S.14A not applicable to income exempt u/s. 50 of SIDBI Act, 1989

December 11, 2012 2171 Views 0 comment Print

Section 14A would have no application to the present facts. It is not the revenue’s case that bad debts have been incurred in relation to income which does not form part of the total income. Section 50 of SIDBI Act, 1989 only exempts payment of income tax. It does not provide that such income of the SIDBI Bank will not be a part of the total income. This would happen in cases of income specified in sections 10 and 10A. Even otherwise this issue was not raised before the authorities and cannot be now urged in an appeal under section 260A.

In the background of above legal position, we have to ascertain from the facts on record whether it is possible to ascertain the cost of acquisition of the tenancy rights.
