DCIT v. Sports Station (India) (P.) Ltd. As is apparent from the impugned order, the Assessing Officer did not bring any material on record for holding that the payment of interest at the rate of 15 per cent per annum to unsecured creditors was excessive and how interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum was reasonable or represented fair market value for the services and facilities.
After reading statutory provisions as contained in section 80IB(1), 80IB(2) & 80IB(4) of the Act, we find that provisions do not provide in any way separate registration or maintenance of separate records for claiming deduction u/s 80IB of the Act. The requirement under section 80IB(1), 80IB(2) and 80IB(4) is that profit must derive from an industrial undertaking.
The capital expenditure incurred by the assessee on purchase of motor cars could not be considered as expenditure incurred by the assessee on in-house research & development and, therefore, the same was not eligible for weighted deduction under section 35(2AB). Similarly, capitalized interest on purchase of car was also not eligible for this benefit for same reasons because it was equal or similar to cost of car. Hence, this ground was to be rejected.

There is no dispute with the fact that assessee has commenced business activity during the year. As seen from the nature of the expenditure claim by assessee under the head research expenses, the entire expenditure pertains to use of raw material, freight and other expenditure which are in revenue field and there is no capital expenditure involved nor any capital asset was purchased as part of these expenses. Just because the benefits of research may have some enduring benefit, the expenditure cannot be considered as capital in nature. Following the principles laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Empire Jute Co. Ltd, vs. CIT (supra), we hold that this expenditure is revenue in nature.
The assessee is an individual who is the Managing Director of Cadence Design Systems India Pvt.Ltd. For the AY 2004-05, he filed a return of income at `1,75,05,081/- comprising of salary income at `1,02,72,400/- from Cadence Design Systems India Pvt.Ltd. and salary income of `65,97,305/- from Cadence Design System Inc.,USA. The assessee has been granted stock option under an incentive stock option agreement dated17th September, 1993with Cadence Design Systems,USA. During the year under consideration, the assessee sold the stock options and received the sum of `11,36,829/- on sale of such stock options. The same was declared as long term capital gain. The Assessing Officer assessed the same as short term capital gain and also levied penalty under Section 271(1)(c) thereon at `2,50,102/- being the difference between the tax as short term capital gain and tax as long term capital gain on the sum of `11,36,829/-. The learned CIT(A) cancelled the penalty. Hence, the Revenue is in appeal.
Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Vardhman Overseas Ltd. (supra) has observed that section 41(1) has been incorporated in the Act to cover a particular facts situation. Section applies where a trading liability was allowed as a deduction in earlier years in computing the business income of the assessee and the assessee has obtained a benefit in respect of such trading liability in later year by way of remission or cessation of the liability. In such a case, the section says that whatever benefit has arisen to the assessee in the later year by way of remission of the liability will be brought to tax in that year.
CIT V. Ashok Leyland Ltd. Expenditure incurred in connection with the issue of shares and debentures of the company to public subscription, which qualify for consideration under Section 35D, are underwriting commission, brokerage and charges for drafting, typing, printing and advertisement of the prospectus and nothing more. There is a residual clause to sub clause D, which shows such other items of expenditure not being expenditure eligible for any allowance or deduction under any other provisions of the Act as may be prescribed.
In the present case, a categorical finding is recorded by the Tribunal that the books were never rejected. This aspect has not been considered by the Hon’ble High Court. In the circumstances, the reliance placed on the report of the DVO was misconceived”. By observing these observations, the decision of Hon’ble High Court was set aside and the order passed by the Tribunal was restored by the Hon’ble Apex Court. The facts in the present case are similar as in this case also no books of account were rejected before referring the matter u/s 142A of the Act.
This finding of the Tribunal in the case of Jaswant Singh (supra), clearly upholds the view that the provisions of section 57 do not provide for any deduction of expenditure from such salary income, etc. of an MLA. Only those exemptions as laid out as per the provisions of section 10(14), read with rule 2BB(1) and section 10(17) are allowable from an MLA’s salary and other allowances granted in such capacity. Thus, the Commissioner (Appeals)’s action in rejecting the assessee’s claim for allowing deduction of expenditure under section 57 has to be upheld.
