The learned D.R has vehemently contended before us that no assessee can be said to be providing telecommunication services unless such services are provided from one end to the other end. According to him, the assessee is operating as backbone industry and connect the calls received through other service providers and, therefore, does not provide any service to the actual user of the phone. In my opinion, this contention cannot be accepted for the reason that legislature itself has allowed the deduction to telecommunication services through satellite or turnking network.

The Government has come to the rescue of high net worth individuals on the borderline from an additional tax liability that goes beyond the income in excess of Rs 10 lakh. By way of a rule of thumb, the financial world condescends to grant the hallowed status of high net worth (HNW) individuals on those with assets of Rs 5 crore and more. The income-tax law on this touchstone ought to have imposed surcharge of 10 per cent on those having income of Rs 1 crore or more assuming 20 per cent return on wealth to be normal as a rule of thumb.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the companies have statutory obligation to deduct tax at sources (TDS) on interest payments for the loans taken in the name of its directors.
