Rectification of an order does not mean deletion of the order originally passed and its substitution by a new order

July 13, 2011 7377 Views 0 comment Print

Faridabad Investment Company Limited Vs CIT (Calcutta High Court)- Rectification of an order does not mean obliteration of the order originally passed and its substitution by a new order. In The present case, we are of the firm opinion that there was no scope of rectification in the case on the ground of error apparent on the face of the record as the Assessing Officer even in his rectified order could not find out the actual expenditure for obtaining the dividend and calculated the same on the notional basis which is not permissible.

Coastal Energy Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ACIT (ITAT Chennai)- Tribunal emphasised that the essence of a CUP method is a free comparison of the variables in uncontrolled conditions. However, citing practical manifestation, the Tribunal agreed that a comparison of controlled prices may be accepted. This may depend on the facts of the case. Further, the Tribunal stated that the facts in this case did not merit a special reason to rely on comparison based on controlled prices. Hence, the application of the CUP method based on comparison against uncontrolled prices was confirmed by the Tribunal.

Penalty on Disclosure of undisclosed income in revised return to buy peace

July 13, 2011 1742 Views 0 comment Print

Senthamarai Constructions v CIT (High Court of Madras) – Assessee filed the revised return in respect of the first two assessment years and filed the return for the first time for the last of the assessment year only after search in the Managing Partner’s residence, wherein undisclosed cash and investments were found. The conduct of the assessee, hence, assumes significance in coming forward to disclose the income of the firm, which are relatable to the investments made by the Managing Partner.

Assessee liable to deduct TDS under s 194C at 2 per cent on payment made for hiring the studio and utilising the dubbing facilities, which included service through the studio staff

July 13, 2011 14573 Views 0 comment Print

ACIT v Mansih Dutt (ITAT, Mumbai )- Assessee had utilized the services of dubbing studio Ninety Degrees by using their equipments as well as the artists who were working for Studio Ninety Degrees. The assessee had thus carried out the work of dubbing by engaging services and the same was of the nature of getting work done through a subcontractor. The findings of the CIT(A) in this regard are not in challenge before us. In such circumstances we are of the view that the provisions of section 194C were applicable and the assessee has rightly deducted tax at source at 2 per cent treating the payment as a payment to sub-contractor for carrying out a work.

Carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation as per section 32(2) is automatic

July 13, 2011 7067 Views 0 comment Print

ACIT v Mehsana District Co-op Milk Producers Union Ltd(Ahemdabad ITAT)- Once the depreciation allowable under s 32(1) cannot be allowed or partly allowed, the unabsorbed portion of such depreciation automatically becomes the depreciation of the subsequent year, subject to the provisions of s 72(2) and 73(3. The carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation, as per s 32(2), is automatic and the assessee is not required to fulfil any condition so as to be entitled to obtain such carry forward.

Amount of brought business loss and unabsorbed depreciation is not required to be first set-off before computing the deduction allowable under s 80HHC for the purpose of computing book profits, matter remitted to make calculation under s 80HHC

July 13, 2011 2034 Views 0 comment Print

Bisazza India (P) Ltd. v CIT (ITAT Ahmedabad) – We feel the restriction contained in section 80AB or section 80B(5) could not be applied in as much as carry forward of business loss or depreciation should not be first set-off leaving gross total income nil, which disentitles the assessee for deduction under other provisions of Chapter VIA-C which includes section 80HHC also. But assessees’ contention that export profit has to be computed with reference to the profit and loss account prepared under the Companies Act is equally unacceptable because there is no such provision in section 80HHC to determine export profit with reference to Profit and loss account maintained under the Companies Act.

Provisions of section 79 not applicable to deemed public company

July 13, 2011 8029 Views 0 comment Print

Meredith Traders (P) Ltd. v ITO (ITAT Mumbai)- Provisions of s 79 are not applicable to company originally registered as a private company and then became a public company by virtue of the provisions of s 3(iv)(c) of the Companies Act in which public are substantially interested within the meaning of s 2(18) of the Income tax Act, 1961

If the prosecution proves its case on basis of evidence and the same is also supported by the implied admission of the accused, the conviction of the accused under s 276C(1), 277 and 278 is not liable to be interfered with on the ground that the return did not bear his signature and was not filed by him

July 13, 2011 798 Views 0 comment Print

ITO v Mangat Ram Norata Ram Narwana and Anr. (Supreme Court of India) – There is no statutory requirement that signature on the return has to be made in presence of the Income-tax authority. Nothing has been brought in evidence by the accused Hem Raj that signature did not belong to him on the return and the penalty was paid mistakenly. We are of the opinion that the appellate court misdirected itself in not considering the evidence in right perspective and acquitting the accused, so also the High Court which failed to correct the apparent error. This render their judgments unsustainable. Any other view may induce the appellant to compel the assessee to file return in the presence of the authority so that the signature is proved by direct evidence by such authority in trial. This will lead to a difficult situation not contemplated under the Act.
