The view that section 43B is a general provision which merely bars deduction of specified sums, unless they are actually paid and whereas provisions of section 36(1)(va) specifically deal with deduction in respect of payment of employees’ contribution to provident fund and other funds; therefore, the provisions of section 36(1)(va),

By virtue of the provision of clause (d) of sub-section (1) section 115 WB, introduced by Finance Act, 2007, an employer is liable to pay Fringe Benefit Tax on any consideration for employment provided by way of any specified security or sweat equity shares allotted or transferred, directly or indirectly, by such employer free of cost or at concessional rate to his employees. The value of the fringe benefit is determined as the fair market value of the specified security or sweat equity share on the date on which the option vests with the employee as reduced by the amount actually paid, by or recovered from the employee in respect of such security or shares.
As against 6000 surveys conducted u/s 133A in 2004-05 the Department has closely followed the data coming from all the scheduled banks and zeroed in on potential cases and organised 7400 surveys in 2005-06 and detected undisclosed income to the tune of Rs 2300 Crore. Last fiscal it was only 6200 Surveys but detected Rs 2600 Cr undisclosed income. With the Board putting additional officers at the disposal of CCITs for monitoring BCTT, the monthly mop-up which used to average about Rs 36 Cr in 2005-06 has gone up to Rs 46 Cr last fiscal. In fact, the current fiscal opened the account with a collection of Rs 60 Cr in April. Last year BCTT collections were Rs 535 Crore.

Employing muscle power to recover vehicle loans cannot be permitted in a civilised society where there is effective rule of law – procedure of law may be slow, but that is no excuse for use of force: National Consumer Commission. It is well known that the private banks use muscle power to recover loans. The National Consumer Redressal Commission in a recent order came down heavily on such barbaric methods of collection. What more, the Commission held that even the hire purchase agreement is ab initio void.
In the present case, the dividend income is admittedly taxed in the hands of the assessee/ shareholder. Once the dividend income is assessed in the hands of the assessee / share-holder, the proviso to Section 199 of the Act would have no application and consequently denying the credit of TDS to the assessee / shareholder does not arise at all. The first proviso to Section 199 read with Rule 30A apply inter alia, where the dividend income is to be taxed in the hands of a person other than the shareholder. As the case of the assessee falls in the first part of Section 199, the assessee could not be denied credit of TDS.
