The case of the assessee is that the assessee being an actor-model rendered modelling services for marketing the products of the assessee-payer of the fee. The services since not rendered for production of cinematographic film, the impugned payments are outside the scope of section 194J of the Act. Taking analogy that the “stunt actor” is not an actor, the modelling actor is also not an actor. The definitions and notifications ought not to be extended to cover the modelling services of this kind. These modelling services are not notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes for the reasons better known to them. Therefore, the fee received directly by the Matrix India-a front company, on behalf of the Ms. Katrina Kaif, who modelled for marketing of the camera-products of the assessee-Kodak, does not constitutes professional services as the said modelling/acting is not done in relation to production of cinematographic film and she is not an actor for this purpose of section 194J of the Act.

The petitioner trust, in this case, is also being deprived of a sum of Rs. 8,93,773 for which it cannot be blamed at all : it had no liability whatsoever to pay this amount to the Revenue. Yet, the Revenue has refused to refund the same by taking some hypertechnical view of the matter. If the petitioner-trust is being deprived of a sum of Rs. 8,93,773 which legitimately belongs to it due to perverse view taken by the Revenue, is it still rational to say that no genuine hardship is being caused to it ?

In a case where assessee voluntarily deducted tax and claimed refund directly, grant of interest under section 244A may not arise and the Board Circulars on this issue are applicable, whereas in a case where AO demand the tax / interest consequent to an order under section 195/201 or 201A, and the refund arose consequent to the orders of the CIT (A)/ITAT, then interest under section 244A has to be granted. In the present case, the assessee has been found entitled to refund in accordance with the provisions of the Act and section 244A provides for payment of interest on the amount of refund which becomes due to assessee under the Act. We have no doubt in our mind to hold that the assessee is entitled to interest u/s 244A.
