On reading of Section 10 (15A) of the Act it is apparent to us that for this Section, an Indian company engaged in the business of operation of aircrafts should have acquired aircraft(s) on lease under an agreement. It is only when an Indian company acquires aircraft on lease under an agreement, which was entered into on or before the 1st day of April, 2007, benefit under the said Section is available. Thus, the twin conditions; that the agreement should have been entered into on or before 1st April, 2007 and there should be acquisition of aircraft under the lease before the said date, have to be satisfied.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) vide its Notification No. 9/2012 dated 17th February, 2012 has exempted salaried employees from the requirement of filing the returns for assessment year 2012-13. The exemption is applicable only if all the following conditions are fulfilled:- • Employee has earned only salary income and income from savings bank account and the annual interest earned from savings bank account is less than Rs. 10 thousand. • The total Income of the employee does not exceed Rs. 5 Lakh (Total Income means Gross Total Income Less deductions under Chapter VIA).
In the Tribunal decision rendered in the case of Srivatsan Surveyors (P.) Ltd. v. ITO [2009] 32 SOT 268 (Chennai) the issue was decided against the assessee on the basis that the depreciation on restrictive covenant is ‘a right in persona’ and not a ‘right in rem’ and, hence, depreciation on it is not allowable as per the provisions of section 32(1)(ii). In that case, Rs. 1 crore was paid to one of the directors on the basis of non-compete covenant entered into between the assessee-company and its director R. Srivatsan, as per which the said director agreed not to carry on his individual business of general insurance survey, loss assessment, valuation of assets, etc., for a period of seven years.
Q.1. If there is mismatch between the actual tax deducted and the amount shown in form 26AS, how to get it rectified and claim the balance? It is advised to claim the actual tax deducted in the return. Such mismatch will be handled in accordance with Instruction No. 4/2012, in the following manner: (a) Where difference between claim and amount reported in AS-26 does not exceed Rs. 5,000, the claim shall be accepted; (b) Where zero claim is matching, the credit shall be allowed only after due verification by department; (c) Where there is claim with invalid TAN, the TDS credit for such claim is not to be allowed; and d) In all other cases, the credit shall be allowed after due verification by the department.
In the assessee is entitled to receive interest on refund which is out of any tax. As a matter of fact, the refund arises only on tax portion. There is misconception in the interpretation of the Assessing Officer that interest can be paid only on the tax portion in the refund and not on the entire amount of refund. Moreover, section 244A doesn’t distinguish that the assessee shall be entitled to receive interest only on tax portion in the refund and not on the entire amount of refund as projected by the revenue.

The time taken for clearing of cheques and Government holidays and reasonable cause etc. are not the reasons, which could be considered while levying the interest against the assessee
In the present case, what is apparent is that the lessee (assessee) paid a substantial amount (Rs. 2.53 crores) in 1989 at the time of entering into the transaction. It was a precondition for securing possession; the amount was one-time consideration in terms of the lease condition. In addition, the lessee has to pay 2.5% of the said amount as annual rent, which is subject to increase periodically. No doubt, the assessee argues that the annual rent is depressed, and does not reflect the market rent.
In the instant case, the assessee is a resident assessee. It is not borne out of record as to whether the ‘UK company’ is a resident assessee or non-resident assessee. Though the assessee claims that it is acting only as an agent of the ‘UK company’, yet the said claim has not been verified and accepted by the Assessing Officer. Even, if the assessee is considered as an agent of the UK company, in view of section 5, the said UK Company is also liable to pay tax on its Indian income and if it claims that it is not liable to pay tax as per the DTAA entered by the Central Government with the Government of UK, then it is the
The owners have entered into an agreement for development of the property and certain rights were assigned to the developer who in turn had made the substantial payment and, consequently, entered into the property and, thereafter, if the transferee has taken steps in relation to construction of the flats, then it is to be considered as transfer under section 2(47)(v).
