Dnyanoba Shajirao Jadhav Vs ITO (ITAT Pune)

Interest awarded u/s. 23(1A) and 23(2) r.w.s. 28 of the L.A. Act is in the nature of solitium and an integral part of compensation. It is an admitted position that the receipt of compensation awarded under L.A. Act is a capital receipt. Whereas, interest awarded u/s. 34 of the L.A. Act is on account of delayed payment of compensation and is revenue receipt. Thus, the payment of interest u/s. 23(1A) and 23(2) of the L.A. Act and interest awarded u/s. 34 of the L.A. Act are very different in nature.

Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Ghanshyam (HUF) (supra) has clearly marked the distinction between the interest received u/s. 23(1A) and 23(2) r.w.s. 28 of the L.A. Act vis-à-vis interest on delayed payment of compensation u/s. 34 of the L.A. Act. The Larger Bench of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Bikram Singh & Ors. Vs. Land Acquisition Collector & Ors. (supra) has held that the interest received u/s. 34 of the Act on delayed payment of compensation is a revenue receipt and is exigible to tax. Both the judgments rendered by the Hon’ble Apex Court have held that payment of interest on delayed payment of compensation u/s. 34 of the L.A. Act are liable to tax under the provisions of Income Tax Act.
