Padam Prakash (HUF) vs. ITO (ITAT Delhi Special Bench). If the application filed by the assessee is viewed in the light of aforementioned judicial pronouncements, then it will become clear that the relief which is being sought by the assessee by way of impugned rectification application is not legally tenable for the reason that the Tribunal has no power to adjudicate upon subsequent application filed u/s 254(2). Here, it may be the case of the assessee that earlier order against which impugned rectification application is filed is also an order passed on subsequent application, then the only course permissible to the assessee is to file an appeal against that order and not to approach the Tribunal to contend that the said order was an invalid order, therefore it should be recalled.
Describing the committed taxpayers as engines of economy, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today exhorted the young IRS probationers to treat them as their clients and not as adversaries. The assessee is no longer considered an adversary, committed taxpayers are the engines of our economy and therefore important clients of Revenue Department, Mukherjee said, while addressing the Indian Revenue Services (IRS) probationers at Parliament House complex here.

Under the existing provisions contained in section 115R(2) of the Income-tax Act, a Mutual Fund is liable to pay additional income-tax on the amount of income distributed to its unit holders. It is proposed to levy additional income-tax at a higher rate of 30 per cent. on income distributed by debt funds to a person other than an individual or HUF.
Senior Citizens should be a happy lot after the Budget. After meeting their long-standing demand of making 60 as the defining age of senior citizens, the finance minister has also introduced a special category — ‘very-senior’ — for citizens over the age of 80, perhaps in tune with the rising life expectancy. The basic exemption limit for this new category will be Rs 5 lakh (Rs 500,000), double than that for senior citizens.
The following are the major Highlights of the Union Budget 2011-12 presented by the Hon’ble Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee in the Parliament on Monday (i.e. Feb. 28th 2011). Direct Tax Code (DTC) is proposed to be introduced from April 1st 2012. As a consequence, no DTC provisions have been incorporated in the Budget proposals. The proposals/initiatives that require urgent attention and made in the Finance Bill- 2011 are as follows:
Under the existing provisions of section 35AD of the Income-tax Act, investment-linked tax incentive is provided by way of allowing hundred per cent. deduction in respect of any expenditure of capital nature (other than on land, goodwill and financial instrument) incurred wholly and exclusively, for the purposes of the “specified business”. Currently, the following specified businesses are eligible for availing investment-linked deduction under section 35AD(8)(c):-
Under the existing provisions of section 131(1) of the Income-tax Act, certain income-tax authorities have been conferred the same powers as are available to a Civil Court while trying a suit in respect of discovery and inspection, enforcing the attendance of any person, including any officer of a banking company and examining him on oath, compelling production of books of account and other documents and issuing commissions.
Under the existing provisions of the Income-tax Act, dividend received from foreign companies is taxable in the hands of the resident shareholder at his applicable marginal rate of tax. Therefore, in case of Indian companies which receive foreign dividend, such dividend is taxable at the rate of thirty per cent. plus applicable surcharge and cess.
In order to discourage transactions by a resident assessee with persons located in any country or jurisdiction which does not effectively exchange information with India, anti-avoidance measures have been proposed in the Income-tax Act.
