    I have a doubt with regard to income tax given as below:-

    What would be the income tax treatment of liquidated damages pertaining to delayed supply machinery

    If we consider liquidated damages as capital receipts (CIT vs Saurashtra Cement) then do we need to reduce from actual cost of assets.

    I shall be greatful if you can provide any case law in this regard
