If your refunds, rectifications, other matters like not getting orders to give effect to the Appellate orders, etc. are pending since long, reminders not bringing any results, you may make application under the RTI Act to the Commissioner of Income-tax (CIT), under whose jurisdiction you are assessed to tax. The CIT has to dispose your application within thirty days of the receipt of the request (S. 7 of the RTI Act). In other words, normally you will get your work done within these 30 days; i.e., Assessing Officer will send the required orders like intimations, orders u/s. 154, etc. with refunds, etc. and the CIT then will reply to your application within 30 days, stating that your application has been attended and you must have received the refund orders, etc. At times, there may be delay in getting some refunds as in my case, but you will get them ultimately.

For Section 80-IB ‘workers’ need not be ’employees’ – Bombay HC

November 18, 2011 2339 Views 0 comment Print

CIT vs. Jyoti Plastic Works Pvt Ltd (Bombay High Court) – under Section 80IB(2)(iv) what is relevant is the employment of ten or more workers and not the mode and the manner in which the said workers are employed by the assessee. In other words, irrespective of the terms of employment, condition of Section 80IB(2)(iv) would stand fulfilled if the assessee in aggregate employs ten or more workers in its manufacturing activity. The fact that the employer – employee relationship between the workers employed by the assessee differs cannot be a ground to deny deduction under Section 80IB of the Act, so long as the workers employed by the assessee in aggregate exceed ten in number.
