The AO was of the opinion that when interest accrued on loan was credited in the creditor’s account, the assessee was supposed to deduct tax at source within the meaning of provisions contained in Section 194A of the Act. Since assessee failed to deduct tax at source from the amount of interest credited in the creditor’s account, the AO passed the order u/s 201(1) and 201(1A).

An unregistered private trust cannot open a Demat account in its name and in the name of Gods or Goddesses

January 16, 2011 7728 Views 0 comment Print

Demat account is essential a commercial activity done on a day to day basis and it is not expected that a private trust would bring the Gods and Goddesses in the matter of share trading business. In our view, the Respondent No. 2 has rightly rejected the prayer of the Petitioner holding that such account cannot be operated in view of the circular of the SEBI which is annexed at page 23 annexure “C”.

Raising a legal claim, even if it is ultimately found to be legally unacceptable, cannot amount to furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income.

January 16, 2011 651 Views 0 comment Print

When an assessee-company exploits its property to earn income in form of rent, rental income received by assessee is chargeable to tax under head "income from house property" and not under head "profits and gains of business"

Merely because the property was given on leave or licence for a specific purpose of running restaurant or it was given along with furniture, fixtures as well as other equipments required for running of restaurant, the same, could not change the character of rental income which is “income from house property” and the same would not become business income

Mere non acceptance of Assessees Legal Claim will not amount to furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income

January 16, 2011 1003 Views 0 comment Print

We find that the A.O., CIT (A) as well as the Tribunal has only interpreted the provisions of sec. 80-IA(9) and Sec. 80HHC in a different way. As held by their Lordship, in the case of Reliance Petroproducts Ltd (supra) that merely because the assessee has made some legal claim which has not been accepted by the A.O. that will not amount to furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income of the assessee. In our opinion, there is no justification to support the A.O. for levy of the penalty on the claim of the assessee u/s 80HHC, which was not accepted. We, accordingly, delete the entire penalty by cancelling the penalty order passed by the A.O.
