2009 (5) TMI 28 - SC - Income TaxSection 43B - Furnishing of bank guarantee cannot be equated with actual payment which requires that money must flow from the assessee to the public exchequer as required under Section 43B. By no stretch of imagination it can be said that furnishing of bank guarantee is actual payment of tax or duty in cash – further - the expression now used in Section 43B (i)(a) is “Tax, Duty, Cess or fee or by whatever name called”. It denotes that items enumerated constitute species of the same genus and the expression ‘by whatever name called’ which follows preceding words ‘Tax’, ‘Duty’, ‘Cess’ or ‘fee’ has been used ejusdem generis to confine the application of the provisions not on the basis of mere nomenclatures, but notwithstanding name, they must fall within the genus ‘taxation’ to which expression ‘Tax’, ‘Duty’, ‘Cess’ or ‘Fee’ as a. group of its specie belong vis. - bottling fees chargeable from the assessee under the Rules framed under the Rajasthan Excise Act, 1950 and interest chargeable on late payment of bottling fees not covered by provisions of section 43B.
