Thus, the assessee had earned the benefit as soon as he had purchased the new plant and machinery in full but it is restricted to 50% in that particular year on account of period of usages. Such restrictions cannot divest the statutory right. Law does not prohibit that balance 50% will not be allowed in succeeding year.
The reliance placed on Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment in the case of Empire Jute Co. Ltd. (supra) is well placed as the expenditure incurred by the assessee has direct nexus with its income generating apparatus. Respectfully following various judgments mentioned and relied on by CIT(A) we see no infirmity in his order, which is upheld. The assessee’s cross objection being only in support of CIT(A) order, is rendered infructuous.
A glance at the provisions of section 271(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, suggests that in order to be covered by it, there has to be concealment of the particulars of the income of the assessee. Secondly, the assessee must have furnished inaccurate particulars of his income. The meaning of the word “particulars” used in section 271(1)(c) would embrace the details of the claim made.
The provisions of section 54EC do not make any reference to the assessment year in which the investment is to be made but only lays down a condition of 6 months period of time after the date of transfer of the capital asset.
The assessee computed the gain from sale of flats as long term capital gain taking holding period from the date of development-cum-sale agreement. The Assessing Officer has not accepted the claim of the assessee and has computed capital gain as short term capital gain as the assessee had taken possession of the flats only on 24-2-2005 and therefore, in his view the flats were held only from that date.
The preparation of vegetarian food items and selling the same was mainly for popularizing the vegetarian food habits and in this way the assessee is engaged in promoting the vegetarianism among the people so that they can change their living habits and take the necessary steps for the better of humanity, which is undoubtedly a charitable object of the assessee. The major portion of the income received by the assessee was donated to ISKCON which is a Public Charitable Trust of worldwide recognition and reputation and any donation from one charitable trust to another charitable trust constitute, application of income for the charitable purposes.
The learned CIT continued to observe that section 13(1)(b) of the Act provides that in the case of a trust or charitable institution created or established for the benefit of a particular religious community or caste, no income will be excluded from the total income. It was, further, observed by the learned CIT that provisions of section 11 and 12 cannot be extended to an institution established for the benefit of a particular religious community or caste.
In the instant case, the Judicial Member has not stated anywhere that the profit margin disclosed by the assessee was rejected by the Assessing Officer arbitrarily and the addition made by the Assessing Officer is excessive and arbitrary. The Assessing Officer has discretion to either reject the books of account and estimate gross profit or to consider the books and may make specific addition by considering as to whether the expenditure claimed is reasonable or not.
in this case Ld.CIT(A) has in fact restored the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer for re-consideration and verification from the bank about the amount of actual cessation which amounts to setting aside the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer, and such action is beyond the powers confirmed upon the Ld.CIT(A) while dealing with appeal. So, action of the CIT(A) to this extent being not justified is set aside.
It is clear that for invoking the proviso to section 147 beyond the period of four years, there must be failure on the part of the assessee to either make a return under section 139 or in response to a notice under section 147/148 or to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for the assessment for that assessment year.
