S.57 do not provide for deduction of any expenditure from salary income of an MLA

July 7, 2012 4101 Views 2 comments Print

This finding of the Tribunal in the case of Jaswant Singh (supra), clearly upholds the view that the provisions of section 57 do not provide for any deduction of expenditure from such salary income, etc. of an MLA. Only those exemptions as laid out as per the provisions of section 10(14), read with rule 2BB(1) and section 10(17) are allowable from an MLA’s salary and other allowances granted in such capacity. Thus, the Commissioner (Appeals)’s action in rejecting the assessee’s claim for allowing deduction of expenditure under section 57 has to be upheld.

Period of holding to be reckoned from ‘date of purchase’ & not from date of demat

July 7, 2012 14350 Views 0 comment Print

In case of securities the ‘date of purchase’ has to be taken from the broker’s note/contract note and the period of holding is also to be reckoned from the ‘date of purchase’ and not from the ‘date of dematerialization’. Since the holding period of the shares as per the broker’s note and its subsequent sale after dematerialization is more than 12 months, the shares become long-term capital asset and the assessee’s claim of long-term capital gain is correct.

July 6, 2012 1817 Views 0 comment Print

With regard to the first issue the AO was under the wrong impression in treating the reimbursement of ‘scheme expenses’ as provision for expenses whereas the fact remains that the expenses were crystallized and it was paid immediately after the end of the financial year and similar expenses were allowed as eligible for deduction in the subsequent year. With regard to applicability of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act also, the learned CIT(A) gave cogent reasons in holding that provisions relating to TDS are not applicable and on similar issue the matter was decided in favour of the assessee in respect of A.Y. 2007-08.

July 6, 2012 4557 Views 0 comment Print

DCIT v. Enpro Finance Ltd Clause-b of sub section (1) of section 54G does not use its specific phrase ‘for the purpose of its business of under taking’ except that the business should be in non-urban area. Therefore, it can be interpreted that assessee should carry on any business in non urban area. If the amounts are utilized for acquisition of assets for the purpose of its business, this should qualify for the purpose of exemption under section 54G as there is no requirement that the land and building should be used for the purpose of the business of industrial undertaking.
