Detention of vehicles - supply of hydraulic excavators for the purpose of sale within the State - HELD THAT:- There is no justification for the detention memo and show cause notice issued in respect of the aforesaid excavator and the same is quashed. The explanation set out in defence of the impugned order is that though the invoice undoubtedly contain the name of a registered dealer as recipient, the place of business set out does not tally with the place of business, as per the records of the Department - The Court, prima facie, appreciates the apprehension of the respondent in this regard as such a practice might well would lead to a situation where a registered dealer may lend his name for supply of material at various locations. Seeing as the matter is pending only at the stage of response to the show cause notice, it would be approp....... + More

Validity of Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - As per revenue petitioner failed to reply and respond to the proceedings initiated - as argued adequate opportunity to the petitioner to respond to the draft assessment orders not given - HELD THAT:- The petitioner has shown disregard to the statutory notices issued by the Income Tax Department. The fact that the petitioner has not responded earlier and has sought for further time after giving a partial reply shows that the petitioner has not been diligent in complying with the time line set out by the respondents to complete the assessment - no merits in interfering with the impugned orders merely because the petitioner gave a partial reply to the two show cause notices dated 24.03.2022 and 29.03.2022. Under these circumstances, we are inclined to dismiss these writ petitions. However, the petitioner is at liberty to file a statutory appeal before the Appellate Commissioner in the manner known to law. WP dismissed.

Determination of income - adopting the profit margin of 8% on the turnover - case of the assessee was selected for “cash deposits in savings bank account(s) more than the turnover” - HELD THAT:- As AO in the order passed u/s 143(3) after analyzing the submissions made by the assessee found that the assessee has a turnover and thereafter adopting the profit rate of 8% determined the total income of the assessee - We find the CIT (A) in her ex-parte order sustained the additions made by the AO since nothing was brought before her to take a contrary view than the view taken by the AO - It is the submission for the assessee that in the interest of justice, the assessee should be given an opportunity to explain his case before the CIT (A).

Disallowance being amount of State Value Added Tax (VAT) paid for earlier years - Deduction u/s 80IB claimed - HELD THAT:- It is seen as an admitted position that the assessee separately maintained books of account for 80IB(10) projects and non-80IB(10) projects. Corresponding Profit and loss accounts were also drawn accordingly. There is no dispute that the amount of VAT was paid by the assessee during the year under consideration which pertained to earlier years. In fact, the question as to whether the VAT was payable by Builders was sub judice at the material time. Assessee became liable to pay VAT for earlier years - The assessee had not claimed any deduction on account of VAT in the computation of income for earlier years. It was only during the year under consideration that the assessee claimed such deduction on paying the VAT amoun....... + More

Revision u/s 263 - revision of the assessee”s reassessment, proceedings for which were initiated in view of the discrepancies that came to the notice of AO in the assessee”s share trading transactions, found to be in order in assessment, was the claim for exemption u/s. 54EC - HELD THAT:- The matter in the instant case, as is apparent, is rather purely legal, so that there is no scope of any inquiry. As regards the different interpretation of s. 54EC by the ld. Pr. CIT, which is the basis of his order, we find no such limitation in the (first) proviso to sec. 54EC(1), which (limitation) rather stands introduced w.e.f. 01/04/2015, i.e., AY 2015-16 onwards, and which itself clarifies that no such limitation obtained prior thereto. Reference, with profit, in this context, be made to the decision in DIT vs. Mitsubishi Corporation ....... + More

Disallowance of expenditure considering it to be a capital expenditure -CIT-A deleted the addition HELD THAT:- When the matter was carried before the Ld. CIT(A) he noted that in A.Ys. 2009-10 to 2014- 15 the addition made by the A.O. has been deleted by his predecessor. He also noted that for those years the order of Ld. CIT(A) has been upheld by the Tribunal. Before us, no fallacy in the findings of the Ld. CIT(A) has been pointed-out by Revenue nor has Revenue placed on record any material to demonstrate that the order of Tribunal in assessee’s own case for earlier years has been set aside, overruled or modified by higher judicial forum. We, therefore, find no reason to interfere with the order of the Ld. CIT(A) and thus dismiss the grounds of the Revenue.

Deduction u/s 80IB - whether freight charges recovered from the customers are eligible for deduction under section 80IB ? - HELD THAT:- As Assessee submitted before us the invoices of various parties containing GST number and CST number, on the invoices, in respect of transportation charges, (freight charges received from purchaser). The assessee submitted Form No.10CCB from a Chartered Accountant, balance sheet and profit and loss account - The fresh charges received from purchaser have been shown under the head “income from other sources”. The assessee also submitted the letter which was submitted before Assessing Officer, showing the details of freight income - The assessee also submitted the details of freight income - Therefore, these facts clearly prove that assessee’s claim is genuine and assessee deserves for ded....... + More

Disallowance of legal and professional charges - HELD THAT:- Assessee was unable to furnish any supporting evidence to demonstrate that the amount was actually incurred for the purpose of business. Thus, in absence of any supporting evidence, disallowance, in our view, is justified Expenditure being payment made to contractor for building, designing and interior, while, assessee has claimed it as revenue expenditure, the departmental authorities have treated it as capital expenditure - HELD THAT:- From the description of the expenditure as per the material available on record, it appears to be expenditure incurred for creating an asset. No contrary material has been brought on record by assessee to demonstrate that by incurring the expenditure, assessee has not derived any enduring benefit. That being the factual position, we cannot accep....... + More
