Revenue may take steps to implement Order passed by CIT(A) despite non expiry of time to file Appeal with ITAT

March 12, 2013 1047 Views 0 comment Print

We do not find that the assessee is entitled to stay of recovery proceedings during the limitation period for the filing of the appeal. There is no deemed stay of liability after the enforceable order is passed by an authority under the statute. In view of the above, mere fact that the petitioner had time limit to file an appeal does not bar the revenue to execute the order passed.

Order passed without dealing with objections filed by the Assessee is not valid

March 11, 2013 2397 Views 0 comment Print

On going through the order dated 28.01.2013 we find that the same has been passed without any application of mind. To say the least, it is a cut-and-paste job. This is apparent from the fact that the paragraph 3 is merely a repetition of the provisions of section 147 and 148 of the said Act. Thereafter, paragraphs 4, 5 upto 5.6 comprise of quotations and extracts from Supreme Court and High Court decisions.

From perusal of the observation of the Tribunal, it is clear that the Tribunal has not decided as to for what reasons, the reasons given by the appellate authority ware found to be wrong and virtually it is a non-speaking order, deciding nothing.

Books cannot be rejected merely because loss declared by the Assessee was very high

March 10, 2013 1068 Views 0 comment Print

If the books of account cannot be rejected, there is no question of not accepting the loss declared by the assessee. In a business, sometimes the business runs in profit and sometimes runs in loss. Merely because in a particular year, the loss was higher, that would not empower the Assessing Officer to reject the books of accounts, unless some specific defect is pointed out in its maintenance.

Capital reserve arising from amalgamation in the nature of merger is a capital receipt

March 10, 2013 18199 Views 2 comments Print

We have noted that the Assessing Officer’s observations to the effect that ‘business’ under section 28 has a very broad meaning and may be used in different connotations” and that it includes adventure in the nature of trade, as also his reliance on Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment in the case of Rajputana Textiles (Agencies) Ltd. v. CIT 42 ITR 743 (SC), wherein it was held that where from the very beginning, purchase of shares is made with the intention of selling them, at a profit, it is an adventure in the nature of trade. However, we are unable to see any merits in these arguments either.
