Block Assessment – Undisclosed income - First being as to whether for the purposes of block assessment under section 158BC the computation of undisclosed income can include income of any previous year which was below taxable limit but for which no return under section 139 was filed since there was no obligation under the Act to file the return – whether the income from undisclosed sources represented through assets acquired by the parents of the assessee can be the subject-matter of block assessment in the hands of the assessee - held that - if the Assessing Officer finds that the income of the assessee falls below the taxable limit during any particular assessment year then the income of that assessment year shall not be taken to be a part of the undisclosed income for the purpose of block assessment - , on the face of the language of section 158BB and rather all provisions contained in Chapter XIV-B, we are satisfied that even from the standpoint of burden of proof the learned Tribunal has rightly appreciated the evidence of the assessee

Industrial Undertaking – deduction - . The CIT(A) reversed the order of the Assessing Officer and allowed the deduction to the assessee under section 80HHB in respect of the interest on RBI bonds as well as the deduction under section 80-IA in respect of the transportation charges received by it. The Tribunal concurred with the view taken by the CIT(A) – held that - as regards the interest on RBI bonds, this was part of the total settlement package by which the assessee was to receive Rs. 54.93 crores for the works undertaken in Iraq as a sub-contractor of the IRCON – benefit of deduction allowed u/s 80HHB - business of the assessee included not only manufacturing but all incidental activities undertaken till the delivery of the manufactured goods was effected. The benefit of the deduction to the assessee in terms of section 80-IA of the Act cannot be denied since the receipts on account of transportation are a part of its business receipts

It was also found that a decrease in stock of Rs. 1.09 crores was partly due to the sale of finished goods at lower than cost and partly due to diminution in the value of the closing stock. The explanation given by the assessee for making loss on such sales was found by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) to be reasonable and supported by documentary evidence – revenue appeal dismissed.

Interest on irregular cenvat credit – Held that - On a plain reading of the above rule it is clear that since the respondent assessee used the Cenvat credit wrongly he became liable to pay duty along with interest as provided under the said rules. The provisions of Sections 11A, 11AA and 11AB provided for procedure for recovery of the said duty along with interest in case the assessee fails to pay the same. - the Tribunal was not justified in reversing the concurrent findings of the Assessing Officer and the First Appellate Authority in levying interest on the amount of credit which was availed by the respondent-assessee wrongly though the same was paid by the assessee prior to issuance of show cause notice. With the result the substantial question of law formulated in this appeal is answered in favour of the appellant Revenue.
