... ... ..... hich has been filed on 04.03.2011. The ITAT in assessee’s own case in ITA Nos.-2130/Del/2009 and 2131/Del/2009 has observed that the assessee is in process to take suitable steps in the matter with the CBDT for condonation of the delay and matter was restored to Assessing Officer to re-examine and decide afresh. Now, the assessee has already filed the application for condonation of delay u/s 119(2) of the Income-tax Act on 04.03.2011. In the interest of justice and equity, we are inclined to agree with the prayer of the learned AR to restore the issue to the file of the Assessing Officer to be decided afresh.” 7. The facts and circumstances of the present case are same as in earlier year. Therefore, following the above Tribunal’s order, we deem it fit to remit the case to the office of AO for fresh adjudication. In view of the above, the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. The order is pronounced in the open court on 24.01.2013.

... ... ..... this sum from the company, M/s Medimark Consultants (India) Pvt. Ltd. where the assessee was a Director, as loan during the year. We find that on the above facts, the CIT(A)’s order has been passed after following the decision of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in the case of CIT vs Baroda Tin Works(supra) and the order of the ITAT, Mumbai, ‘E' Bench, in the case of Sunilchandra Vohra vs ACIT, in I.T.A.No. 4963/Mumbai/2006. The CIT/DR could not point out as to why the aforesaid decisions of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court and the Tribunal are not applicable in the instant case. No specific error in the order of the CIT(A) could be pointed out by the CIT/DR. We, therefore, do not find any good and justifiable reason to interfere with the order of the CIT(A) which is confirmed and the grounds of appeal of the Revenue are dismissed. 8. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced on Thursday, the 31st of January, 2013, at Chennai.

... ... ..... ered the rival submissions and are of the view that simply because the assessee was a working partner in M/s Anand Transport Company, it cannot be held that income earned by partnership firm M/s Anand Transport Company belonged to the assessee. No other material or evidence has been brought on record by the Assessing Officer for treating the income earned by firm as income of assessee in his individual capacity. Without bringing sufficient evidence on record, no addition could be made in the hands of the assessee on substantive basis. As the CIT(A) has confirmed the addition on substantive basis in the hands of partnership firm M/s Anand Transport Company, we, therefore, confirm the order of the learned CIT(A) and accordingly dismiss this common ground of appeal for all the assessment years involved. 48. Finally, the appeals of the assessee are allowed in part, in terms indicated hereinabove whereas appeals of the Revenue are dismissed. This order was pronounced on 31.1.2013.

... ... ..... he orders and heard the submissions. The Tribunal had, for assessment year 2006-07, confirmed the view taken by the ld. CIT(Appeals) that the payments effected by the assessee to M/s Abaqus Inc., were not royalty. Finding of the Tribunal was that what was acquired by the assessee was only a right of use a copyrighted software and not copyright in a software. In the assessment order itself, the A.O. has mentioned that the disallowance was being made despite Tribunal’s ruling in favour of the assessee for keeping alive the issue. However, learned D.R. was unable to show any order of any higher authorities which would make the Tribunal order for assessment year 2006-07 inoperative. We, therefore, find no error in the order of CIT(Appeals) applying the Tribunal order for assessment year 2006-07 and ruling in favour of assessee. 5. In the result, appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed. The order was pronounced in the Court on Tuesday, the 22nd of January, 2013, at Chennai.

From the above decision of the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court it is very clear that sec. 234D is applicable from the date it came into the statute book, i.e. from 01-06-2003 and therefore the assessee is liable to pay the interest from the date on which the amended provision of law came into operation. In view of the decision of the Hon’ble High Court we reverse the finding of the CIT(Appeals) and allow the ground raised by the Revenue. 11. In the result, the Revenue’s appeals in ITA Nos. 992, 994 and 995/Mds/2012 are dismissed and the appeal in ITA No. 993/Mds/2012 is partly allowed.

The first appellate authority applied the decision of the tribunal and deleted the addition. We see no infirmity in the same. In fact, ground 1B of the revenue appeals states that the ground is taken because the department has not accepted the decision of the Tribunal. In view of the above discussion, we respectfully apply the decision of the coordinate bench of the Tribunal in the assessee’s own case for earlier years and dismiss the ground taken by the revenue. In view of the same, ground of appeal No.1 is rejected.” 5. As no distinguishing facts have been brought on record by the Ld. Departmental Representative, we have no hesitation in following the decision of the Tribunal (supra). Accordingly, the revenue’s appeal is dismissed. 6.

In this appeal as well, the assessee is one of the Directors/shareholder of M/s.Shree Velu Builders Private Ltd. Referring to the grounds raised in the appeal, both learned representatives are in unison that our findings in ITA No.1300/Mds./12 also cover the instant case as well.

... ... ..... the merits of the case.” 5 It is clear that the assessee has accepted that there was a mistake in the details and the quantitative figures of stock as given in the Schedule 17. Therefore, on principle we do not find any error or illegality in the impugned revision order passed by the CIT. However, since it was stated to be a mistake by applying wrong conversion factor by the assessee which has resulted the discrepancy in the quantitative stock of purchase; therefore, this aspect requires examination of the facts. The relevant record is not available before us and both the parties agreed that this issue may be examined by the Assessing Officer. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, we direct the Assessing Officer to verify and examine this aspect after considering the relevant records and submissions of the assessee. 6 In the result, the appeal file by the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.

