Bindview India P. Ltd. Vs. DCIT (ITAT Pune)- In light of Pune bench’s decision in the case of Starent Networks (I) P. Ltd. Pune v. DCIT, the assessee’s claim for +/- 5% in order to compute arm’s length price in terms of erstwhile proviso to section 92C(2) of the Act is accepted. Provisions of sub-Rule (4) of Rule 10B are quite explicit and provide for analysing the comparability of an uncontrolled transaction with the international transaction in question on the basis of the data relating to financial year in which the international transaction sought to be tested has been entered into.
India has received information on around 1,500 transactions from Denmark and Finland under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with these countries and the CBDT is looking into the data.
Pitney Bowes India Pvt Ltd vs. CIT (Delhi High Court) – Assessee itself treated the expenditure as capital in the books of accounts. However, at the same time, it was maintained that since it was paid for loss of business that KOAL would suffer for non-compete fee, the same was treated as revenue in nature. Likewise, in Schedule 2 to the balance sheet disclosing ‘fixed assets’, payment of non‑compete fee is treated as ‘intangible assets’. This also shows that the assessee treats this as asset acquired, which is intangible in nature. The issue regarding forwarding of payment was discussed by the Special Bench of the Tribunal in M/s Tecumesh India Pvt. Ltd. (supra) in greater details and after applying the ratio of various judgments of different High Courts including jurisdictional Court as well as the Supreme Court, the Tribunal summarized in the following terms:
A.F. Ferguson & Co. Vs. The Asstt. Commissioner of Income tax – The dispute is regarding allowability of deductions on account of payments made by the assessee to the retired partners and wives of deceased partners while computing the total income. The payments had been made under the provisions of partnership deed.
Expenditure can be disallowed only in the event of non-deduction of tax at source, and not in the cases involving short deduction, TDS not required to be deducted on exchange rate difference if TDS already been deducted at the time of credit of amount

The indexed cost of acquisition has to be determined with reference to the cost inflation index for the first year in which the capital asset was ‘held by the assessee’. Since the expression ‘held by the assessee’ is not defined under Section 48 of the Act, that expression has to be understood as defined under Section 2 of the Act. Explanation 1(i)(b) to Section 2(42A) of the Act provides that in determining the period for which an asset is held by an assessee under a gift, the period for which the said asset was held by the previous owner shall be included.
Subash Chand Vs. ACIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- In the present case, the AO has found that the assessee has paid a sum of Rs. 27,90,000/- towards purchase of flat/plot and for meeting household expenses in the year under appeal. The assessee could not have paid the aforesaid amount without having the money with him. No material has been placed before us to establish that the assessee had actually been paid by the buyer any money over and above Rs. 8.00 lakhs or that the assessee has actually received from the buyer of the agricultural land over and above Rs. 8 lakhs.
