We find that there is no dispute about the fact that the assessee was a ‘resident but not ordinarily resident’ for the relevant assessment year. The mere fact that she relocated to India on 29th May 2005 does not alter her residential status, so far Income Tax Act is concerned, with effect from that date. Quite fairly, learned Commissioner has also not specifically disputed this position even as he has laid lot of emphasis on the fact that she returned to India on 29th May 2005 and the fact that sale was concluded after that date i.e. 31st May 2005, but then nothing really turns on these facts because whether sales took place after assessee’s relocating to India or not, her residential status continues to be of the ‘resident but not ordinarily resident’ throughout the relevant previous year.
We have carefully considered the submissions of the rival parties and perused the material available on record. We find that the facts are not in dispute inasmuch as it is also not in dispute that the assessee while filing the return of income in response to the notice u/s 153A declared an additional income of Rs. 25 lakhs and, in alternative, claimed that the disallowance, if any, u/s 10A may be restricted to Rs. 40,24,656/- only instead of Rs. 64,24,656/-. The ld. CIT(A) after examining the issue held that the assessee is entitled to telescoping of Rs. 25 lakhs disclosed as additional income from the income determined by the A.O.
A lot of emphasis has been placed by the CIT(A) on this Tribunal’s decision in the case of TIL Ltd (supra). However, as we have decided the matter on merits and on the first principles, we see no need to deal with the said judicial precedent. Our reasoning could be different than the reasoning adopted by the CIT(A) and that adopted by the coordinate bench in TIL’s case (supra), but then our conclusion is the same as arrived by the CIT(A) and by the coordinate bench. It is this aspect of the matter which is material for the present purposes.
Inland Ports were specifically mentioned as an infrastructure facility in the statutory provision and in the understanding of the CBEC, which administers the Customs Act, an Inland Container Depot was actually an Inland Port. There is also no dispute that even in 1983 amendments had been made to the Customs Act by treating the Inland Container Depots as part of the customs port for purpose of customs formalities and clearances.
Only grievance of the Revenue is that the amendment brought in the Income Tax Act u/s. 40(a(ia) was only effective from 1.4.2010 and not retrospective in nature. However, we find that in a catena of case laws as mentioned, it has been held that the amendment in section 40(a)(ia) is remedial and curative in nature and has retrospective effect. In this case, admittedly, the TDS deducted was deposited before the date of the filing of the return and under such situation, there cannot be any disallowance u/s. 40(a)(ia). Thus we find that Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has taken a correct view in the matter, which does not need any interference on our part. Accordingly, we uphold the same.

(1) Whether, based on the facts and circumstances of the case, receipts by the Applicant as per the Contract for the overhauling services would be taxable as Fees for Technical Services in India under the Act? – (2) Whether the consideration receivable under the Contract would fall within the definition of Fees for included services under Article 12 of the Indo-US DTAA? Would the services make available any technical knowledge, experience, skill, know-how, or processes, or consist of the development and transfer of a technical plan or technical design in terms of Indo-US DTAA?
Once under the special provision of section 44AD of the IT Act exemption from maintenance of books of accounts have been provided and the presumptive tax at 8% of the gross receipts itself is the basis for determining the taxable income, the assessee was not under obligation to explain individual entry of cash deposits in the bank unless such entries had no nexus with the gross receipts. In the present case though from the details filed by assessee the ld. AO observed that no TDS has been recovered, in our opinion, since assessee has disclosed the profits more than 8% of the gross receipts and there is no dispute in receipt of the gross receipts the addition made by ld. CIT(A) u/s 40(a)(ia) of the IT Act is not sustainable. Therefore we confirm the action of ld. CIT(A) and dismiss the appeal of the revenue.
When the assessee reimburses interest payments to parent company for availing loans under its borrowing facility given by the bank, No TDS obligation arises u/s 194A.
