Levy of interest on the ground of non-payment of correct amount of tax by itself can be a ground for non-acceding to the request of the assessee as the levy is a statutory one but it is another thing to say that the said factor shall not be taken into consideration at all for the purpose of exercise of the discretionary jurisdiction on the part of the Commissioner. Appellant volunteered that the securities be sold. Why the said request of the appellant could not be acceded to has not been explained. It was a voluntary act on the part of the appellant. B. M.

TAN is a unique identification number, which is allotted to people who are deducting or collecting tax at source on behalf of the income tax department. It has to be quoted in all TDS/ TCS returns. As in the case of permanent account numbers (PAN) that helps to keep track of all assessees and their returns, TAN is used to keep a tab on all tax dedicators and deductions. If all these officers have a TAN, It would be easier to track collections by state governments through TDS.
The government will soon introduce biometric permanent account numbers (PAN) for income tax payers, though initially only new applicants would be brought under its net, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said on Monday.
The Income Tax department had on 26.3.2008 advised all tax deductors to invariably quote PAN in their TDS returns in all cases wherein they have deducted tax and deposited it into the government account. This has been emphasized as non-quoting of PAN results in inability to give credit to the deductees while processing their cases.
According to income tax officials, Section 55(2) of the I-T Act estimates the cost of right to carry on any business as nil. However, non-compete compensation received by a person carrying on a reputed business is not explicitly covered in the clause right to carry on any business and is claimed as capital receipt. The department has favoured an amendment to Section 28 of the I-T Act to exclude such compensation from the list of capital transactions. The non-compete fee is shown as capital receipt and thus gets exemption.
