Demat account is essential a commercial activity done on a day to day basis and it is not expected that a private trust would bring the Gods and Goddesses in the matter of share trading business. In our view, the Respondent No. 2 has rightly rejected the prayer of the Petitioner holding that such account cannot be operated in view of the circular of the SEBI which is annexed at page 23 annexure “C”.

Tribunal was not justified in coming to the conclusion that the amount to be reduced under clause (iv) of Explanation 1 to Section 115JB in respect of the profits eligible for deduction under Section 80HHC has to be computed with reference to the net profits in the profit and loss account and not according to the profits of the business computed under the head of profits and gains of business or profession

Activity of preparing bouquets from natural flowers does not bring into existence commercially a different product and hence is not `manufacture’ for purpose of section 2(17) of Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959

If the `flower bouquet’ is an arrangement of cut flowers, such arrangement of cut flowers by itself would not convert the said flowers into a different commercial commodity nor will it amount to and activity which would have an impact on the nature of the goods and will therefore not fall within the definition of the word “manufacture”

Section 80-IA(9) cannot be interpreted to mean that s. 80-IA deduction has to be reduced for computing deduction U/s. 80HHC – Bombay HC

January 12, 2011 1050 Views 0 comment Print

We hold that Section 80IA(9) does not affect the computability of deduction under various provisions under heading ‘C’ of Chapter VI­A, but it affects the allowability of deductions computed under various provisions under heading ‘C’ of Chapter VI­A, so that the aggregate deduction under Section 80IA and other provisions under heading ‘C’ of Chapter VI­A do not exceed 100% of the profits of the business of the assessee. Our above view is also supported by the C.B.D.T. Circular No.772 dated 23­12­1998, wherein it is stated that Section 80IA(9) has been introduced with a view to prevent the tax­payers from claiming repeated deductions in respect of the same amount of eligible income and that too in excess of the eligible profits.

There is no reason or justification for the Court on the basis of the plain language used in sub-section (4) of section 234B to exclude the cases, where no interest has been levied on the assessee in the original order of assessment, from the liability to pay interest.
