Sapient Corporation Pvt Ltd vs. DCIT (ITAT Delhi) – When loss making companies have been taken out from the list of comparables by the TPO, Zenith Infotech Ltd. which showed super profits should also be excluded. The fact that assessee has himself included in the list of comparables, initially cannot act of estoppel particularly in light of the fact that the AO had only chosen the companies which are showing profits and had rejected the other companies which showed loss (Quark System vs. DCIT 38 SOT 307 (SB) followed).
ACIT vs. Clough Engineering Ltd (ITAT Delhi – Special Bench)- Under Article 11(4) of the DTAA, interest from indebtedness “effectively connected” with a PE of the recipient is taxable under Article 7 and not under Article 11. Though the interest was connected with the PE in the sense that it has arisen on account of TDS from the receipts of the PE, it was not “effectively connected” with the PE either on the basis of asset-test or activity-test. The payment of tax was the responsibility of the foreign company and the fact that it was discharged by way of TDS did not establish effective connection of the indebtedness with the PE. In order to be “effectively connected”, it is not necessary that the interest income has to be necessarily business income in nature. Even interest assessable under “other sources” can qualify.
The United Commercial Bank has moved the Delhi High Court challenging an Income Tax notice that slapped a penalty of over Rs 54 lakh on its branch for not making tax deduction at source on a fixed deposit account worth Rs 7.7 crore opened by the HC.

ITO vs. Hemandas J. Pariyani The issue is whether the amount received by the society and its member on account of transferable development rights is taxable under capital gains. The issue in dispute is covered by the decision of the ITAT in the case of Jethalal v DCIT wherein it was held that transferable development rights granted by the Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai, 1991, qualifying for equivalent floor space index having no cost of acquisition, sale thereof does not give rise to taxable capital gains. Since the facts of the case under consideration is identical to that of the decision of the ITAT in the said case, the CIT(A) was justified in directing the AO not to charge capital gains tax on the compensation received by the assessee even on a protective basis. Amount received by the society and its member on account of transferable development rights is not taxable under capital gains.
S. 194C defines work to include carriage of goods and passengers by any mode of transport other than railways while s. 194-I defines rent to mean payment for use of plan (which is defined in s. 43 to include vehicles). As the cars were owned and maintained by the contractor and all expenditure was borne by the contractor, the contract was for carriage of passengers for which the assessee paid a fixed amount. Therefore, the payment of vehicle hire charges fell within the scope of s. 194C and was not rent for s. 194-I.

The assessee was required to investigate the availability and viability of various modern technologies to ensure most economical cost estimate without affecting the quality of work.

It also included the study of environmental resettlement and rehabilitation needs as per the guidelines of the Government of India.
