5. We have considered the rival submissions and the material on record. In our considered view, the gifts so received by the assessee or his grandsons could not be said to be genuine.

THE use and spread of software application has been phenomenal in India. So is the case with the tax treatment of receipts resulting from either sale of software or licensing of software programmes.

12.2 One can see very clearly that the clause (ii), introduced in section 32(1), w.e.f.01-04- 1999, not only extended the benefit of section 32 to the `intangible assets’ but also gave therein an `inclusive’ definition of the `intangible assets’, for this purpose. 15.4 It becomes clear from the above discussion that capability to have a market value, assignability

25. On the basis of above material, it is not possible to hold that assessee was carrying on mere repair of transformers and not any manufacturing activity. Assessee’s claim that it is manufacturing electromechanical parts and accessories like winding coils, insulation material etc. etc. from different material is clearly established on record. No dispute had been raised that above items manufactured by the assessee

The intention behind enacting provisions of section 2(22)(e) are that closely held companies (i.e. companies in which public are not substantially interested), which are controlled by a group of members, even though the company has accumulated profits would not distribute such profit as dividend because if so distributed the dividend income would became taxable in the hands of the shareholders.

However, the mere fact that the agreement was not an agency agreement is not a decisive factor as to the taxability of the amount received on termination of the agreement. Even if the agreement was not an agency agreement and it was a simple contract, the amount received on termination of the Contract can still be taxed as a revenue receipt. Merely because it does not come

This contention, in our opinion, has to be rejected outright. It is pertinent to note that Section 44DA was inserted in the Statute book by the Finance Act, 2003 w.e.f. lsl April, 2004.
