We find that society is running the school under the management of receiver appointed by Hon’ble High Court. For the entire years the income of the school was exempt and for the assessment year 2007-08, the assessee had obtained prior approval of CCIT, Panchkulla for exemption u/s 10(23)(vi).
On the other hand, the ld. D.R. while agreeing that the interest on fixed deposits pledged with the bank on account of margin money is eligible for deduction u/s 10A of the Act submits that in view of the finding recorded by the A.O. the assessee is not entitled to deduction u/s 10A of the Act in respect of interest on NSC and interest on loan given to its employees. He, therefore, submits that to this extent the order passed by the A.O. be upheld.
Admittedly, as per TDS certificate issued by Mysore Breweries Limited, the total reimbursement made to the assessee as per their newly arrangement was Rs. 3,35,85,000/-. However, in the books of assessee, it was only Rs. 2,54,97,000/-. The assessee had explained that a credit note of Rs. 80,88,000/- issued by it in favour of Mysore Breweries Limited was not accounted for by them
Rigours of the conditions enumerated in clauses (a) and (b) of section 80-IB, has been relaxed by the legislature to achieve certain socio-economic object and, therefore, proviso to section 80-IB should be given a liberal interpretation so as to not to defeat a genuine claim for deduction by a developer who undertakes to develop a housing project in a slum area under the scheme approved by the Central or State Govt.
Assessee secured a licence from the RBI under section 45-I of the RBI Act, to carry on the business of non-banking finance, including micro-finance services. There exists Prudential Norms, issued by the RBI. The assessee, being a licensed NBFC, it had to follow the directives of the RBI. It was in accordance therewith, as also in accordance with the Accounting standards issued by the ICAI, that the assessee derecognized the interest on NPAs.
It was incumbent on the AO to supply the information to the assessee, obtain its objections, if any, and pass order after taking into account the information and the objections of the assessee. This has not been done in respect of 20 comparables.
TPO has not assigned any valid reason for rejecting the method adopted by the assessee for the determination of ALP with its transaction with ODSI. Where an assessee has followed one of standard methods of determining ALP, such a method cannot be discarded in preference over transactional profit methods,
The Ld. Counsel for the assessee Shri Siddharth Salarpuria, first of all took us to the accounts of the company from where he stated that the share capital of the company as on 31.03.2007 was at Rs. 5,56,43,400/- and reserve and surplus at Rs. 21,61,28,161/- and this year’s profit i.e. net profit as per P&L Account before making provisions for taxation is Rs. 3,50,51,698/- and if we reduce prior period adjustment of Rs. 5,10,339/-,
The allowance of any expenditure arising from an international transaction shall also be determined having regard to the ALP. However, in the instant case the assessee has not claimed the expenditure of Rs. 7,42,20,575/- during the impugned assessment year and has itself disallowed the same while computing its taxable income. Therefore, we agree with the submission of the learned counsel for the assessee that the provisions of section 92 are not applicable.
In this case penalty proceedings have been initiated by ld. CIT(A) pursuant to enhancement of income made by him vide his order dated 17.07.2012. The appeal against this order has been filed before the Tribunal on 4th October, 2012 which is in fact the first appeal of the assessee against the enhancement of income by ld. CIT(A). As the appellate proceedings are already on, we are not going into the merits of the case.
