The view of the Larger Bench that the assessee had to be directly engaged in developing, maintaining and operating the facility and that there had to be a complete development of the facility and not just a part of it is contrary to the law laid down in ABG Heavy Industries 322 ITR 323 (Bom). The High Court held that The assessee did not have to develop the entire project in order to qualify for a deduction under s. 80-IA. The Parliament did not legislate a condition impossible of compliance.

Loan paid by guarantor to lender on default by borrower is ‘capital receipt’ for borrower

April 11, 2013 5294 Views 0 comment Print

The sum paid was also not in the nature of compensation because there was no obligation on M/s Gillette Company USA, under any contract to compensate the assessee. Under these facts we do not find infirmity in the decision of the first appellate authority in treating the amount of Rs. 108.49 crores out of an aggregate addition of Rs. 118.49 crores made by the AO as capital receipt and hence not chargeable to tax. In this regard we also find support from the decisions relied upon by the Ld. AR in the cases of Smartalk (P) Ltd. (supra) and General Electrodes & Equipment Ltd. (Supra) wherein under almost identical circumstances addition made has been deleted.

Moreover, in the subsequent year i.e 2008-09 & 2009-10 the cup method as adopted by the assessee for benchmarking its international transactions has not been disputed by the revenue. Further, when the relevant data are now available, as stated by the ld Sr counsel, then it is appropriate to determine the ALP by adopting the same method as it was accepted in the subsequent year.

TP – Rate approved or deemed to be approved by RBI has to be considered as ALP

April 11, 2013 904 Views 0 comment Print

The fact of approval of the payment by the RBI has been succinctly recorded by the TPO in his order as well. He still chose to propose adjustment in respect of full payment. In our considered opinion, when the rate of royalty payment and fee for drawings etc. has been approved or deemed to have been approved by the RBI, then such payment has to be considered at ALP.

April 10, 2013 3921 Views 0 comment Print

We found that assessee’s case is squarely covered by the decision of Mumbai Bench in the case of B.D. Leasing and Finance Limited, (2013) 49(II) ITCL 148, wherein it was held that penalty u/s 271B for non-filing of tax audit report cannot be levied in view of the CBDT Circular No.9/2006 dated 10.10.2006, which provided that in case of electronic filing of return, tax audit report need not to be filed alongwith return.

Mere consent for transfer of tenancy rights from old to new tenant by landlord is not transfer

April 10, 2013 6800 Views 0 comment Print

Clause 4 of the agreement indicates that the Smt Shah surrendered the tenancy rights along with the property to the assessee. If that is true, where is the need for Smt Shah to be the signatory to the agreement in giving the property on monthly rent to the new tenants and why should there be a tripartite agreement? Letting off the impugned property becomes the matter for settlement between the landlord and the new tenant as per the terms and conditions of the land lord, which is not the case here.

S.115JB Provision for doubtful debt to be added to Book Profit for MAT Calculation

April 10, 2013 24985 Views 0 comment Print

In the books of account, assessee had made provision for doubtful debts for this amount. The matter is sub-judice before court or arbitration. This shows that the amount was not ascertained. It remained contingent at the relevant time. Moreover, it had been gone against assessee due to amendment in Act. The amendment made by inserting clause (i) in Explanation 1 to section 115JB by the Finance Act, 2009 with retrospective effect 1.4.2001, the amount set aside and provision for diminution in the value of an asset is to be added to arrive at the book profit under section 115JB of the Act. This empowers the Assessing Officer to add to income any amount debited in profit & loss account for provision of bad and doubtful debts.
