Automation Software expense allowable as Revenue Expense

March 6, 2020 1602 Views 0 comment Print

The Agreement refers to the US parent company of the Assessee having acquired license to use EDA tools from the vendors and the right of the Assessee to use the same and the fact that billing will be done on the Assessee on the basis of actual use of the software by the Assessee. It is thus clear that the Assessee had acquired no right or interest whatsoever in the EDA tools and had only a right to use the software. It is not the case of the revenue that the EDA tools was not connected to the business of the Assessee. In such circumstances, we are of the view that the deduction was rightly allowed by the CIT(A) as revenue expenditure.

Sales bogus if investee is a penny stock company, with no credentials, and the sale rates artificially hiked, with no real buyers

March 5, 2020 1251 Views 0 comment Print

(a) The scrip is a penny stock, purchased at a low price, which is over a period of time ramped up by operators acting in benami names or name lenders. The purchases are off market purchases, and not reported on the exchange; (b) purchase/s is back dated, i.e., per a back dated contract note, paid for in cash, so that there is no trail; (c) the purchases are in the physical form, and dematerialized only subsequently; generally long after the purchase date, being back dated and, further, close to the date of sale; and (d) The investee is a penny stock company, with no credentials, and the sale rates artificially hiked, with no real buyers, so that inference of the sales being bogus, is unmistakable.
