    It is not necessary for the assessee to engage in taking accommodate entry to the value of ₹ 40 lakhs in order to reduce the eligible profit.

  7. ITAT Rajkot · 17 Mar 2020
    A perusal of the questionnaires issued and replies made by the assessee thereon clearly show that no relevant or meaningful inquiry was conducted in respect of source of cash to meet the losses incurred on transactions with M/s. Labdhi Finance Corporation. A bare look at the assessment order gives an infallible impression that the assessment order was passed in a routine and perfunctory manner without any discussion on any aspect of the assessment for which the case was reopened.

    SHRI HEMENDRA K. PARMAR VERSUS PR. COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX RAJKOT – 2, RAJKOT

    First proviso to section 12A(2) was brought in the statute only as a retrospective effect with a view not to affect genuine charitable trusts and societies carrying on genuine charitable objects in the earlier years and substantive conditions stipulated in section 11 to 13 have been duly fulfilled by the said trust. The benefit of retrospective application alone could be the intention of the legislature and this point is further strengthened by the Explanatory Notes to Finance (No.2) Act, 2014 issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes vide its Circular No. 01/2015 dated 21.1.2015.

  9. ITAT Kolkata · 17 Mar 2020
    AO has examined the issue of deduction claimed u/s 80IA for the power unit of the company. AO had examined the documents and explanations submitted before him. Thereafter the AO had taken one of the plausible view of netting up of interest expenses with interest income in view of the Supreme Court judgment in the case of ACG Associated Capsules (P) Ltd. Therefore, under these circumstances it cannot be said that the order of the AO is erroneous.

    We find from the pages 3 to 24 of the paper book, which is a copy of the trust deed of the assessee trust, that it’s objects have been bifurcated in the nature of the education, relief to poors, medical relief, and object of general public utility. We are agreed with the finding of the Learned CIT(E) that above object cannot be called as charitable in nature.

    AO has not disputed the fact that soil leveling and other civil works carried out by the assessee is not required for installation of solar power panels. Therefore, the expenditure which is incurred by the assessee in the process of installation of solar panels is for the purpose of solar power plant. Thus the cost of said work cannot be separated from the installation of solar power plant and entire cost of solar power plant is eligible for depreciation as applicable for plant and machinery.

  12. ITAT Jaipur · 17 Mar 2020
    Following the Coordinate Bench decision in assessee’s own case for earlier years and considering the principle of consistency, we see no reason to deviate from the earlier decision and accordingly, for the purposes of section 80P(2)(d) of the Act, Jaipur Central Cooperative Bank Ltd shall be treated as a cooperative society. Therefore, interest on FDRs placed by the assessee society with such cooperative society shall be eligible for deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) of the Act and such claim cannot be denied by virtue of provisions of Section 80P(4) of the Act.

  13. Madras High Court · 16 Mar 2020
    It is well settled that if it is a charge for service rendered by the commercial agency and the amount of fee levied is based on the expenses incurred by the Government rendering the fee. Unlike the tax which is compulsory extraction of money, enforceable by law and not in return of any services rendered. The distinction between the tax and the fee is that tax is levied as a part of common burden while fee is payment for a special benefit of privilege. Fee confers some advantage and is a return of consideration for services rendered.

  15. Bombay High Court · 16 Mar 2020
    Prior to issuance of the impugned notices dated December 20, 2017, petitioners were subjected to proceedings under the Act though the income tax proceedings were concluded on December 30, 2017 to the effect that issue relating to escaped income was left to be decided by the authorities under the Black Money Act. It is also evident that income tax proceedings pertaining to the petitioners were reopened following receipt of information in respect of undisclosed asset by the competent authority in terms of agreements entered into by the Central Government under Section 90 or Section 90A of the Act.

    ANILA RASIKLAL MEHTA AND OTHERS VERSUS THE UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 22243 (HC-BOMBAY) · https://taxcorp.in/FileOpenDT.aspx?ID=82649&Category=Judgment&CategoryType=Zip

  16. ITAT Indore · 16 Mar 2020
    We are unable to accept this contention of the assessee in view of the finding of fact recorded by the ld. CIT(A) that the facts and circumstances for the assessment year 2007-08 were entirely different from the facts and circumstances of the year under appeal. Hence, the profit adopted for that year cannot mechanically be adopted for the year under appeal as this Tribunal has already considered the facts on record and expressed its view.

  18. ITAT Mumbai · 16 Mar 2020
    Once there is a categorical finding in this regard, the invocation of Explanation 3 to section 43(1) fails. Accordingly we hold that that the disallowance of depreciation by invocation of Explanation 3 to section 43(1) in this regard fails on account of lack of jurisdiction.

    M/S PIK STUDIOS P. LTD. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS PIK PENS P. LTD. VERSUS DY. COMMISSIONER OF INCOMETAX-8 (2) /INCOME-TAX OFFICER-8 (2) MUMBAI.

  19. Delhi High Court · 14 Mar 2020
    S. 220(6) Recovery of demand: A Petitioner invoking the discretionary extraordinary writ jurisdiction of the Court is expected to approach with clean hands. Instead, there is gross suppression and misstatement, which led to a false projection of the outstanding liability due from the petitioner. Also, the Petitioner ought not to have sought adjournment before the CIT(A) on the ground that the earlier year is pending without seeking modification of the Court's order. Writ Petition dismissed with costs of Rs. 5 lakh. (Note: The Supreme Court has stayed recovery of the demand)
