IBM India P. Ltd. v. DCIT (ITAT Bangalore)- Considering the second objection of the AO, namely, that separate books of account have not been maintained for the STP Units, his observation was that the objection of the AO arose on the premise that part of the expenditure which could be related to the exempted income which is not allowable to the assessee by virtue of the provisions contained in section 14A of the Act which could be disguised and allowed to be set off against taxable income and, thus, the assessee would be benefited by paying reduced tax which could have been avoided.

Emami Ltd. Vs CIT (High Court of Calcutta)- Where on the last date of the Financial Year preceding the relevant Assessment Year, the assessee had no liability to pay advance tax, he would be nevertheless asked to pay interest in terms of Section 234B and Section 234C of the Act for default in making payment of tax in advance which was physically impossible.

Yum Restaurants India Pvt. Ltd. v. ACIT (ITAT Delhi) -Since the taxpayer had applied filters in its TP report to reject persistent loss makers, the Tribunal questioned the basis of the taxpayer’s contention that other loss making comparables should not be rejected.

ITA No.174 of 2011 has been preferred by the assessee under section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 against the order of ITAT Delhi “C” Bench in ITA No. 2656/Delhi/2008 dated 10.7.2009 for the assessment year 2002-03 raising following substantial questions of law
