48. Section 17(2)(ii) as it stood prior to amendment in 2007 did not contain any ‘deeming clause’ to deem rent paid less than 10% or 7.5% as a concession or that the employees is deemed to have received that concession. An employer may provide residential accommodation to his employees for several reasons. It is also possible that for making available staff quarters/colonies/ accommodations, State Governments
9. The first item of receipt is that of Rs.5.010 crores towards assignment of marketing rights for local as well as export business. The Assessing Officer held it to be a revenue receipt liable to tax. At this juncture, it will be relevant to consider the distinction between the revenue and capital receipt in the context of the nature of transaction we are concerned with. Albeit there is no conclusive test for drawing
13. We have heard both the parties and perused the orders of the revenue authorities as well as above cited judgment of the jurisdictional High Court in the case of Otis Elevator Co (India) Ltd (supra). The case of the assessee is that the said subscription of Rs 3 lakhs is wholly and exclusively for the business purpose. On the other hand, the case of the revenue is that the unlike in company
6. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record. Section 194C provides that “any person responsible for paying any sum to any resident (hereinafter in this section referred to as the contractor) for carrying out any work (including supply of labour for carrying out any work) in pursuance of a contract between the contractor and …….(d) any company ……….. shall,

5. From the facts of this case, it transpires that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has not laid down any universally applicable principle that income from immovable property, be invariably taxed under the head ‘Income from House Property’. It was on the consideration of the cumulative effect of all the factors prevailing in case, which have been noted above, that the income from immovable property was held to be taxable under this head
8. We have heard the arguments of both the sides and also perused the relevant material on record. It is observed that there is no dispute about the fact that the payments in question were made by the assessee company in cash in excess of Rs.20,000/- towards service charges to the crew. The dispute, however, is that whether the said payments were covered by the exceptions prescribed in Rule 6DD(j)
7. We have carefully considered the relevant facts, arguments advanced and the case laws cited. It is not in dispute that the assessments sought to be reopened were earlier completed only by accepting the same under section 143(l)(a) of the Act. When assessments are completed under section 143(l)(a) it cannot be said that the Assessing Officer has expressed any opinion on the correctness or otherwise
9. I have gone through the records carefully and I am unable to find any reason for making addition in the hands of the assessee. The addition is based upon the search proceedings and seizure that took place in the case of Narendra Kumar Paraswani not in the hands of the firm. Even the statement that were recorded have not implicated the assessee in any manner
