Question number 64, the last in the list, reads: “In schedule of AIR of all ITRS relating to financial transactions whether the limit fixed is for aggregate or single in each category as shown in the following transactions:

Board circulars are binding on the Department, even if they are wrong or against decisions of the Supreme Court

October 10, 2007 7586 Views 0 comment Print

IT is now an axiomatic law that Board circulars are binding on the Department, even if they are wrong or against decisions of the Supreme Court. But our Boards do not have the habit of tracking down the multitude of circulars they issue and considering whether they are relevant after the Law has been amended and the Apex Court had already ruled on the issue. In the Dhiren Chemicals case (2002-TIOL-83- SC-CX), the Supreme Court had held that if there was a Board Circular which was not in tune with the views of the Supreme Court, the Board Circular would prevail. The whole idea is that the Department should not be seen arguing that the Board was wrong – even if it is wrong, the Departmental officers should be bound by it.
