Smt. Alka Agarwal Vs. ADIT (ITAT Delhi) – once the assessee has converted a capital asset into stock-in-trade, the capital gain arising on such transaction of transfer shall be deemed to be the income of the previous year in which transfer took effect. That was the ordinary position where the capital gain would have been liable to tax in the AY 2005-06 itself. Now, the provisions of Section 45(2) make an exception to the generality of provisions of Section 45(1).
Re -Ardex Investments Mauritius Ltd. (AAR) – Applicant was a tax resident of Mauritius and the Tax Residency Certificate produced in this behalf has to be accepted view of the decision in Azadi Bachao Andolan (263 ITR 706). The applicant, a company incorporated in Mauritius, was dealing with the shares it held in an Indian company and selling them to another company in Germany. Article 13 of the Treaty between India and Mauritius applied. According to paragraph 4 of the treaty, the capital gains derived by a resident of Mauritius from the alienation of shares would be taxable only in Mauritius and not in India in the absence of the applicant having a Permanent Establishment in India.

CIT vs. Jyoti Plastic Works Pvt Ltd (Bombay High Court) – under Section 80IB(2)(iv) what is relevant is the employment of ten or more workers and not the mode and the manner in which the said workers are employed by the assessee. In other words, irrespective of the terms of employment, condition of Section 80IB(2)(iv) would stand fulfilled if the assessee in aggregate employs ten or more workers in its manufacturing activity. The fact that the employer – employee relationship between the workers employed by the assessee differs cannot be a ground to deny deduction under Section 80IB of the Act, so long as the workers employed by the assessee in aggregate exceed ten in number.

GRID-CO Limited Vs. ACIT (ITAT Cuttack)-The Tribunal observed that Circular No. 5 and Circular No. 736 had given restricted meaning to the word ‘rent’. However, in view of the decisions relied by the tax department, the word ‘rent’ is to be given a wider meaning. Accordingly, the contention of the taxpayer on this aspect was rejected. Since, the taxpayer supplied power through the transmission lines of OPTCL, the taxpayer merely obtained a service from OPTCL which had the infrastructure in the form of equipment and transmission lines.

Divine International (ITAT Delhi) – The CIT(A) has denied the deduction in respect of the addition on account of the so called sundry creditors on the ground that as per the provisions of Section 80 HHC, it is only the income derived by the assessee from the export of such merchandise which is eligible and the addition on account of creditors cannot be considered as income derived from the exports.
