Whether ratio of expenditure disallowance in lieu of interest payments u/s 14A has to be in the ratio of dividend income to total turnover?

November 6, 2012 988 Views 0 comment Print

Once it is not in dispute that the facts of the case are materially similar to the facts of ISG Traders Ltd. vs. CIT, WB-II, Kolkata (I.T,A No.264 of 2003-2011- TIOL-621-HC-KOL-IT). And that the said decision applies in this case, the computation of disallowance has to be done on the same basis as was accepted by Their Lordships in ISG Traders Ltd.’s case (supra).

Additions u/s. 69A without providing basis of such additions not valid

November 6, 2012 1527 Views 0 comment Print

The assessment order is bereft of any discussion as to what were the materials adverse to the assessee and what was the inference that could be drawn in the light of those materials and documents. Consequently, even while we do not fault the Tribunal’s reasoning about the denial of opportunity to the assessee, the outcome has to be slightly different especially in the light of the decision of the Supreme Court in M. Pirai Choodi (supra).

November 6, 2012 3496 Views 0 comment Print

The judgement of the Bombay High Court in the case of CIT v. Indo Nippon Chemical Co. Ltd. [2000] 245 ITR 384 squarely applies to this case and the same has been affirmed by this Court, which is reported in CIT v. Indo Nippon Chemicals Co. Ltd. [2003] 261 ITR 275 . The assessee followed the net method of valuation of closing stock. The Authorities below are right in coming to the conclusion that MODVAT Credit is excise duty paid.

November 5, 2012 3587 Views 0 comment Print

From the perusal of the aforesaid provisions, it is apparent that after the assessment order is passed, the assessee is entitled not only for the refund but also simple interest on the amount as has been provided under sub-section 4(a) and (b) of the Act. Sub-section 4(b) provides that such interest shall run from the date immediately following the expiry of the period of one hundred and twenty days from the date on which the last of the authorisations for search under section 132 was executed to the date of completion of the assessment.

Earlier return, after a revised return, cannot form the basis of assessment

November 4, 2012 6576 Views 0 comment Print

It is well settled that when a revised return is filed by the assessee, the original return is totally substituted and the revised return alone has to be taken into consideration in completing the assessment. The earlier return, after a revised return has been furnished, cannot form the basis of assessment.

Can bank claim depreciation on stock in trade shown as Investment in Balance Sheet

November 4, 2012 4724 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, we would like to convey that in so far as the books of account are concerned, namely, the balance sheet, the assessee was supposed to follow the mandate of the Reserve Bank of India and, therefore, that by itself would not be a ground to label the securities as ‘investment’. One will have to see the real nature of these securities.

November 4, 2012 8421 Views 0 comment Print

Arrears of rent received by the assessee (as mesne profits) could not be brought to tax for the previous years, when they fell due. They could be brought to tax only during the year of receipt. The revenue had further argued that during the year of receipt, the assessee had shown the amount so received as capital.
