Allocation of assets of the firm to the retiring partners is the basis for invocation of provisions of Section 45(4). In the case under consideration, neither there was any dissolution nor other event took place that had an effect of allocation of exclusive interest in any capital asset to the retiring partners. In these circumstances, FAA was justified in holding that conditions of Section 45(4) were not fulfilled. In our opinion the firm or the continuing partners were not liable to be taxed under the head ‘capital gains’,
Section 179(1) provides for a vicarious liability of the director of a public company for payment of tax dues which cannot be recovered from the company. However, such liability could be avoided if the director proves that the non recovery cannot be attributed to any gross negligence, misfeasance or breach of duty on his part in relation to the affairs of the company.

The only other issue is against the decision of the learned CIT(A) for treating sum of Rs. 1,37,49,302 being payment of living allowance by the Indian company to expatriates as fees for technical services in the hands of the appellant. The facts apropos this issue are that the experts of the assessee deputed for rendering services to HME and HCM received living allowances as per the agreement entered into between the assessee and HME and HCM. The Assessing Officer included this amount in fees for technical services and assessed it accordingly. No relief was allowed in the first appeal.
Provisions of Section 10A are beneficial provisions; the explanation given by the CBDT in Circular No.697 dated 23.11.1999 entitling the assessee to the benefits of S.10A; and also the legal position that the Act has not restricted the assessee from outsourcing of certain services necessary for producing an article or a thing, say, web maintenance in this case, assessee should be held as eligible for relief under S.10A of the Act.
