1970 (9) TMI 24 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT
Claim for development rebate on the cost of mains, service lines and switch gears ... ... ... ... ..... ve of any consideration as to the amount actually contributed by the company or the amount actually recouped ultimately, from the consumers. Consequently, it was held that under section 10(5)(a), the amount paid by the consumers on account of service connection should not be taken into account in calculating the actual cost to the company. A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court in Commissioner of Income-tax v. Cochin Electric Co. Ltd. also arrived at a similar conclusion in holding that the words actual cost meant the cost accurately ascertained and it did not mean that the cost should necessarily be defrayed from the assessee-company s own resources. We are in agreement with the above view which appears to have the consensus of authority in its favour arid in accordance therewith we hold in reply to the second question that the development rebate was admissible to the company on the gross cost irrespective of any reimbursement received by it. PREM CHAND PANDIT J.-I agree.

Coorg Agricultural Income Tax Act, 1951 - set off the carried forward loss ... ... ... ... ..... ome of the following year. The stand of the first respondent amounts to denial of the benefit of the decision of this court to the assessee. The second respondent has in fact ordered on December 21, 1967, that the loss of Rs. 51,143 shall be carried forward to the next year for being set off against the income of that year. But after making a correct order, he failed to give effect to the same when he sought the instructions of the first respondent who, under directions of the Government, not authorised by law, refused the request of the petitioner. In our opinion, the second respondent was bound to give effect to his order dated December 21, 1967, which is in accordance with the provisions of section 14, by revising his order of assessment for the assessment year 1953-54. Since he has failed to carry out his statutory duty, we issue a writ directing-the second respondent to give effect to his order dated December 21, 1967. In the circumstances, we make no order as to costs.

1970 (9) TMI 11 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Amounts paid towards endowment policy which are refundable - claim for rebate u/s 87(1) ... ... ... ... ..... ulfilled. The Corporation has been doing business in life insurance since, the year 1956. The policy in question was issued in the year 1962. In the policy it was described as pure endowment assurance without profits. We have seen that the transaction is of the nature of life insurance business as defined, in the Insurance Act, 1938. Since payment of the sum assured depended on the survival of the assessee, this was an insurance on the life of the assessee. The assessee is an individual. It is not disputed that payment was made out of his income chargeable to tax. Thus, all the conditions mentioned in section 87(1)(a)(i) are satisfied in the instant case. We are of the opinion that the assessee is entitled to rebate on the amount of Rs. 4,687. We, therefore, answer the question referred to the court in the affirmative, and in favour of the assessee. The Commissioner of Income-tax shall pay the assessee Rs. 200 as costs of this reference. Question answered in the affirmative.

1970 (9) TMI 9 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
Carry forward - Set off - unabsorbed business loss ... ... ... ... ..... . Dr. Misra conceded that by virtue of proviso (b) to sub-section (2) of section 24, business losses have to be given priority over unabsorbed depreciation allowance. We have seen that under proviso (b) to section 10(2)(vi), depreciation allowance which is carried forward merges into depreciation allowance for the succeeding year. After such merger, the unabsorbed depreciation allowance is to be deemed to be direct allowance for the current year. If business losses have to be given priority over unabsorbed depreciation allowance, there is no good reason why depreciation (sic) losses which have been brought forward should not receive priority over current depreciation allowance. The procedure adopted by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner in this respect appears to be correct. We, therefore, answer the question referred to the court in the affirmative, and in favour of the assessee. The Commissioner Income-tax, U.P., shall pay the assessee Rs. 200 as costs of this reference.
