Stay of Demand -ITAT asks to furnish surety to Assessing Officer

February 25, 2012 474 Views 0 comment Print

Having regard to the circumstances of the case we are of the view that the balance of convenience is in granting conditional stay. As declared in the open court, assessee is directed to pay a sum of Rs. 75,00,000/- on or before 15th March 2012 and with regard to the balance outstanding demand assessee should furnish proper surety to the Assessing Officer. The Registry is directed to post the appeal for final hearing on 23rd April 2012. Since the date is announced in the open court the issuance of notice to the parties is dispensed with.

Immunity U/s. 271AAA(2) cannot be only because entire tax, along with interest, was not paid before filing of income tax return

February 24, 2012 1306 Views 0 comment Print

In our considered view, therefore, on the facts of the present case wherein entire tax and interest has been duly paid well within the time limit for payment of notice of demand under section 156 and well before the penalty proceedings were concluded, the assessee could not be denied the immunity under section 271AAA(2) only because entire tax, along with interest, was not paid before filing of income tax return or, for that purpose, before concluding the assessment proceedings.

Payments to outside lawyers which was not claimed as deductions in computation of profits cannot be disallowed under section 40(a)(ia)

February 24, 2012 907 Views 0 comment Print

There has been a lot of emphasis in the orders of the authorities below, as indeed in learned Departmental Representative’s arguments before us, about the scope of assessee’s obligations to deduct tax at source under section 194J. However, having regard to the fact that we are in seisin of the limited question of disallowance under section 40(a)(ia), we see no need to deal with that aspect of the matter at this stage. As far as this appeal is concerned, all these things issues regarding tax deduction at source obligations will be relevant only if one is to come to the conclusion that section 40(a)(ia) can be invoked in respect of the payments in question.

Assessee entitled to claim deduction both under Sec.36(1)(vii) and Sec.36(1)(viia) of the Act but amount of deduction shall not exceed the amount by which such debt or part thereof exceeds the credit balance in the provision for bad and doubtful debts account

February 24, 2012 3304 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee is thus entitled to claim deduction both under Sec.36(1)(vii) and Sec.36(1)(viia) of the Act. The only limitation is that the amount of deduction shall not exceed the amount by which such debt or part thereof exceeds the credit balance in the provision for bad and doubtful debts account. In the present case there is no dispute that provisions of Sec.36(1)(viia) applies to the Assessee and also the fact the amount of deduction relating to bad debts written off is limited to the amount by which such debt or part thereof exceeds the credit balance in the provision for bad and doubtful debts account.

However, if on one hand the amount is added as unexplained expenditure, still it retains the character of the expenditure incurred on the object of trust.

February 22, 2012 1653 Views 0 comment Print

Second appeal could not have been filed against the same order when the first appeal had already been dismissed by the ld. CIT(Appeals). On the other hand, the ld. CIT, DR submitted that the first appeal against the assessment order had been decided and, therefore, the second appeal filed belatedly before the ld. CIT(Appeals) is non-est. We have considered the facts of the case and submissions made before us.

Balance in the shares account is Rs.23,52,580/- whereas as per books of account and as per trial balance it is Rs.22,93,130/- and assessee has failed to explain the difference or substantiate his plea that there is no difference.
