By its very nature, the power to rectify a mistake would not result in the recall and review of the order sought to be rectified.

December 20, 2007 2430 Views 0 comment Print

Under section 254(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Tribunal has the power to rectify mistakes in its order. However, the power to rectify a mistake is not equivalent to a power to review or recall the order sought to be rectified. Rectification is a species of the larger concept of review. Although it is possible that the prerequisite for exercise of either power may be similar to rectifying a mistake apparent from the record, by its very nature, the power to rectify a mistake would not result in the recall and review of the order sought to be rectified. This was held by the Delhi High Court in C.I.T. v Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages P Ltd (293 I.T.R. 163).

Landlord takes refundable interest-free deposit from tenant – Income Tax wants to tax notional interest

December 20, 2007 1634 Views 0 comment Print

TAXING rent from house property has always been a taxing issue for the Income Tax Department. In the latest case the Revenue wanted to tax notional interest income on refundable interest-free deposit made by the tenant with the landlord u/s 28(iv) but the High Court has dismissed the same as the relevant Section 23(1)(a) does not contemplate taxing such income. The HC also observed that in a taxing statute it would be unsafe for the Court to go beyond the letter of the law and try to read into the provision more than what is already provided for.

However, the question of levy of FBT, in respect of ESOP schemes given by foreign / overseas companies to employees working in their Indian Subsidiaries, seems to have gone unanswered.
