Merely because income is attached to any immovable property cannot be the sole factor for assessment of such income as income from property. What has to be seen is what was the primary object of the assessee while exploiting the property.

What is relevant is whether the unit in question is engaged in the production or manufacture of specified articles or things in its own right. It is not in dispute that the units in question in the assessee-company are engaged in the production of capsules and has also produced the capsules in the year under appeal. The assessee has been denied deduction on the sole ground that all the units are also producing capsules and are therefore part of the same undertaking.
11. Keeping in view the nature of the transaction between the Assessee and the so called Developer, coupled with the transfer and the possession of the immovable properties, we find that the transaction amounts to conveyance in favour of the purchaser of the properties and the transfer was completed on the date when the purchases were executed and possession was handed over.
ACIT vs. M/s Triace (ITAT Mumbai) – Where the CIT (A) decided the ground of reopening against the assessee but decided the ground of merits in favour of the assessee, the assessee is entitled, in an appeal by the Revenue before the Tribunal, to urge, under Rule 27 of the I. T. Rules, that the CIT (A) was wrong in deciding the ground of reopening against the assessee.
Amway India vs. DCIT (ITAT Delhi Special Bench) – The question whether expenditure is on capital or revenue account should be decided from the practical and business view point and in accordance with sound accountancy principles.

ITO vs. Ellora Silk Mills (ITAT Mumbai) – Where the AO had accepted in the past that the warehousing charges received by the assessee was business income, he was not justified in reopening the assessment to assess the charges as property income in the absense of any change in the facts and circumstances.
Rupee Finance vs. ACIT (ITAT Mumbai) The contention of the assessee that the sales of shares by certain companies are not transfers as they are part of a family arrangement cannot be accepted as the company’s assets are different from the family assets. It is a distinct juristic entity and its assets cannot be mixed up with the assets of a shareholder. The corporate veil cannot be lifted and it cannot be assumed that the assets of the controlled companies are the assets of the family members; The mere fact that the transferor has received less than the market value of the asset does not mean that he can be assessed on the basis of the FMV In the absense of evidence to show that he has received more than the stated consideration.
WITH India getting rapidly integrated to the global economy, making payments either for services or reibursement to a non-resident company or individual has become common for the India Inc. But what has not become common is the practice of deducting tax at source (TDS) under Sec 195. And this case is illustrated best in the latest decision of the ITAT which has held that it is obligatory for the payer to a non-resident company to deduct TDS u/s 195 without going into any other aspect with regard to nature and taxability of the payment and rejected assessee i.e. payer’s contention that reimbursements made by it were not in the nature of income in the hands of payee. As to the consequences of such non-deduction of TDS, it held that provisions of Sec 40(a)(i) are attracted as per which, any claim of such amount will not be allowed as deduction during computation of income of payer and can be claimed only on deduction and deposition of such tax which though is subject to subsequent assessment by the A.O.
THE Assessing Officer during the course of assessment proceedings observed that the assessee has claimed share trading loss of Rs.7,91,263/ -. From the various bills furnished by the assessee including the brokers notes, the Assessing Officer observed that the assessee has not taken physical delivery of shares purchased but only paid margin money. Since actual delivery of shares were not taken by the assessee the Assessing Officer treated the transactions as speculative transactions within the meaning of provisions of section 43(5) and treated the loss claimed by the assessee as speculative loss and allowed to be carried forward as per law.
