Since no provision is made in the Act or the Rules for claiming refund of excess TDS deducted with respect to remittance to the foreign company, CBDT issued its circular No. 769, dated 6-8-1998 and made provision for granting such refund to the Indian assessee deductee under the following circumstances:
On a plain reading of the statutory provisions of section 54, it is clear that an agreement for sale or an agreement to sell itself does not create any interest or charge in such property.

On going through the remaining object of the trust, read with the provisions of sections 2(15), 12A, 12AA of the Income Tax Act, and the case laws cited by the AR, we find that there has been compliance to section 12A as required under the provisions, so far as provisions of section 2(15) are concerned, we find that the amendment talks about preservation of environment.
The discrepancies brought on record have culminated into rejection of the books result could not wash away the fact finding insofar as the assessee continues to be a local authority which it was prior to Assessment Year 2003- 04.

Confirmation of demand under a category different than one proposed in the Show Cause Notice cannot be upheld. The Tribunal had, for the above proposition, relied up the earlier decision of the Tribunal in the case of Mahakoshal Beverages (P.) Ltd. v. CCE [2009] 18 STT 383 (Bang. – CESTAT).
It is an admitted fact on record that the appellant received the Order-in-Original on 30th December, 2009 and filed appeal before learned Commissioner (Appeals) on 2.1.2012.
