ACIT I.T.A No. 1793/Mds/2006 (Chennai) held that payment made to US companies for ‘developing tooling’ and ‘validating new process for manufacture’ of wheels for commercial vehicle was ‘fees for included services’ as per Article 122 of the India-USA tax treaty.
Pannalal Kejriwal Vs CIT (Calcutta High Court)- Whether in the facts of the present case the transactions relating to the shares of ITC Ltd. and Tata Tea Ltd. on behalf of the two partners where the assessee-firm apparently acted as broker could be said to be the transaction on behalf of the assessee-firm itself and the profit of the two partners can be added to the income of the assessee-firm.
The Income Tax Department has asked taxpayers to furnish details earned from agriculture in its newly modified I-T return form — Sahaj — for assessment year 2011-12. Known as Saral-II and originally meant for the service-class, the Sahaj form has a column devoted to income from agriculture. “This information on agricultural income is for record only and not to be taxed,” a senior I-T official said.
The finance ministry today introduced “Sahaj” and “Sugam” forms to make the process of filing income tax returns simpler, user-friendly and to reduce compliance burden on salaried persons and small businessmen. “Sahaj and Sugam are major steps towards simplification of income tax return filing,” said Sudhir Chandra, chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes. He also said efforts were being made to facilitate electronic filing through Sahaj and Sugam I-T return forms.

The issue is whether the payments made to the parent company on account of reimbursement of salaries in relation to services rendered by the personnel on deputation to the JV attract the liability of TDS. The Counsel for the assessee and the DR made a contradictory statement with respect to the fact that the details have been furnished before the AO. In these circumstances, it is appropriate to set aside the issue to the file of the AO to verify the details of expenditure and examine whether the payments were actual reimbursement of expenses pertaining to personnel deputed with the assessee company. However the AO shall restrict himself to the evidences which have been submitted before the CIT(A) while deciding the issue in accordance with the law.
ITO v Murlidharan G Pillai – Neither the deposits are proved by the assessee nor the claim of peak is established by him. In fact assessee has also failed to show real destination of the money through bank draft so purchased by him out of the cash deposited in the bank account thereby suppressing material facts in understanding the nature of cash inflow and its destination. Entire transaction of deposits in the bank account remained under crowd of secrecy and, therefore, the explanation furnished by the assessee remained unsatisfactory. Even the benefit of withdrawal through ATM mentioned as above cannot be given importance because they are apparently for household purposes and cannot be said to be available for redeposit in absence of any other evidence of meeting out household expenditure by the assessee. We apparently uphold the contentions of Revenue that entire sum of Rs.17,48,500/- deserves to be confirmed. As a result, we uphold the order of AO setting aside the order of ld. CIT(A). Appeal filed by the Revenue is allowed whereas the Cross Objection filed by the assessee is dismissed.

ACIT [(1998) 60 TTJ (Ahd) 171].
