INSTRUCTION NO. 6/2011 [F.NO.187/12/2010-ITA-I], DATED 8-4-2011 Reference may kindly be made to Board’s Instruction No. 1/11, dated 31-1-2011 which lays down revised monetary limit of cases to be assessed by DCsIT/ACsIT in metro cities and mofussil areas w.e.f. 1-4-2011. Some CCsIT have expressed the view that the limits fixed in the aforesaid Instruction, if strictly enforced would lead to unequal distribution of workload between the ACITs and the ITOs in some of the charges
Nagindas P. Sheth (HUF) vs. ACIT (ITAT Mumbai) -Merely because assessee transacted in 158 shares that should not be taken as a sole criterion to come to the conclusion that assessee is a trader in shares. It is not in dispute that in the books of accounts assessee has declared the shares as an investment and the finding of the learned CIT (A) that only own funds were utilised for purchase of shares was not contradicted by the learned DR. It was also highlighted by the learned CIT(A) that assessee had not indulged in any squaring-up of the transactions on the same day. On a conspectus of the matter, we are of the view that the transactions of purchase and sale of shares, in the instant case, deserves to be considered as investment and profit thereon has to be assessed to tax under the head ‘capital gains’.
Himachal Pardesh High court in an important recent Judgment namely M/s Durga Dass Devki Nandan.V Income-tax Officer, Palampur decided on 11-03-2011 has held the circular No 739 dated 25-03-1996 of CBDT as invalid. The said circular is on the issue of availability of deduction to a partnership firm in relation to remuneration available to partners of a firm u/s 40(b)(v) of Income Tax Act 1961. The said circular stated that the deduction u/s 40(b)(v) will be available only if the remuneration to partners is authorized by the partnership deed by way of specification of amount of remuneration therein or by way of quantification of remuneration.
The government has decided to issue biometric PAN cards to taxpayers across the country to weed out the problem of duplicate and fake ones. The decision was taken recently by the Finance Ministry and it comes in the wake of a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report that asked the Income Tax department to ensure that a single tax payer is not issued multiple cards.
M/s Durga Dass Devki Nandan vs. ITO (HP High Court) – The CBDT circular can only be held to be valid if it is in terms of the main section. As held above, the Section 40(b)(v) only lays down that either the working partner should be paid an amount specified in the partnership deed or it should not exceed the amount laid down in the Section. In the present case the partners have been paid their remuneration/salary strictly in accordance with the terms of the partnership deed and this amount paid to the partners does not exceed the maximum permissible amount and therefore, the assessee is entitled to the deduction.
CIT vs. Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd (Gujarat High Court) – Assessee is fully justified in arranging its affairs in such a manner where his tax liability is reduced provided the assessee does not resort to any illegal means or enter into a sham transaction for the said purpose. It is the prerogative of the assessee to use its own fund in the manner in which it considers proper. The Revenue cannot dictate the assessee that how the assessee should use its own fund. Thus in our considered opinion the A.O.’s approach in the instant case was not justified. The nexus between the interest bearing fund and interest free investment as claimed by the A.O. was not correct when it is not in dispute that the own funds were utilized for making tax free investment.

The Supreme Court last week ruled that Industrial Finance Corporation of India is a ‘public financial institution’ under Section 4A of the Companies Act and it was entitled to invoke the Securitisation Act to enforce a “security interest”. Upholding the view of the Delhi high court in the appeal case, Bharat Steel Tubles Ltd vs IFCI, the apex court stated that the conversion of the IFCI into a company did not alter its position and status as a financial institution in view of Section 5 of the Industrial Finance Corporation (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act. All matters, including all benefits, relating to the corporation, stood wholly transferred in favour of the new company.
