A perusal of the order of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) clearly shows that the assessee had written off bad debt in the books. Further, it is noticed that the Learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) had followed the decision of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Director of Income-tax (International Taxation) Vs. Oman International Bank (refer to supra) on this issue. The finding of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) that the bad debt written off in the books has not been disputed by the revenue. In the circumstances, the finding of the learned Commissioner of Incometax (Appeals) on this issue is on right footing and does not call for any interference.
Notification No. 29/2012-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 (8th Amendment) Rules, 2012.
In order to assess individuals to be forming association of persons, the individual co-owners should have joined their resources and thereafter acquired property in the name of association of persons and the property should have been commonly managed, only then it could be assessed in the hands of associations of persons. Conversely, the mere accruing of income jointly to more persons than one would not constitute thereon an association of persons in respect of such income.
Decision of the Mumbai Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Homi K. Bhabha Vs. ITO was brought to our notice by the learned DR wherein it was held that Portfolio Management Scheme fees is not deductible against capital gains. The decision of the Pune Bench of the Tribunal in the case of KRA Holding & Trading was not followed by the Mumbai Bench in the above cited decision.
It is very clear that the assessee consciously split up the payments in whole of the year, which is impracticable, illogical as noted above and it was done just to circumvent the provisions of law. There was no justification for the assessee to split up the transactions of crores of rupees in small payments of Rs. 15,000/- to Rs. 20,000/- everyday. Whatever plea was taken before the authorities below was not supported by any evidence.
In order to make the Income Tax Return filing experience even more convenient, the Income Tax Department has started two more taxpayer friendly initiatives ‘Register for Home Visit’ and ‘Online Tax Help’.

The taxpayer can choose between ‘online help’ or ‘home visit’.
Taxpayers, who hold foreign bank accounts or properties, will now have to furnish details of their foreign assets which include information like country name, address of the bank, name mentioned in the account and peak balance during the year etc.
Ld. CIT(A) on pages 51-52 of his order that the assessee could not provide even the names and addresses of those parties to whom cash sales were claimed to have been made. This is the main basis on which Ld. CIT(A) has confirmed the decision of the A.O. In our considered opinion, it cannot be said that in the case of cash sales, the assessee is bound to keep record of the names and addresses of the buyers. The judgement of Hon’ble Bombay High Court cited by the Ld. A.R. rendered in the case of R B Gurnam Fatehchand vs ACIT as reported in 75 ITR 33 also supports the case of the assessee. In that case also, the assessee was not in a position to give the addresses of the customers to whom cash sales were made. Under these facts, it was held by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court that this cannot be the basis to reject the book results.
