February 5, 2013 10010 Views 0 comment Print

The assessees are availing loans from SNBFCL and passing over the loans to various Self Help Groups (SHGs) working under them. In fact, the loan amounts are not utilized by the assessee trusts. They are utilized by the SHGs working under the trusts. The ultimate payer of the interest is not the assessee trusts, but the SHGs.

On 8.3.2001, again an adjournment was sought by the petitioner on the ground that the staff was busy in the examination work so time be allowed for furnishing the information.

If company had admitted that it owed a sum to petitioner, winding up petition against it was to be admitted

February 5, 2013 612 Views 0 comment Print

It appears from the company’s admission of January 5, 2011 that it asserted that it owed the petitioner a sum of Rs. 26,08,858/- and it had a claim against the petitioner’s associate concern in the sum of Rs. 22,80,646.05. Even if the letter is taken on face value and the veracity of the assertions therein are not questioned, it appears that there is an unequivocal admission by the company of it being indebted to the petitioner in the sum of Rs. 3,28,211.95 if the two figures of Rs. 26,08,858/- and Rs. 22,80,646.05 are reconciled. It is the same sentiment which is reflected in the company’s affidavit, at paragraph 11 whereof the figures are repeated and the company has questioned the petitioner’s claim only to the extent of the same exceeding Rs. 26,08,858/-.

S. 69 ITAT to give clear finding as to whether the explanation offered by the assessee is satisfactory or not

February 5, 2013 612 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case, we find that the assessing officer was clearly wrong in holding against the assessee by concluding that the assessee had not offered any explanation. This fact has been realized both by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) as also by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. It is clear that the assessee had offered an explanation.

Prior to 01.04.2005 Production of Completion certificate was not compulsory to claim deduction u/s. 80-IB(10)

February 5, 2013 1715 Views 0 comment Print

The instant case relates to the assessment year 2004-05. The Explanation in clause (a) to sub-section (10) of section 80-IB was brought in under Finance No.(2) Act of 2004, effective from 1-4-2005. Thus in the absence of any such requirement under section 80-IB(10), as it stood during relevant assessment year 2004-05, it is difficult to accept the case of the revenue that the claim for deduction has to be rejected on the ground that the assessee had not furnished the completion certificates.

CBDT – Delay in filing of SLP in Supreme Court – fixing of responsibility

February 4, 2013 1829 Views 0 comment Print

I am directed to say that the delay in filing of SLP is a serious cause of concern. One of the reasons for delay in filing of SLP is inordinate delay in receiving the SLP proposals in the Directorate of Legal & Research. Even after conveying the concern of the Board in this regard, it is observed that about 50% proposals are received after 60 days of the date of impugned judgment of High Court as against 21 days prescribed in instruction No. 4 of 2011 laying down the SOP for filing SLP.
