Loan Waiver Results in Reduction of Asset Cost for Depreciation

April 11, 2012 2918 Views 0 comment Print

After the introduction of Explanation 10, it is no longer possible to contend that the subsidy given by the government, by whatever name called, cannot be reduced from the actual cost of the assets in terms of Section 43(1) of the Act for the purpose of allowing depreciation. But Explanation 10 does not cover the case of waiver of the loan. It covers only the grant of a subsidy or re-i mbursement by whatever name called. The case of the assessee may not, therefore, fall under Explanation 10, but having regard to the facts as found which we have alluded to earlier,

April 11, 2012 2562 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case, the findings recorded by the Tribunal are correct as the CIT has not gone into and has not given any reason for observing that the order passed by the Assessing Officer was erroneous. The finding recorded by the CIT is that order passed by the Assessing Officer may be erroneous. The CIT had doubts about the valuation and sale consideration received but the CIT should have examined the said aspect himself and given a finding that the order passed by the Assessing Officer was erroneous.

S. 2(22)(e) Registered shareholder must also be beneficial shareholder

April 9, 2012 2123 Views 0 comment Print

Even after the amendment with effect from 1988 and introduction of the words a person who is the beneficial owner of shares cannot be construed to in a way alter the position that the shareholder has to be the registered shareholder. The amendment imposes an additional condition that the registered shareholder must also be the beneficial shareholder of the company that has furnished loan/advance. the fact that the shareholders of the assessee company were also shareholders of the company which had given loan/advances is not sufficient and does not meet the requirement of Section 2(22)(e). The voting rights of the shareholder, i.e., the assessee can and should be taken into consideration.

April 9, 2012 1035 Views 0 comment Print

Mr. Sharma, learned A.S.G. however submits that the appeal has been filed prior to the issuance of circular dated 9th February, 2011, therefore, the circular does not apply to the present case.In the case of Commissioner of Income Tax V/s Polycott Corporation a Division Bench of this high Court, while interpreting similar Instruction No.2 of 2005, issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, regarding the earlier limit fixed for filing appeal before the High Court, has held that the circular would have a retrospective effect. In Commissioner of Income Tax V/s Smt. Vijaya V. Kavekar, a Division Bench of this Court, while interpreting the very circular which is involved in this appeal i.e. Circular No.3 of 2011, has held that the circular has a retrospective operation and instructions contained in the circular would apply even to the pending cases. Therefore, the contention of Mr. Sharma that the circular does not apply to the pending cases is rejected.

If Prima facie demand raised has no leg to stand, it should be stayed fully

April 9, 2012 1357 Views 0 comment Print

If on a cursory glance it appears that the demand raised has no leg to stand, it would be undesirable to require the assessee to pay full or substantive part of the demand. From the perusal of materials brought on record, we are of the view that the Commissioner having himself expressed opinion in the order that there is enough strength in the plea of the assessee for stay of the demand, there was no occasion to direct for deposit of 30 percent.
