Human probability/tendency of non-cooperation by parties after business transaction is over, is required to be considered while deciding bona fide aspect of assessee in penalty matter under section 271(1)(c)

February 25, 2011 927 Views 0 comment Print

When transactions with a particular party are over that party may not be ready to co-operate in giving information which are exactly asked by the Assessing Officer from the assessee, under these circumstances, the revenue authorities have ample powers under the Act to issue summons to the party and if they are not exercising such powers, the assessee cannot be blamed for concealing particulars and or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income.

Exemption to Trust U/s. 11 of Income Tax Act can not be denied if Payment made to concerns covered U/s. 13(3) not excessive

DDIT(E)-II Vs. M/s. Rock Church Ministries (ITAT Hyderabad ) The purpose of section 13(1)(c) is to deprive a religious or charitable trust from exemption if it is found that its income is used or applied, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the specified persons. Section 13(1)(c) carves out a general exception wherein the provisions of sections 11 and 12 will not operate on account of user or application of any income of the trust for any direct or indirect benefit of the any specified persons. It is an undisputed fact that the rent paid of Rs. 9,500 is not excessive even as per the old provisions of municipal. The assessee paid the rent as per the old municipal taxes. The present rental value would be much more than the rent paid by the assessee for the property having a building of 4000 sq. Ft. on a land admeasuring 15,000 sq. ft. that too in a prime locality in the city of Hyderabad. The market rent i.e., Rs. 80,000 per month as estimated by the Government Valuer is much more to the rent paid by the assessee. The Assessing Officer could not establish that the rent paid by the assessee is excessive and the rental value estimated by the Government valuer is incorrect. The contention of the Revenue that there is variation in the name in the municipal records and I.T. records is also baseless as the name in the municipal records is in abbreviated form.

Denial of deduction u/s. 80P(2)(a)(i) of I-T Act, 1961

February 23, 2011 4695 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee is, admittedly, neither a `primary agricultural credit society’ nor a `primary cooperative agricultural and rural development bank’. As such, it is not covered by the exceptions to s. 80P(4), as provided by the said sub-section itself, denying deduction u/s. 80P to all cooperative banks. The Legislature in its wisdom restricted the exemption, which extends to the whole of the specified incomes, i.e., of cooperatives societies undertaking specified activities, w.e.f. 1/4/2007 to the said two primary units, where the assessee is a cooperative bank. The assessee in the instant case being an apex cooperative society lending money to such primary units functioning within the State of Kerala, he denied the assessee its claim for deduction u/s. 80P (2)(a)(i).

Chemical treatment of effluent water amounts to sale of goods in execution of works contract

February 21, 2011 1910 Views 0 comment Print

We would think that the moment the assessee pours the chemicals into the effluent, he will cease to be the owner and at that point of time the awarder must be deemed to have taken delivery of the same. In our view the fact that upon it being poured into the effluent, it loses its identity and that it is consumed will not detract from the fact that there is delivery of the same to the awarder. The assessee does not have a case that the effluent belongs to the assessee.

February 21, 2011 3499 Views 0 comment Print

The second contention of the appellants is that the law of pleadings and the provisions of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, apply to the proceedings before the CLB. Therefore, the CLB ought not to have taken note of the new pleadings made by the impleaded parties and ought not to have accepted the pleadings made without any evidence.
