignorable. Stand of revenue in this regard is that the Assessing Officer has only to establish the inaccuracy in the books of account maintained by the assessee and the triviality or otherwise is not the issue. The provisions are clear that in principle the Assessing Officer can assume jurisdiction under section 145 either for the reasoning of the ‘incompleteness of the books or for the reasoning of the inaccuracy of the same.
Section 40 is applicable only when deductions under Sections 30 to 38 are being made in computing the income chargeable under the head profits and gains of business or profession under Section 28. The exception in Section 40 is carved out, only for the purpose of Section 28 and not for computing the exemption of income of a charitable trust under Section 11.
There is no dispute that during the course of assessment proceedings the assessee while explaining the source of jewellery interalia stated that Mrs. Darshana K. Jethani has received jewellery of gold and diamond by way of ‘Will’ of Smt.Lachmi Ukarmal Mangtani, her grandmother. In support, he also placed on record the copy of the said will for verification and also stated that the said will was executed in the presence of Dr.Murli M. Ratnani (PAN- address).
Even if any provision of law is mandatory and provides for charging of tax or interest, the view taken in CIT vs. Ranchi Club Ltd 247 ITR 209 (SC) is that such charge by the assessing officer should be specific and clear and assessee must be made to know that the assessing officer has applied its mind and has ordered charging of interest. The mandatory nature of charging of interest and the actual charging of interest by application of mind and the mention of the proviso of law under which such interest is charged are two different things.
In the instant appeal, there are total three grounds. Ground No. 3 is general in nature. Ground Nos. 1 and 2 raises the same issue. Both impugn the directions issued by Ld. CIT (A) to the AO to re-compute the deduction u/s 80HHC in accordance with the decision of Hon’ble Special Bench of ITAT Mumbai in the case of Topman Exports 318 ITR 87 in view of the fact that the above decision has been reversed by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on 29.6.2010.
It is noticed that the appellant-assess sold the agricultural land, which was mutated in his name, for a sale consideration of Rs. 1,61,09,100/-. Thereafter out of the selling price, the appellant-assessee purchased land in the name of his son and daughter-in-law for a total consideration of Rs. 1,22,71,440/-. It is relevant to note that the land sold was in the name of appellant-assessee, while the land purchased was in the name of his son and daughter-in-law.7. A bare reading of Section 54B of the Income Tax Act does not suggest that assessee would be entitled to get exemption for the land purchased by him in the name of his son and daughter-in-law.
In terms of the provisions of section 194C(2) as clarified by the Board vide its Circular No. 715, dated 8-8-1995, conditions to be satisfied are (i) that the assessee should be a contractor, (ii) that the assessee should enter into a contract with a sub-contractor, (iii) that the sub-contractor should carry out any part of the work undertaken by the contractor and (iv) that the payment should be made for the work done. In a case, when a ‘contract’ is assigned, generally the clauses are stringent that the contractor is to be responsible for all the acts and defaults committed.
