2015 (2) TMI 19 - HC - Income TaxLiability for FBT - Payment of uniform allowance etc. to the employees - Held that:- The facts which emerges from the record is that the respondent is a Government undertaking, operating all over India, and there is nothing on record that this issue had arisen in any State other then the State of Gujarat. In that view of the matter, it is required to be looked very seriously inasmuch as the benefits which are conferred to the other employees of the respondent-company throughout the country are accepted by the Revenue as benefit deductible and has not been considered as part of salary. Since assessee was governed FBT provision and the applicability of provision for salary will not apply and contention raised by assessee is rightly accepted by the Tribunal. We have gone through the provisions of section 12H and benefits which are conferred under section 115WB(2)(E) of the Income Tax Act. While reading clause(E), the provisions of section 17(2)(vi) whether the payment made under FBT is excluded or not, in our view, it is excluded. Decided in favour of assessee.
