No Logic in Rejection of CUP method on the ground that there was difference in dates of transactions with AEs and non AEs

March 25, 2013 1044 Views 0 comment Print

The other objection taken by the TPO for rejecting CUP method was that there was difference in the dates of comparable transactions. The ld. DR brought to our notice the transactions entered into by the assessee with its AE on 27.11.2004 which was compared by the assessee with transactions entered with Non-AEs on 10.5.2004 & 12.3.2005. It can be observed that the comparison is made by the assessee with the transactions entered into in the same year with Non-AEs.

CBDT Instruction fixing monetary limits on filing of IT appeal is retrospective

Karnataka High Court in CIT v. Ranka & Ranka [2012] 206 Taxman 322 wherein the Division Bench has considered Instruction No.3 and the National Litigation, Policy, had held as under: (i) Instruction No.3/11 is also applicable to the pending appeals. (ii) As the tax effect in the instant case is less than Rs.10 lakhs, the appeal stands dismissed on the ground of monetary limit, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the claim, making it clear that the Department is at liberty to proceed against the assessee in future, if there any amount due from the assessee, on similar issue and if it is above the monetary limit prescribed.

S. 269SS not violated if Assessee borrows in cash from Relatives to meet urgent needs

March 24, 2013 15527 Views 1 comment Print

In our considered view, in the light of the relationship between the assessee and her father-in-law, the Tribunal has rightly held that the genuineness of the transaction is not disputed, in which, the amount has been paid by the father-in-law for purchase of property and the source had also been disclosed during the assessment proceedings. If there was a genuine and bonafide transaction and the tax payer could not get a loan or deposit by account payee cheque or demand draft for some bona fide reason, the authority vested with the power to impose penalty has a discretion not to levy penalty.

Validity of Reopening based on retrospective amendment?

March 24, 2013 2848 Views 0 comment Print

The original assessment was made on 30-11-2006 under section 143(3). The Finance Act, 2008 inserted clause (h) of Explanation 1 to section 115JB retrospectively from 1-4-2001. The effect of this clause was to increase the book profit by the amount of deferred tax and the provision therefor. It is not in dispute that one of the reasons to believe as recorded by the respondent is that in view of the retrospective amendment, the deferred tax liability, for which a provision had been made in the accounts, was to be added back to the book profit.

S. 263 Revisionary power cannot be exercised on a debatable issue

March 24, 2013 2357 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case, it was repeatedly emphasized that the assessee’s dividend income was confined to what it received from investment made in a sister concern, and that only one dividend warrant was received. These facts, in the opinion of this court, were material, and had been given weightage by the Tribunal in its impugned order. There is no dispute that the investment to the sister concern, was not questioned; even the Commissioner has not sought to undermine this aspect.

Notional foreign exchange gains or losses is to be taken into account in computation of income

As regards the year of allowability, the claim has to be allowed on the basis of restatement of the liability on the balance-sheet date as held by the hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Woodward Governor India (P.) Ltd. (supra). Thus the claim of the assessee is allowable. In case there is gain in a year and the assessee has not offered it to tax, the Revenue is free to take action under law. In these years, admittedly there is loss which is allowable as deduction.

Depreciation not allowable on assets never been put to use

March 24, 2013 11916 Views 2 comments Print

The machinery which was purchased by the assessee in the course of expansion of new Project was installed in the year 1996-97 relevant to the Asst. Year 1997-98. There is nothing on record to suggest that the assessee had put the machinery to use during the Asst. Year 1998-99. It appears that the assessee had claimed 100% depreciation as the project was completely abandoned later in the year 1999. Since the machinery was never put to use by the assessee no depreciation is allowable for the Asst. Year 1998-99.

No disallowance U/s. 43B for Interest payable on deep discount bond

March 24, 2013 3815 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, the interest is payable in respect of amounts deposited by financial institutions with the assessee by subscribing to the bonds issued by the assessee. The interest is payable in respect of certain deposits received by the assessee and not in respect of any loans, advances or borrowings made by the assessee. For the same reason, clause (e) of section 43B relating to loans and advances from a scheduled bank is also not applicable in the instant case.

Statement recorded during search cannot be deleted without proving the same to be incorrect

March 22, 2013 1224 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case no material has been produced by the appellant/assessee to show that the admission made by him was incorrect in any way. On the other hand, it is the assessee who is insisting that it is for the department to corroborate the statement of admission made by him and until and unless the department corroborates the same, the statement cannot be relied upon. Admission once made can certainly be retracted, if the circumstances permit, and it can also be shown to have been made under some mistake or to be otherwise incorrect.
