ITAT Mumbai held that the Employee Stock Option Plans [ESOP] expenses should not be regarded contingent or notional and it should be allowed as deduction u/s 37(1) of the Income Tax Act.
ITAT Mumbai held that disallowance of entire expenses alleging that assessee has not started its business activity till date not justified since non-generation of income after setting up of business cannot be a ground to disallow expenses.
The assessing authority, therefore, disallowed the deduction claimed by the appellant towards the purchase of paddy from the said persons and added this to the income declared by the appellant.
AO on perusal of the details submitted by the assessee observed that the assessee could not prove the bad debts written off in its books of accounts are, in fact bad debts and irrecoverable with relevant evidences.
The assessee is a souharda cooperative society duly registered under the Karnataka Souharda Sahakari Act, 1997 and is engaged mainly in the business of accepting deposits from members and lending credit facilities to its member.
ITAT Surat held that employee’s contribution towards PF and ESI cannot be allowed if it is deposited after the due dates under those Acts but before filing of return. Accordingly, disallowance u/s. 36(1)(va) confirmed and appeal dismissed.
As a result, assessee was required to deduct TDS on payments made to Bemo. AO invoked Section 40(a)(i) for non-deduction of tax on Rs. 12,69,79,006, disallowing the deduction.
ITAT Delhi held that grant-in-aid incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of business is allowable as deduction. Accordingly, appeal is allowed and addition of the same by AO is liable to be deleted.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that reopening of assessment u/s. 147 on the issue which is already dealt in the original assessment void ab initio and bad in law since no new fresh material was pointed out at the time of reopening of assessment.
Present appeal has been filed by the appellant mainly contesting that whether the Tribunal was right in holding that there has been no diversion of income by overriding charge in respect of amount transferred to Statutory Reserve Fund in compliance with the mandatory provisions of Sec.45IC read with Sec. 45Q of RBI Act.
