MAT U/s. 115JB is payable even if Assessee is entitled to deduction U/s. 80-IB

January 29, 2013 15114 Views 0 comment Print

Section 115JB, in fact, in no way either denies the benefit given under Section 80-IB or reduces the same. While the appellant-assessee can claim the benefit under Section 80-IB of the Act and it is not denied per se to the appellant-assessee, in the given case, the provisions of Section 115JB may be attracted or may not be attracted depending upon the nature or legal composition of the assessee.

If Assessee without challenging S. 14A computed disallowance, it cannot object to addition U/s. 14A

January 29, 2013 2404 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee had declared exempt income and on asking of the Assessing Officer, it had itself computed the disallowance amount of Rs. 4,83,414/- under Rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules and exactly the same very amount has been disallowed. In our opinion, once the assessee itself computed the disallowance, instead of challenging the very applicability of the provisions, we do not find any force in the cross objections preferred by the assessee. Consequently, we do not find any merit either in the appeal filed by the Revenue or Cross Objections at the behest of the assessee.

Taxability of a revocable transfer as deemed gift u/s 4(1)(c) of the Gift-tax Act

January 29, 2013 1729 Views 0 comment Print

It is possible, on an interpretation of Section 4(1)(c) of the Act to answer this question either way, but unfortunately the High Court did not even notice this provision of the Act. Of course, the submission of learned counsel for the assessee is that on an interpretation of Section 4(1)(c) of the Act, it cannot be said by any stretch of imagination, that the assessee had made a gift of 14,000 bonus shares to the transferee in the previous year relevant to the Assessment Year 1989-90.
