2020 (9) TMI 418 - HC - Income TaxComputation of book profit u/s 115JB - AO treated the interest income as income from other sources thereby denying the deduction under Section 80 IA - whether the assessing officer was right in coming to the conclusion that the accounts of the assessee were not prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956 ? - HELD THAT:- Referring to decisions to emphasis the importance of following the accounting standards as prescribed under the 1956 Act, as already held by us, we find no question of law or substantial question of law arising on the said issue. Additions were made under the normal provisions of the Act as well as under Section 115 JB, which the assessee prayed for deletion and submitted that since it has received and admitted, the impugned receipts for the subsequent year, the additions made under the normal provisions of the Act, as well as under Section 115 JB may be deleted and the rate of tax remains the same in all these years under Section 115 JB. In fact, the ground raised by the assessee was to delete the impugned additions on the ground that the receipts have been subjected to the tax in the subsequent year whatever the assessee had received from TANGEDCO. The Tribunal did not agree with the assessee and sustained the addition, if such is the factual position, the natural consequences that is to flow is to issue a direction to the assessing officer to take appropriate action in so far as the assessments from the year 2010-2011 to 2014-2015, during which the assessee has been taxed on the said receipts. If such a consequential direction is not issued, then, the assessee would be subjected to double taxation which is unauthorised in Law. This issue can clearly be brought within the scope of Sub-Section (4) of 260 A and the Court would be justified in issuing appropriate direction to the assessing officer to reopen the assessments from the year 2010-2011 to 2014 -2015 on this issue alone and examine whether the assessee has paid taxes on these receipts, which addition have been sustained in the impugned assessment year 2009-2010 and after affording an opportunity to the assessee redo the assessment only on this aspect. Appeals are dismissed as no substantial question of law arises for consideration.
