Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax, [2009 (5) TMI 16 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA] wherein held that the assessee was engaged in the business of manufacture of valve actuators, which were sophisticated goods. The statistical data indicated that every year some of these were found defective. The valve actuator, being a sophisticated item, no customer was prepared to buy it without a warranty. Therefore, the warranty became an integral part of the sale price. In other words, the warranty stood attached to the sale price of the product. It was held that warranty provisions had to be recognized because the assessee therein had a present obligation as a result of past events resulting in an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate could be made of the amount of the obligation. Therefore, the assessee therein had incurred a liability during the assessment year which was entitled to deduction u/s.37 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Learned counsel appearing for the Revenue was not in a position to dispute the above proposition of law.- decided in favour of the assessee.
