In the present case, the AO had levied penalty under s. 271(1)(c) of the Act, for furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. It is not under dispute that the assessee had claimed wrong depreciation on account of additions made in the machinery and factory building accounts, which has been surrendered by the assessee to buy peace of mind. The explanation had been submitted during the assessment proceedings as well as in the penalty proceedings.
Assessing Officer has made all additions, disallowances, treating the cash credits/foreign receipts as well as the assessee’s declared agricultural income merely on estimate and guess work basis without bringing on record any positive and concrete evidence to be applied against the assessee. We also find that the Assessing Officer has not quoted any comparable case in this line of business, which has shown better gross profit than that shown by the assessee in the present assessment year.
As regards the payments of Rs.20,000/- or more, the assessee has not substantiated his claim that the payments of Rs.20,000/- or more with regard to the purchases were made for Rs.20,000/- or less before the AO. It is also not on record whether such claim was actually made before the AO or not. With regard to the claim before the ld. CIT(A), all the vouchers are self made vouchers and without any authenticity of the name and complete address of the recipient. From the claim of the assessee before the ld. CIT(A), the payments are claimed to have been made on different hours on the same day and accordingly on different dates.
In the instant case, the assessee-trust is carrying on various activities in the nature of trade, commerce or business and rendering its services for the purpose of trade, commerce and business, because it is charging huge fees on account of various facts. No doubt, the assessee has given some explanation for charging fees by stating that it is charging fees as per rules framed by the Punjab Local Bodies Govt., which is clearly the admission by it that it is doing activities not for charitable purpose but for business purpose only.
The present society is doing its business and charging huge fees from the public which was in addition to the prescribed fee of the Punjab Government. Even otherwise, the fees charged by the present society is in addition to the burden forced upon the common-man. Because of this service has to be rendered by the Punjab Government free of cost to the public against the fee prescribed in the chart as reproduced in the foregoing paragraphs.
Bagasse is quite often and commonly used as a fuel, usually in the sugar mill themselves. The sugarcane fibrous waste is initially moist after crushing, but most mills use them as fuel after drying. Hence, even though bagasse is in the nature of scrap and waste because of its nature, since it can be used directly as a fuel, I hold that it should not be considered as ‘scrap’ for the purpose of section 206C of the Act.
Incentives provided to the industrial units, in terms of the new industrial policy, for accelerated industrial development in the State, for creation of such industrial atmosphere and environment, which would provide additional permanent source of employment to the unemployed in he State of Jammu and Kashmir,
It is for the AO when he considers it necessary or expedient so to do, he may refer the computation of arm’s length price in relation to the said international transaction under section92C to the Transfer Pricing Officer. It was argued by Ld. DCIT (DR) Mr. Tarsem Lal that the Ld. counsel for the assessee, Mr. Surinder Mahajan, could not point out any specific mention in the statute.
The words mentioned in section 54F are that the amount should be invested in the construction of a residential house. Therefore, once the assessee having been invested total sale consideration into construction of a residential house, then it is not necessary that the residential house should have been completed within three years of the transfer of the original asset.
On the perusal of trust deed, it would be clear that trust was created wholly for a particular purpose and religious community i.e. Hindu and not for charitable purposes and thus, it contravenes the conditions laid down in section 80G(5) (iii) read with Explanation 3.
