In a case where these receipts and payments pertains to the fixed structure of the company’s business that was being set up, it would be inconsistent to hold that the expenditure incurred by the assessee prior to the setting up would be of a capital nature but the receipts would be of a revenue nature.Hence, the impugned receipts were of a capital nature and were not liable to tax.
