Interest income taxable on accrual basis, though the same has become irrecoverable

July 31, 2012 12411 Views 0 comment Print

It is no doubt true that the Tribunal as well as the Assessing Officer had recorded the fact that the assessee was following the mercantile system of accounting. Hence, the accrual theory of interest income was to be assessed in the year in which it had accrued and had become due. As already pointed out by the Apex Court, in the mercantile system of accounting, even though the principle of accrual is followed, the real income theory, nevertheless, has its relevance to find out the assessability of an income.

July 31, 2012 1379 Views 0 comment Print

As is the settled legal position, in the light of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s decision in the case of ACIT vs. Saurashtra Kutch Exchange Ltd. (305 ITR 227) , a judicial decision acts retrospectively. As Their Lordships observed in this case, judges do not make the law, they only discover or find the correct law and, therefore, a rectification of mistake in an order can also be carried out in the light of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment passed after the subject order is passed. The action of the CIT (Appeals) was thus correct and does not call for any interference.
