Can the advance tax be adjusted towards capital gains tax - Held, yes ... ... ... ... ..... oceed on the footing that the tax levied on capital gains is a kind of tax totally different from income-tax. That assumption is entirely incorrect. Mr. Ranganatha Sastri argues that, if for purposes of payment of advance tax capital gains are not taken into account as directed by section 18A(12), it should be taken that the advance tax is meant for appropriation towards income-tax levied on total income exclusive of capital gains. We do not think that this result follows. All that is implied by section 18A(12) is that because capital gains are not a recurring income, so they are not to be taken into account in assessing the advance tax to be paid. That is in the nature of a concession and from it the proposition cannot be evolved and it does not follow that the tax on capital gains is anything other than income-tax. The Income-tax Officer was, therefore, well within his right in adjusting the advance tax as he did. The petition is dismissed with costs. Counsel s fee, Rs. 250

Firm - application for registration ... ... ... ... ..... nor was made a full-fledged partner, and he was also made liable for proportionate loss of the partnership business vide the decision of the Supreme Court in Commissioner of Income-tax v. Dwarkadas Khetan. A valid partnership was constituted only by the execution of the deed of clarification on March 26, 1963. Therefore, there was no question of renewal of registration. It was open for the assessee to apply for the registration of the firm for the year 1963-64. Admittedly, it has not made any-such application. All that it did was to file a declaration under section 184(7) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, as if there was a firm which was registered for the previous assessment year. In the result, we answer the question in this reference in the negative and against the assessee. The parties will bear their own costs. A copy of this judgment will be forwarded to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal as required by section 260(1) of the Income-tax Act. Question answered in the negative.

Gift-tax Act, 1958 - gift of the properties - assessment - status - association of persons ... ... ... ... ..... executes a deed of gift in respect of the property of each one of them, there would be no tax but if all of them join in executing one deed of gift in respect of the same properties,, they would be liable to tax. The number of documents by which the gift was effected cannot, in our view, have any relevancy to the incidence of taxation under the Act. We are unable to hold that the legislature ever intended any such illegal consequence. In our opinion, the provisions of the Gift-tax Act do not yield to such a construction. We, therefore, hold that the assessment of the applicant and her sister as an association of individuals was not warranted under law. In the result, we decline to answer questions Nos. 1 and 2 and we answer question No. 3 in the negative, and that is against the Commissioner of Gift-tax. The parties will bear their own costs. A copy of this judgment will be forwarded to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal as required by section 26(6) of the Gift-tax Act, 1958.
