(vii) As the period for filing revised return was already expired, the assessee preferred appeal before the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (in short the Tribunal ), raising the grounds as reproduced above. 4. Before us, the learned Counsel of the assessee submitted that the assessee is governed by the provisions of section 115A(1)(b) read with section 44AD and is liable to pay tax at the rate of 25% plus surcharge plus cess, however, under Article 13 of India UK Tax Treaty, the rate of tax on FTS is provided at 15%.

The return of income filed by the assessee on 30/09/2014 contains parts A and B. After these two parts, there is a verification by the assessee and thereafter different schedules are available in the return of income. On perusal of Part A-BS (Balance-sheet as on 31st March 2014) of the return of income, we find that assessee has reported nil figures. Similarly, in part A-P L (profit and loss account for financial year 2013-14) also the assessee has reported nil figure. In part B-TI (computation of total income) also the assessee has reported nil income. In clause 14 of Part B -TI, the assessee has reported income chargeable to tax at special rates.
