As is the settled legal position, in the light of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s decision in the case of ACIT vs. Saurashtra Kutch Exchange Ltd. (305 ITR 227) , a judicial decision acts retrospectively. As Their Lordships observed in this case, judges do not make the law, they only discover or find the correct law and, therefore, a rectification of mistake in an order can also be carried out in the light of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment passed after the subject order is passed. The action of the CIT (Appeals) was thus correct and does not call for any interference.
The activities carried out by the foreign parties involved assembly, disassembly, inspection, reporting and evaluation. These are routine maintenance repairs and do not involve services of technical nature so as to be assessable as fees for technical services u/s 9(1)(vii). Routine repairs do not constitute ‘FTS’ as they are merely repair works and not technical services. Technical repairs are different from ‘technical services’ (Lufthansa Cargo 274 ITR (AT) 20 (Del) followed.
It is not in dispute that amount of Rs. 1,95,26,116/- was spent for participating in Hannover Fair held in Germany and for such participation, Steering Committee under the chairmanship of Commerce Secretary was constituted and modalities of participation was decided by the Organizing Committee under the Chairmanship of Additional Secretary, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, and as stated, the entire control was with the Ministry.
Once it is borne out from the record that the assessee had borrowed certain funds on which liability to pay tax is being incurred and on the other hand, certain amounts had been advanced to sister concerns or others without carrying any interest and without any business purpose, the interest to the extent the advance had been made without carrying any interest is to be disallowed under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act.
The programme of professional education imparted by the assessee Institute in India is not in the nature of coaching or tuition. The Institute at London is an Institute established by a Royal Charter and recognized world-wide as the nodal agency of design, improving and controlling the profession of ship-broking. Ship-broking is recognised world over as the only profession engaged in dealing with all aspects of shipping industry.
Section 54EC provides for exemption from tax on long-term capital gain when the capital gain arises from the transfer of long-term capital asset and the whole or any part of the said capital gain is invested in certain bonds within the period of 6 months. Section 54EC speaks of the actual capital gain which arises out of transfer of long-term capital asset and not deeming amount. Whereas section 50C provides for deeming fiction where value of consideration is adopted as per the stamp valuation authorities or any authority of the State Government. Even if the property has been sold at a lesser price but under the deeming fiction of section 50C, the value adopted by the stamp valuation authorities is to be taken as sale consideration.
Whether where assessee invested sale proceeds of tenancy rights in specified bonds, he was entitled to deduction under section 54EC even though his wife and daughters were co-holders of said bonds? Exemption Under Section 54F if Assessee claims two units as one he has to furnish Approved Municipal Plan.
A liberal view ought to be taken in terms of delay of few days. However, when there is inordinate delay, one should be very cautious while condoning the delay. The delay of 2491 days cannot be condoned simply because the assessee’s case is hard and calls for sympathy or merely out of benevolence to the party seeking relief.
On the contrary, the ld. representative for the assessee submitted that the definition of “manufacture” was introduced by Finance Act, 2009. The assessment years under consideration are 2006-07 and 2007-08, therefore, the definition introduced by Finance Act, 2009 is not applicable to the facts of the case. For the earlier assessment year, this Tribunal had an occasion to consider the very claim of the assessee and this Tribunal found that the activity of the assessee is manufacture and entitled for deduction u/s 80IB of the Act.
The assessee is a club and all its activities are restricted to among its members and, therefore, ‘principle of mutuality’ applies in the instant case. It has been clarified by the Board vide its Circular No. 11 of 2008, dated 19-12-2008 that in such cases where principle of mutuality are applicable, registration cannot be cancelled simply by relying on the first proviso to section 2(15). No where it has been brought on the record that the activities of the assessee are not governed by ‘principles of mutuality’ or it has been dealing with non-members. Thus, from this aspect also first proviso does not apply to the instant case. In view of the above, the cancellation of registration under section 12AA(3) was not tenable.
