2018 (8) TMI 910 - AT - Income TaxAssessee in Default u/s 201(1) - Failure to deduct tax at source (TDS u/s 192) - The assessee (KPTCL) paid cash equivalent to its employees at the time of their retirement - Exemption u/s 10(10AA) in respect of payment in lieu of leave period not availed by the employee - Sec.10(10AA) does not define as to who is to be regarded as employee of Central or a State Government. The revenue’s case is KPTCL is not State Government but a statutory corporation and therefore its employees cannot be regarded as employees of State Government. Held that:- There is no reason for them to think that its estimate of employee’s income under the head “Salaries” was incorrect as the belief it entertained was that its employees were to be regarded as employees of State Government and that its employees are entitled to exemption of the entire sum of unutilized leave encashment u/s.10(10AA)(i) of the Act. KPTCL has discharged its obligation u/s.192 and hence proceedings u/s.201(1) & 201(1A) of the Act deserves to be quashed and are hereby quashed. - Decided in favor of assessee.
