Assessment u/s 153A - Deduction u/s 80IA and 80IB - Held that:- Instead of complying with the requirements of section 153A of the Act, the A.O. proceeded with the pending assessment proceeding for the A.Y.and passed the impugned assessment order during the pendency of the assessment u/s 153A of the Act which is a nullity and as such the assessment order dtd. 27-12-2006 passed u/s 143(3) of the Act is illegal, arbitrary, wholly without jurisdiction and, hence, the same is quashed.
As regards the plea of the ld. D.R. that in the assessment order passed u/s 153A of the Act, the A.O. has made the additions/disallowances on the basis of the impugned assessment order passed u/s 143(3) of the Act, therefore, on equitable ground, the said additions may remain to be considered as made in the assessment order passed u/s 153A of the Act, we find that it is a settled law that where there is no ambiguity and the intention of the legislature is clearly conveyed, there is no scope for the court to undertake any exercise to read something into the provisions which the legislature in its wisdom concisely omitted. Such an exercise is undertaken by the court may amount to amending or altering statutory provisions. The courts have to decide what the law is and not what it should be.

... ... ... ... ..... r section 40(a)(i) in respect of consultancy charges paid to various persons outside India. The Commissioner of Income-tax(Appeals) has rightly observed that the disallowance under section 40(a)(i) can be made only if taxes are not withheld on income chargeable to tax in India. In the present case there is no acquisition of technical knowledge which could be independently applied by the assessee. Therefore, the payment could not be construed as if for technical services. The entire services were rendered outside India. There is no permanent establishment for the non resident in India. In these circumstances the Commissioner of Incometax( Appeals) has rightly deleted the disallowance of ₹ 18,99,269/-. This ground of the Revenue is dismissed. 15. The Revenue is partly successful in its appeal. 16. In result, the appeal filed by the assessee as well as the appeal filed by the Revenue are partly allowed. Orders pronounced on Wednesday, the 17th of October, 2012 at Chennai.

... ... ... ... ..... mptive income and in this manner the order of DRP was set aside and AO was directed not to include the amount of service tax in the total receipts for determining the income under section 44BB. 8. Respectfully following the aforementioned decision of the co-ordinate bench of the Tribunal in the case of Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines(supra), which has considered the decision relied upon by ld D.R., we decide this issue in favour of assessee. It may also be mentioned that later on Delhi ITAT vide its decision dated 29.6.2012 in the case of Sedco Forex International Drilling Inc (supra) has admitted the position that service tax is a statutory liability which does not involve any element of profit and, therefore, cannot be included in the total receipts for determining presumptive income under section 44BB. Therefore, assessee's appeal is allowed on the issue raised before us. 9. In the result, appeal is allowed. Pronounced in the open court on 31st October, 2012 .

... ... ... ... ..... ing the deduction u/s. 80IB (10) in respect of the Housing Project “Rohan Heights” were not fulfilled, the assessee withdrew his claim. We further find that so far as disallowance made u/s. 40(a)(ia) is concerned, i.e. towards non-deduction of the TDS, nowhere it is the case of the A.O that any bogus claim is made by the assessee. In our opinion, the assessee’s case is squarely covered by the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT Vs. Reliance Petro Products Pvt. Ltd., 322 ITR 158 (SC). In the said case, their Lordships have held that merely because the claim is disallowed which is otherwise bonafide, the assessee cannot be subjected to penal consequences u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act. Moreover, the Ld CIT(A) has considered the issue in detail. We find no reason to take different view but confirm the order of the CIT(A). 7. In result, the revenue’s appeal is dismissed. The order is pronounced in the open Court on 19th October 2012.

... ... ... ... ..... Management P. Ltd. 26 SOT 603 wherein it was held that Rule 8D would be applicable retrospectively. 7. We have heard the arguments of both the sides and also perused the relevant material on record. As held by Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej Boyce and Mfg. Co. Ltd. 234 CTR 1, Rule 8D is applicable only from assessment year 2008-09 and for the year prior to assessment year 2008-09, the disallowance u/s 14A has to be made on some reasonable basis. Keeping in view the said decision of Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court, we set aside the impugned order of the learned CIT(Appeals) on this issue and restore the same to the file of the AO with a direction to the AO to recompute the disallowance to be made u/s 14A on some reasonable basis. Ground No.2 of the assessee’s appeal is accordingly treated as allowed. 8. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is treated as allowed for statistical purposes.

Same is upheld. 5. As a result, the appeals filed by the Revenue are dismissed. Pronounced in the open court on this the 4th day of October 2012

JCIT (supra), that decision has also been approved by the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court and SLP against that decision has been dismissed by the Supreme Court.

... ... ... ... ..... nal hearing in the course of proceedings before the Commissioner. Even the statements of the proprietor/Director of the appellant firm/company do not mention the above MOU. Therefore, at this stage, it is difficult to accept the appellant s plea regarding existence of the above mentioned MOU. 7.In view of the above factual position, we are of the view that this is not a case for waiver from the requirement of pre-deposit. Each of the two appellants M/s. Guru Nanank Dev and M/s. Gobind Expeller Co. Pvt.

... ... ... ... ..... in the remaining months nor could any addition be made towards suppressed production in those months. Since the addition has been made by the A.O. without bringing any concrete material on record to show that assessee has received job work charges more than what has been recorded in his books of account, the addition cannot be sustained. We further find that the A.O. has not even made any enquiries from the persons who have made payments to the assessee to ascertain as to whether or not there has been any suppressed production on the part of the assessee. We further find that on similar facts the Benches of this Tribunal in various cases have held that addition is not sustainable. Since the order passed by ld. CIT(A) is in conformity with the decisions of the Tribunal on the issue, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by him and the same is hereby confirmed. 8. In the result, Revenue’s appeal is dismissed. Order pronounced in open Court on 26.10.2012
