We have considered the rival submissions of the parties and perused the relevant material available on record. It is undisputed fact that the department allowed the similar amortization of BOT Project expenditure in the earlier assessment year under scrutiny assessment under section 143(3) of the Act.
f any new asset acquired and installed (emphasis ours) by the assessee is sold or otherwise transferred, except in connection with the amalgamation or demerger, within a period of five years from the date of its installation, the amount of deduction allowed under sub-section (1
Merely because, there was no separate lease agreement with various parties, is not decisive of the issue. The vehicles were given to various parties on per trip basis, and therefore, separate agreement for carting income for each trip with various parties is not practicable to be executed and produced before the Revenue authorities.
Banks undertaking equipment leasing departmentally should follow prudential accounting system and only the interest charge component should be recognised as income and the recovery of cost of asset should be carried to balance sheet on the form of provision of depreciation.
Client acquisition cost paid by the assessee is towards acquiring an intangible asset and therefore eligible for depreciation u/s 32(1)(ii) of the Act.
It is an undisputed fact that the income from lease has been considered by Assessee as income. It is also an undisputed fact that the AO has considered the lease entered by the Assessee to be a Finance lease to arrive at the conclusion that the assessee is not entitled to depreciation.
In the grounds of appeal before the CIT(A) at ground No. 3 the assessee himself has submitted that the learned AO should have appreciated that during the previous year relevant to the AY 2008-09 the amount of Rs. 60 lakhs paid by the assessee company for deduction of Rs. 15 lakhs in question qualifies for inclusion under the head ‘intangible asset’ as provided u/s 32(1)(ii) and is entitled to a depreciation @ 25% on intangible assets. Hence, we direct the AO to allow depreciation on goodwill at 25% on the intangible assets and with respect to furniture and fittings depreciation to be allowed at 10% since they fall under block of assets as furniture and fittings. The assessee is directed to give bifurcation of good will and furniture and fittings.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Mahendra Mills (supra) has laid down that the assessee is entitled to exercise his option even through the filing of revised return and that option cannot be denied to him nor can depreciation be thrust on the assessee against his willingness.
The learned CIT(A) on proper examination of evidences and material rightly came to the conclusion that software is intangible asset and was loaded in the system of machine. The learned CIT(A) also rightly held that installation of software could be checked by the technical person whether it was loaded in the system or not. Therefore, the finding in the survey cannot be relied upon. Even the AO has accepted the fact that some of the software were developed locally and installed in the system.
The Senior Counsel argued at length, whether such non compete right constitute is a right in rem or otherwise, is a matter to be decided by an appropriate higher judicial forum. In the instant proceedings, we cannot import the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Smifs (supra), wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court held that goodwill was an intangible asset and eligible for depreciation.
