Depreciation is admittedly in the nature of allowance and, therefore, it cannot be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A, which must remain confined to expenditure incurred by the assessee. Similarly, as far as deduction under section 80D is concerned, it cannot be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A either. The deduction under section 80D is not admissible because it is an expenditure for the purpose of earning an income but because, by virtue of specific provision under section 80D, payment of premium of health insurance, which is inherently personal expenses of the assessee, is admissible as deduction. This deduction cannot, therefore, be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A, which, as we have noted earlier, is confined to expenditure incurred for the purpose of an income which is not includible in total income of the assessee.

Marubeni India Pvt. Ltd. v ACIT (I.T.A. No.919/Del/2009) (ITAT Delhi)- Interest income is to be excluded from operating revenue for computing the net profit from operating activity unless such interest income has nexus with the international transaction.

The Supreme Court Monday was angry at the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) which submitted its second status report on money laundering by India’s top tax evader Hasan Ali. A bench of Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy and Justice S.S. Nijjar said: ‘When we look at the (status) report, it is very difficult to remain calm and poised as to what was happening in the country. Let the people of this country know what is happening.’
Rheema Khan, the wife of Pune-based stud farm owner Hasan Ali, would be present in the Supreme Court tomorrow when the Enforcement Directorate submits a status report of the probe into his alleged money-laundering activities. “Hasan Ali’s wife would appear before the Supreme Court tomorrow,” said his lawyer, advocate I A Bagadia here.
Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) in the case of D.B.Zwirn Mauritius (AAR No. 879 of 2011) (Judgment date: 28 March 2011) dealt with the issue of taxability of capital gains on sale of shares by a Mauritian entity under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act) or India-Mauritius tax treaty (the tax treaty). The AAR held that the applicant, holding tax residence certificate, was eligible for the tax treaty benefits. Accordingly, under Article 13(4) of the tax treaty the taxpayer is not liable to pay capital gains tax in India in respect of the transfer of shares held in an Indian company.
Perhaps, for the first time in Indian history, we have a situation that the Union Budget is presented and passed by both the houses of the Parliament in less than a month. Not only this, that too in the current financial year itself. Thanks to virtually no debate in the house even on crucial proposals impacting economy and growth of nation and thanks to the democratic country we are. Simply because there are elections in few states in May / June, we had to cut short the economic agenda of Parliament and made budget a not so important event.
