Requirement of splitting up of the entrance fee collected from life members in the ratio 20:80 is not the ratio of the cited judgement. To that extent, the decision of the learned CIT(A) is in order. Considering the above learned DR has not brought anything on record to show how the impugned order of learned CIT(A) decided on the strength of Bombay High Court judgement is not fair. We find the order of learned CIT(A) does not call for any interference. Thus, the g .....

The Assessing Officer was of the view that an amount of entrance fees to the extent of 80% was to be taxable in view of the judgement of Hon ble Bombay High Court. Therefore, we found no ground to interfere with the finding of the learned CIT(A) upholding the reopening u/s. 148 of the Act in his order in question dated 14.10.2011. 5.

Therefore, the Assessing Officer was wrong in splitting the fee received from life members into capital and revenue receipts in 20 : 80 ratio. That part of the entrance fee collected from life members, which collected from ordinary members, is to be treated as capital receipts and over and above this amount is to be treated as compounded mille of annual subscriptions and therefore this part is a taxable receipts a .....
