Mere erroneous claim in the absence of any concealment or furnishing of inaccurate particulars, is no ground for levying penalty, especially when there is nothing on record to show that the explanation offered by the assessee was not bona fide or any material particulars were concealed or furnished inaccurate .
The judgment of Hon’ble Delhi High Court rendered in the case of Neo Poly Pack Ltd. (supra) is squarely applicable in the present case because in that case it was held that , for the sake of consistency, the same view should continue to prevail for subsequent year also unless there is material change in the facts.
If the dichotomy between eligibility of profit and deductibility of profit is not kept in mind then section 115JB will cease to be a self-contained code. In Section 115JB, as in section 115JA, it has been clearly stated that relief will be computed u/s 80HHC (3)/(3A), subject to the conditions under sub-sections (4) and (4A) of that Section.
A.O. has applied Rule 8D holding that Rule 8D is retrospective in nature. It is now settled that Rule 8D is prospective and is applicable on and from the A.Y. 2008-09. We direct the A.O. to recalculate the disallowance, if any, without applying Rule 8D on the dividend income shown at Rs..4,00,039/-. The A.O. is further directed to verify the contention of the appellant that the investments have not been made out of borrowed capital, after giving the appellant an opportunity of being heard.
Approval u/s. 80G once granted shall continue to be valid in perpetuity unless and until a show-cause notice is issued by the concerned CIT showing his intention to withdraw already granted such approval.
Disallowance under section 14A has to be made in accordance with the principle laid down by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej & Boyce Mfg.Co.Ltd. Mumbai. Vs. Dy. Commissioner of Income . Rule 8D should not be applied and the AO has to adopt a reasonable basis or method consistent with all relevant facts and circumstances and after affording reasonable opportunity to the assessee to place all germane material on the record.
The law stands very well settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of CIT vs. Reliance Petroproducts (P.) Ltd., (supra) that merely disallowing a claim of deduction raised by the assessee is not a ground to proceed u/s 271(1)(c). For penalty, it has to be either a case of furnishing of inaccurate particulars, concealment of income or at least the claim should have been proved to be a mala-fide one. In our considered opinion, the said eventualities do not exist in instant case. Therefore, the penalty in question does not hold ground.
Bhole Bhandari Charitable Trust v. CIT From the proviso attached to the section 293C of the Act, it is crystal clear that even if any Income-tax Authority wants to withdraw approval, he shall issue a show-cause notice against the proposed withdrawal to the assessee concerned and after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard shall withdraw approval after recording reasons for doing so.
As far as difference in foreign exchange is concerned, it is to be computed based on straight formula. Similarly, depreciation could also be verified from details available on the record. Considering all these aspects, we set aside this issue to the file of the Assessing Officer for readjudication.
Sec. 24 has been amended w.e.f. 01-04-2002. Before the amendment, various categories of expenditure like collection charges, insurance premium, ground rent, land revenue, etc., were allowable, but after the amendment, only two types of deductions are possible, namely, 30% of the total annual value and amount of interest paid for acquisition of property. No other deduction is possible and accordingly we hold that the amount of expenditure incurred on account of brokerage, professional consultancy, maintenance, etc., relating to the property is not allowable under the head ‘income from house property’.
