Human probability/tendency of non-cooperation by parties after business transaction is over, is required to be considered while deciding bona fide aspect of assessee in penalty matter under section 271(1)(c)

February 25, 2011 957 Views 0 comment Print

When transactions with a particular party are over that party may not be ready to co-operate in giving information which are exactly asked by the Assessing Officer from the assessee, under these circumstances, the revenue authorities have ample powers under the Act to issue summons to the party and if they are not exercising such powers, the assessee cannot be blamed for concealing particulars and or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income.

Exemption to Trust U/s. 11 of Income Tax Act can not be denied if Payment made to concerns covered U/s. 13(3) not excessive

February 25, 2011 6072 Views 0 comment Print

DDIT(E)-II Vs. M/s. Rock Church Ministries (ITAT Hyderabad ) The purpose of section 13(1)(c) is to deprive a religious or charitable trust from exemption if it is found that its income is used or applied, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the specified persons. Section 13(1)(c) carves out a general exception wherein the provisions of sections 11 and 12 will not operate on account of user or application of any income of the trust for any direct or indirect benefit of the any specified persons. It is an undisputed fact that the rent paid of Rs. 9,500 is not excessive even as per the old provisions of municipal. The assessee paid the rent as per the old municipal taxes. The present rental value would be much more than the rent paid by the assessee for the property having a building of 4000 sq. Ft. on a land admeasuring 15,000 sq. ft. that too in a prime locality in the city of Hyderabad. The market rent i.e., Rs. 80,000 per month as estimated by the Government Valuer is much more to the rent paid by the assessee. The Assessing Officer could not establish that the rent paid by the assessee is excessive and the rental value estimated by the Government valuer is incorrect. The contention of the Revenue that there is variation in the name in the municipal records and I.T. records is also baseless as the name in the municipal records is in abbreviated form.

Notification No. 11/2011 – Income Tax Income-tax : Section 80-IA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 – Deductions – Profits and gains from industrial infrastructure undertakings, etc. – Notified undertaking. NOTIFICATION NO. 11/2011 [F.NO. 178/55/2008 (ITA-I)], DATED 24-2-2011. WHEREAS the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (iii) of sub-section (4) of section 80-IA of the Income-tax Act, 1961(43 of 1961) (hereinafter referred to as the said Act), has framed and notified a scheme for industrial park, by the notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue, Central Board of Direct Taxes) vide number S.O. 51(E), dated the 8th January, 2008 and amended vide number S.O. 1605(E), dated 2nd July, 2008;

Denial of deduction u/s. 80P(2)(a)(i) of I-T Act, 1961

February 23, 2011 4725 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee is, admittedly, neither a `primary agricultural credit society’ nor a `primary cooperative agricultural and rural development bank’. As such, it is not covered by the exceptions to s. 80P(4), as provided by the said sub-section itself, denying deduction u/s. 80P to all cooperative banks. The Legislature in its wisdom restricted the exemption, which extends to the whole of the specified incomes, i.e., of cooperatives societies undertaking specified activities, w.e.f. 1/4/2007 to the said two primary units, where the assessee is a cooperative bank. The assessee in the instant case being an apex cooperative society lending money to such primary units functioning within the State of Kerala, he denied the assessee its claim for deduction u/s. 80P (2)(a)(i).
