In this case Special Bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal dealt with the issue of allowability of losses on account of unmatured forward contracts in foreign exchange entered into by the taxpayer. The Special Bench while dismissing the contentions of the tax department held that the loss on unmatured forward contracts is in the nature of anticipated losses and not a contingent loss. The Special Bench observed that a binding obligation (although not fully ascertainable) arose against the taxpayer the moment it entered into forward foreign exchange contract. The Special Bench has relied on the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of CIT v. Woodward Governor of India [2009] 312 ITR 254 (SC) wherein the Supreme Court had held that exchange fluctuation loss arising on mark- to-market restatement of liability which is revenue in nature is an allowable loss. The Special Bench further observed that where profits were being taxed by the tax department in respect of such unmatured foreign exchange contracts then there was no reason to disallow the loss on such contracts.

The Tribunal held that the documents placed on record needed examination regarding their authenticity and relevance, accordingly restored the case back to the Assessing Officer (AO) to decide the same afresh.
