April 18, 2012 1483 Views 0 comment Print

It was improper for Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) to comment on the judgment of the Division Bench while disposing of the application expressing reservation about his powers to grant the interim order. Therefore, it has to be stated that the Appellate Authority has not proceeded to appreciate the points raised by the petitioners in support of his prayer for grant of interim order based on materials available before him, Instead, he has ventured into discussions which are irrelevant and impermissible having regard to the binding precedent in the form of a direction issued by the Division Bench.

Increase in tax liability would correspondingly reduce the amount refundable & also interest payable on such reduced refund

April 18, 2012 2706 Views 0 comment Print

he charging of interest is compensatory in nature. If a tax demand raised by the Assessing Officer is varied by an appellate or revisionary authority, it is the appellate and revisional order and not the assessment order, that would hold the field under the doctrine of merger and, hence, fresh notice of demand is to be issued accordingly. An increase in tax liability would correspondingly reduce the amount refundable and also the interest payable on such reduced refund. Provisions of section 244A(3) clearly cover such a situation. If the contention of the assessee is accepted, it would lead to irrational and absurd consequences, which would make the provisions of section 244A(3) inoperative and redundant. The Assessing Officer merely gave effect to these relevant and clear provisions of the Act.

Whether assessee could book its expenses on accrual basis & receipts on actual receipt basis

April 17, 2012 1342 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee has followed mercantile system of accountancy in regard to the expenditure incurred during that year and results were declared on actual receipt and this method is constantly followed by the assessee since last so many years, therefore, addition of the amount received in the next year in the month of April should not have been added in the previous year merely on the basis of bills issued and expenditure shown in the assessment year.
