Sections 194C(6) and Section 194C(7) are independent of each other, and cannot be read together to attract disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) read with Section 194C of the Act; and If the assessee complies with the provisions of Section 194C(6), no disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act is permissible, even there is violation of the provisions of Section 194C(7) of the Act.
Amendment in Explanation 5A to Sec 271(1)(c) even when made effective by Finance Act ,2009 with retrospective effect from 01.06.2007 cannot be made applicable to assessee’s case because both original return and the revised return u/s 153A of the Act have been filed before the amended provisions were brought into the statute (which received assent of President on 13.8.2009).
AO is also equally responsible to find out whether the credit entry found on 01.07.2010 is genuine or not. The AO cannot take advantage of the ignorance or handicap of the assessee and say that there was undisclosed receipt by the assessee.
ITAT Kolkata held that the consequence, which were to be fall on account of non-observation of section 40A(3) must have nexus to the failure of object of introducing of the provision. Therefore, no disallowance can be made if the transactions do not defeat the object of Sec 40A(3) in as much as there genuiness is not challenged and they can be tracked end to end.
From the working submitted by the Appellant, it is evident that the value of each share is worked out at Rs. 40,616/-.

Assessee carried on a systematic and regular activity in the nature of business and therefore the income from granting the premises on sub-license was to be assessed under the head income from business.
Merely because of the fact that assessee is a CEO of a multinational company mistake cannot be treated as false because in case of a person holding senior position such like mistake oftenly crept in as invariably person holding high position use to delegate the computation work to file the return of income to a Chartered Accountant
The ITAT Mumbai in the above cited case held that the surplus/savings arising on prepayment of deferred cannot be taxed u/s 28(iv) as by making prepayment of a future liabity at present value no monetary benefit arises to assessee as the savings it made by prepayment would get set off against the interest it loses by making prepayment.
If the officer is not empowered to administer oath, then by scoring off the sections in the heads of the stationery would not authorize officer to administer oath and take statement under section 131 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 during the survey. Therefore, this statement is only a piece of information, and does not carry any evidentiary value.
The treatment of extended credit period to Associated Enterprises(AEs) as an international transaction and making adjustment of notional interest on the same has always been bone of contention between the assessee and department.
