S. 80JJA Deduction available on Income from manufacturing fuel briquettes from bagasse

January 13, 2013 32117 Views 0 comment Print

It is a undisputed finding of fact that the collected bagasse has been used by the assessee to make briquettes for fuel as that indeed is the business of the assessee. The reliance upon the circular No.772, dated 23-12-1998 by the revenue is misplaced. The aforesaid Circular does not restrict its benefits only to local bodies.

January 13, 2013 2808 Views 0 comment Print

Even though the Tribunal had not given any finding as regards the primary purpose, yet a reading of the order of the Assessing Officer shows that he had considered the clauses in the trust deed to arrive at the finding that the primary objects of the trust are charitable in nature and that the property given was impressed with the character of trust property.

Reassessment initiated to disallow loss on hedging of metals losses is untenable if losses were allowed originally

January 13, 2013 2186 Views 0 comment Print

The petitioner has been claiming that he is dealing in hedging besides in the wholesale business of gold and silver ornaments. To insure against price fluctuations, he has been hedging in such metals in MCX. The claim of the assessee, therefore, had to be examined in terms of clause (a) to sub-section (5) to section 43 of the Act. If for some reason such claim was not sustainable,

Decision on debatable point of law or fact cannot be corrected by rectification u/s. 254(2)

January 13, 2013 2072 Views 0 comment Print

A bare look at section 254(2) of the Act, which deals with rectification, makes it amply clear that a ‘mistake apparent from the record’ is rectifiable. In order to attract the application of section 254(2), a mistake must exist and the same must be apparent from the record. The power to rectify the mistake, however, does not cover cases where a revision or review of the order is intended.

We find that society is running the school under the management of receiver appointed by Hon’ble High Court. For the entire years the income of the school was exempt and for the assessment year 2007-08, the assessee had obtained prior approval of CCIT, Panchkulla for exemption u/s 10(23)(vi).

On the other hand, the ld. D.R. while agreeing that the interest on fixed deposits pledged with the bank on account of margin money is eligible for deduction u/s 10A of the Act submits that in view of the finding recorded by the A.O. the assessee is not entitled to deduction u/s 10A of the Act in respect of interest on NSC and interest on loan given to its employees. He, therefore, submits that to this extent the order passed by the A.O. be upheld.

Undisputedly, the assessee company earned income of Rs. 4,65,00,000/- only by way of Engineering fees. Another amount of Rs 4,65,00,000/- had been received as tooling advance. This latter amount was to be paid to the vendors of M/s. Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. This payment was a reimbursement.

January 12, 2013 2670 Views 0 comment Print

The tribunal took the view that the addition made was only on the basis of the discrepancy in the TDS Certificate and not on the basis of any finding that some extra charges were received by the assessee, but had not been accounted for.

Rigours of the conditions enumerated in clauses (a) and (b) of section 80-IB, has been relaxed by the legislature to achieve certain socio-economic object and, therefore, proviso to section 80-IB should be given a liberal interpretation so as to not to defeat a genuine claim for deduction by a developer who undertakes to develop a housing project in a slum area under the scheme approved by the Central or State Govt.
