Block Assessment in search case ... ... ... ... ..... xtent, income not chargeable to tax, tax should not be charged on that part of income. The SLP filed by the assessee was dismissed by Hon ble Supreme Court, 266 ITR (St.) 104-105 (SC). 13. From above discussion, it is clear that income above chargeable limit in respect of which no tax has been paid by way of advance tax or TDS, will be liable to tax as undisclosed income for the block period under section 158BB. The Assessing Officer as well as ld. CIT (Appeals) have not carried out this exercise. Accordingly, we restore this issue to the file of Assessing Officer who will determine the income for assessment year 2000-01 as per law and the total income over and above the exemption limit as also covered by tax paid, determined after considering the rebate/deduction applicable to the assessee, if any, will be treated as undisclosed income for the block period. We direct the Assessing Officer accordingly. 14. In the result, appeal by assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.

2006 (12) TMI 138 - SC ORDER
Capital Or Revenue Expenditure - whether the proportionate lease rent paid by the mining lessee for acquiring leasehold right for extracting minerals from mineral bearing land would be a capital expenditure or a revenue expenditure - Held that:- distinction lies between a case where royalty or rent is being paid on the one hand and where the entire amount of lease is paid either at a time or in instalments. Whereas in the former case it would be a revenue expenditure in the latter it would be a capital expenditure. In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that this is not a case where the High Court could have interfered with the order of the Tribunal - Decided against assessee.

2006 (12) TMI 137 - SC ORDER
Special Audit - Assessee contends that before any direction can be issued under section 142(2A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (in short "the Act") for special audit of the accounts of the assessee, there has to be a pre-decisional hearing and an opportunity has to be granted to the assessee for the purpose - Held that:- A close reading of the decision shows that the observations in this regard appear to have been made in the context of the assessments in terms of section 158BC (block assessment) of the Act. Such assessments are relatable to a case when raid has been conducted at the premises of an assessee. Had that been so, limited to the facts involved in that case, we would have negatived the contentions of learned counsel for the petitioner. But, certain observations of general nature have been made. The effect of these observations appear to be that in every case where the Assessing Officer issues a direction in terms of section 142(2A) of the Act, the assessee has to be heard before such order is passed. This does not appear to us to be the correct position of law - Matter referred to larger bench.

Whether Tribunal was right in law in holding that the driver‘s salary was not to be included while working out the disallowance u/s 37(3A) - expression “running and maintenance of motor cars” would clearly include the expenditure on hiring a drive for running, the said motor car – hence, driver‘s salary must be included while working out the disallowance u/s 37(3A) - assessee claimed investment allowance in respect of its refinery unit for new machinery - Assessing Officer is not justified in disallowing the claim on the ground that the refinery was not a manufacturing process/industrial undertaking

For non-compliance with the provisions of section 249(4)(a) the appeal was not entertained by CIT (A). The appellant instead of challenging the order dismissing the appeal or availing of any other remedy against such an order, filed appeal once again pointing out that tax having been subsequently adjusted - Though fresh appeal filed was not maintainable, filing of appeal again was merely an irregularity and the said appeal could be treated as an application for revival of appeal - order of the Tribunal & CIT (A) is set aside - CIT (Appeals) is directed to decide the appeals on the merits

... ... ... ... ..... stitutes plant , the functional test must be applied. If it is found that the building or structure constitutes an apparatus or a tool of the taxpayer by means of which the business activities are carried on, it would amount to plant but where the structure plays no part in the carrying on of those activities but merely constitutes a place within which they are carried on, the building cannot be regarded as a plant. Admittedly, in the instant case, the Assessing Officer and the Commissioner as well as the Tribunal observed that the assessee, who is a medical practitioner, is running a nursing home. Hence, applying the ratio laid down by the apex court in CIT v. Dr. B. Venkata Rao 2000 243 ITR 81, referred supra, we hold that the cost of construction of the nursing home of the assessee is entitled for depreciation on the ground that it is a plant. In view of the above, we uphold the order of the Tribunal and finding no substantial question of law, the appeals stand dismissed.

... ... ... ... ..... urts, but such power and jurisdiction could be exercised statutorily only within the time of four years, not beyond the period of four years. For all these reasons, when the section is plain and unambiguous, any other interpretation, if made, would lead to a situation where the authority would exceed its jurisdiction. We are therefore of the view that the Appellate Tribunal should have passed the order of rectification within four years from the date of the order sought to be rectified. In fine, without going into the merits of the case, we hold that the order passed by the Appellate Tribunal is barred by limitation. Accordingly, the order impugned and the consequential order dated June 12, 2003 are set aside as it is settled that when initiation of proceedings under a statute lacks jurisdiction, the final or consequential order is also liable to be struck down. The questions are answered in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee. The appeal stands allowed. No costs.
