February 22, 2013 2680 Views 0 comment Print

In addition to the regular cricket matches, the assessee is conducting commercially oriented matches like Indian Premier League (IPL). Players of IPL teams are selected by sponsors to play under their brand names. Players are selected through auctions. Players choose that sponsor which offers the highest amount of money. IPL Matches are played with hype and celebration so as to create more and more revenue out of sale of telecast rights. All these activities when read together, one has to come to a finding that the entire activities of the Association is poised towards generating huge amount of income through the game of cricket.

Denial of exemption to educational institute for mere violation of its own bye laws not justified

February 21, 2013 660 Views 0 comment Print

A plain reading of the said provisions would reveal that what is required for the purpose of seeking approval thereunder is that the University or other educational institution should exist ‘solely for educational purposes and not for purposes of profit’. It is nowhere the case and/or finding of the learned CCIT that on account of the said defect in the admission procedure, the Trust ceased to exist solely for educational purposes and/or it existed for the purposes of profit.

Disallowance of expenses can not be made by Assessing Officer without verifying books of accounts

February 21, 2013 2140 Views 0 comment Print

We do not find any merit in such argument. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Ludhiana, recorded a finding that the Assessing Officer has reported that the voluminous nature of entries cannot be verified. Once the Assessing Officer himself has failed to verify the entries, there is no reason to disallow the distribution expenses. It is a rule of thumb which was applied by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Ludhiana to allow expenses to the tune of 40%, which has been found to be unjustified by the Tribunal.

Agricultural Land is not Capital Asset if not within notified area & no capital gain on transfer of such land

February 21, 2013 23082 Views 0 comment Print

The agricultural land situated in areas lying within a distance not exceeding 8 kms. from the local limits of Municipalities or Cantonment Boards are covered by the amended definition of ‘capital asset’, if such areas are, having regard to the extent of and scope for their urbanization and other relevant considerations, is notified by the Central Government in this behalf.

Bonus Provision under Payment of Bonus Act,1965 is ascertained liability for MAT calculations

Expenses allowed in earlier year cannot be disallowed in subsequent years if facts are same

February 20, 2013 5009 Views 0 comment Print

Admittedly, the facts of the year under consideration and assessment year 2004-05 are identical. In AY 2004-05, the Assessing Officer allowed depreciation on certain assets while in the year under consideration, he disallowed the depreciation on all the assets. In our opinion, when the facts are identical, the Assessing Officer is not justified in taking a view inconsistent with the view taken by the Department in AY 2004-05.