... ... ..... 5% could not be said to be excessive, considering the prevailing rate of interest during the relevant assessment year 2007-2008. Once it is found that the rate of interest paid to two coparceners at 15% is not excessive, no disallowance could be made by invoking the provisions of Section 40A(2)(b) of the Act. The loans raised from two coparceners could be safely relied upon by the assessee-HUF as the coparceners may not demand the amount of loan back in the near future and the level of confidentiality is obviously more with regard to these coparceners. In view of the fact that the interest paid to coparceners at the rate of 15% could not be said to be excessive, we hold that the provision of Section 40A(2)(b) was wrongly invoked in this case. Accordingly, the addition of ₹ 42,112/- is deleted and the ground of the appeal of the assessee is allowed. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order pronounced in Open Court on the date mentioned hereinabove.

Therefore, under these facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the considered view that the learned CIT(A)’s orders in all these appeals are not at all infirm in any way requiring interference and hence, we uphold the same by finding the issues raised by the Department as devoid of merit and as such, we dismiss the appeals of the Revenue in respect of both the assessees. 10. Now coming to the Cross objections filed by the assessees, it is seen that the assessees have supported the orders of the learned CIT(A). In view of our finding in the appeals filed by the Revenue, the Cross objections filed by the assessee are disposed of accordingly. 11. In the result, the appeals of the Revenue are dismissed and the Cross objections of the assessees are disposed of accordingly.

... ... ..... ar as catena of the judgments submitted by the AR of the assessee, we notice that they only pertain to section 80IA(4)(i)(b) i.e. regarding the issue of contractor viz-a-vis developer. Hence, we do not deem it appropriate to decide on the said issue since the assessee does not fulfill the condition enumerated in the first part of the statutory provision. We make it clear that although the issue adjudicated by us has not been looked into by the Assessing Officer or CIT(A), but in the larger interest of the justice and in view of the fact that before availing deduction under section 80IA, all the necessary conditions have to be satisfied we have proceeded to examine the applicability of the deduction provision contained in section 80IA(4)(i) of the “Act”. 10. Consequently, in the light of our above discussion, the assessee’s appeal fails. Accordingly it is dismissed being devoid of any merits. Order pronounced on Tuesday, the 15th of January, 2013 at Chennai.

... ... ..... benefit of section 11 to the assessee- trust. Concomitantly, we do not find any violation by the trust of any provisions of section 11 and/or of section 13 of the Act. We, therefore, hold that the assessee is entitled to exemption as provided u/s 11 of the Act. Having held so, interest levied u/s 234A and 234B will also not survive. We, therefore, set aside the order of the ld. CIT(A) and allow the appeal of the assessee.” Since the facts of the case for the 2003-04 are identical to the facts for the Asst. Year 2005-06, respectfully following the decision of the co-ordinate Bench of this Tribunal (supra) in assessee’s own case for the Asst. Year 2005-06, we hold that the assessee is entitled to exemption under sec.11 of the I.T. Act for the Asst. Year 2003-04 also. Thus, the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) is confirmed. 5. In the result, the appeal of the Department is dismissed. 6.

Excise Duty written off - Deduction u/s 37 - AO noted that some amount was written off by debiting the P&L account pertaining to Excise Duty. According to govt scheme, assessee opted to avail a route of exemption of excise duty. AO was not convinced and said that the impugned deduction is allowable against the future expenses, thus assessee was not entitled to write off the such amount in the year under consideration. - HELD THAT :- It is evident that the assessee has opted for the exemption route without availing excise duty as per the scheme of govt., therefore, unutilized excise duty as availed on the inputs, was written off in the regular books of accounts fully satisfying the conditions as laid down in s 37. Also, assessee has already surrendered its license under the Excise Act and opted for the exemption route and hence, there is no question of setting off the said expenditure in future. Thus, claim is allowed.

Moreover, we find note that assessee has submitted some additional fresh evidence which the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (A) has rejected for admission. We further note that it was assessee’s submissions before the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (A) that Assessing Officer has provided very short time to comply with the requirements. Against this background, in our considered opinion, the matter should be remitted to the file of the Assessing Officer to consider the issue afresh in light of the additional evidences and submissions furnished by the assessee. We hold and direct accordingly. Needless to add that the assessee should be given adequate opportunity of being heard. 9. In the result, the revenue’s appeal as well as assessee’s appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 04/1/2013.

... ... ..... ome was earned on FDR, therefore, the AO treated the same as income from other sources. The CIT(A) has confirmed the same. 7. After considering the order of the AO and CIT(A), I found that this issue also needs reverification. It was pleaded by the learned AR of the assessee that the assessee had paid interest of ₹ 1.5 lakh and has earned only 1.20 lakhs, therefore, netting of both he interest has to be allowed which has not been considered by the learned AO or by the learned CIT(A). The AO also looked into the matter that there is no independent source of interest and learned AR’s contention that this should also go to the head of WIP. Looking to the above facts and circumstances of the case, I restore this issue to the file of the AO. 8. Ground No.5 was not pressed, therefore, the same is dismissed as not pressed. 9.
