TDS u/s 194A of the Act is to be paid by the recipient in respect of the interest income on the delayed payment

August 13, 2009 3402 Views 0 comment Print

Therefore, we hold that it is a revenue receipt exigible to tax under Section 4 of the Income Tax Act. Section 194-A of the Act has no application for the purpose of this case as it encompasses deduction of the income at the source. However the appellants are entitled to spread over the income for the period for which payment came to be made so as to compute the income for assessing tax for the relevant accounting year.”

Interest income from banks on fixed deposits not necessarily Income from Other Sources

May 16, 2009 9948 Views 0 comment Print

6.1 The main question before us for decision is whether the interest income could be treated as “business income” or “income from other sources”. The answer to this question has to depend on how the interest income derived by the assessee. No doubt, normally, on the placing of funds in banks on short-term or long-term deposits the interest income derived from those sources would be “income from other sources”

8. We have carefully deliberated on the rival contentions raised by the learned AR and DR. The controversy here revolves around chargeability of interest income to the tax which even though technically accrued as per the mercantile-system of accounting being followed by the assessee, but the same was not accounted for as income in view of the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case wherein there was

Interest earned on margin money kept for providing bank guarantee is not exempt

October 24, 2008 4994 Views 0 comment Print

undisputedly, the assessing officer has not initiated proceedings under S.14S of the Act, to lax the interest income of Rs.25,83,848 earned on margin money. In fact, the assessing officer has initiated the proceedings under S.148 to bring to tax the reimbursement of income-tax from APTRANSCO. However, during the course of re-assessment proceedings, the assessing officer also noticed that the assessee has earned interest income of Rs.25,83,848 on margin money kept by it for providing bank guarantee in favour of APTRANSCO, in respect of which it has claimed deduction from the total interest income received during the year under consideration.

Interest on deposits made compulsorily to get BG is not income;

January 16, 2008 1799 Views 0 comment Print

Since excise duty and sales tax did not involve any such turnover such taxes had to be excluded. Commission, interest, rent, etc. do yield profits, but they do not partake of the character of turnover and therefore they are not includible in the total turnover. If so, excise duty and sales tax also cannot form part of the total turnover under section 80HHC(3).
