A.O. cannot ask Assessee to prove source of source if he do not have any material to prove non-genuineness

May 7, 2012 11416 Views 0 comment Print

The fact that the Assessing Officer had accepted part of the loans indicates that the Assessing Officer not only accepted the identity and genuineness of the creditors but also the creditworthiness of the creditors. However, he chose to disallow a part of the loan without bringing on record any material to show that the assessee had any other source of income which could have been routed in the form of loan given by a third party. The fact that the assessment was completed in hurry is apparent, because the investigation commenced on 18-12-2007 and the assessment came to be made on 31-12-2007. The creditors have explained the sources of their deposits which in effect means that the sources were explained by the creditors. The Assessing Officer has not pointed out how the explanation is not convincing and merely proceeded to invoke provisions of section 68, that too for a part of the loan. Since the assessment was made in hurry, it is not specifically mentioned as to whether the interest on the loan was allowed or not but the fact remains that the relevant material placed before the Bench indicates that the assessee claimed interest payable on the loans and there was no specific disallowance in the assessment order, which implies that the interest was allowed by the Assessing Officer. Thus, considering the overall circumstances of the case, the Accountant Member was justified in holding that the initial onus placed upon the assessee stood discharged in the instant case and in the absence of any material to prove that the sources explained by the creditors are not genuine, the Assessing Officer was not justified in calling upon the assessee to prove the source of source.

Provision for ascertainable liability deductible in book profit calculation

May 4, 2012 2288 Views 0 comment Print

important thing to appreciate here is that the provision created is on account of ascertained liability and the same should logically be excluded out of the calculation of book profits Clause (c) of Explanation (1) of Section 115JB. If the argument of the AO is accepted then every creation of provision will lead to dilution/reduction in the value of assets as a general class and therefore would not be deductible from book profit.

Statutory violation do not change nature of agricultural income

May 4, 2012 672 Views 0 comment Print

With regard to the assessee’s claim for exemption under section 10(1) of the Act in respect of agricultural income, the only aspect that clinches the nature of the agricultural income is whether agricultural operations were carried out or not. Once it was established that such agricultural activities were carried out by the assessee, assessee was entitled for exemption in respect of such agricultural income under section 10(1) of the Act, irrespective of any violation of the statutory provisions as alleged by the Assessing Officer in the instant case. Such infraction of the statutory provisions may expose the assessee to the risks of being penalized or punished under the relevant statutes, but the same do not change nature of the agricultural income, and as such, cannot be fatal to the assessee’s claim for exemption under section 10(1) of the Act.

Registration of institution u/s 12AA cannot be cancelled if its receipts from trade, commerce, etc., exceeds Rs.10Lakhs/Rs.25 Lakhs limit u/s 2(15)

If in any year, the gross receipts of the Institution exceeds Rs. 10 lakhs or Rs. 25 lakhs, as the case may be, then in that year, the Assessing Officer is empowered to examine the allowability of exemption u/s 11 but the same has no effect on granting the registration u/s 12AA of the Act.

S.54 exemption not available on House not having basis amenities

May 4, 2012 4639 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, in order to examine the entitlement of the assessee for exemption under section 54, it is to be seen whether the assessee had constructed residential house within three years of the transfer of his property. For doing so, the meaning of the term ‘house’ is to be explored. The term ‘house’ has not been given any statutory definition and, thus, has to be assigned meaning as understood in common parlance. As per dictionary, it means abode, a dwelling place or building for human habitation. A building, in order to be habitable by a human being, is ordinarily required to have minimum facilities of washroom, kitchen, electricity, sewerage, etc.
