Donation towards corpus can’t be added to Income if Assessee furnishes full details

October 17, 2012 5188 Views 0 comment Print

The question as to whether the amount constituted the corpus fund of the assessee-trust, in view of the fact that the Commissioner (Appeals) after considering declaration from all the 60 donors of the corpus fund certifying that they have donated towards corpus fund of the assessee-society and the revenue has not raised any ground of appeal against the admission of these declarations produced by the assessee before the Commissioner (Appeals), the amount in question has to be held as constituting ‘Corpus Fund’ of the assessee-society and accordingly, the order of the Judicial Member on the issue is to be confirmed.

Interest on bad & doubtful debts kept in reserve account eligible for deduction u/s. 43D

October 17, 2012 2314 Views 0 comment Print

Mere crediting of the interest to a reserve cannot be said to be an incidence by which the said interest could be charged to tax. Whatever has been recovered by the assessee has been shown as income. Therefore, the assessee is entitled to claim of such interest under the provisions of section 43D and the claim of the assessee cannot be rejected simply on the ground that interest had been credited on such type of debts in the reserve account.

CIT can’t exercise revisionary power against a well reasoned order for mere disagreement with AO’s view

October 17, 2012 1210 Views 0 comment Print

It is settled law that when an officer adopts one of the courses permissible in law and it has resulted in a loss of revenue or when two views are possible and the Assessing Officer takes one view with which the Commissioner does not agree, the order cannot be treated as erroneous in so far as it is prejudicial to the interests of the revenue.

Assessee should not be made to suffer for Non Application of mind by AO

October 17, 2012 1581 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee had filed and furnished all details and particulars relating to the royalty payment including agreements, calculation and the approval. There was no failure on the part of the assessee to furnish true and correct all material facts. The facts were available before and were within the knowledge of the Assessing Officer. The new Assessing Officer as per the reasons recorded on the basis of the same facts, has observed that royalty payment should have been disallowed as it was capital in nature. This is a question of legal inference or interpretation which has been drawn from the same material facts on record. There is no allegation that there was failure or omission on the part of the assessee to furnish and state all material facts.

Tribunal cannot consider validity of retrospective amendment

October 17, 2012 3303 Views 0 comment Print

The validity of a provision cannot be considered or adjudicated upon by the Tribunal constituted under the Act. Section 260A provides for an appeal from every order passed by the Appellate Tribunal. If it involves a substantial question of law, such question of law should arise from the order of the Tribunal. If the Tribunal cannot consider the validity of a retrospective amendment, no doubt such question does not arise from its order and the jurisdiction conferred on the High Court under section 260A cannot also enable the High Court to consider such validity or otherwise.

No acquisition cost, no capital gains tax

October 17, 2012 3007 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee was granted right of lifting water from said well which is independent right given by the State Government for the rent of Rs. one per year. There is also nothing to suggest that right of lifting of water was acquired by assessee by incurring any cost. Such right is not covered by the provisions of section 55(2). Therefore, no capital gain could be worked out, since provisions of section 45(1) read with section 48(1) are not applicable in respect of payment made to assessee in lieu of surrendering the right to lift the water from the well. Accordingly, capital gain as worked out by the Assessing Officer is not justified.
