Income Tax

Characterization of income - cash receipt due to waiver of loan by the state government - whether in the nature of subsidy - to be treated as benefit / perquisite u/s 28(iv) or not - there is a fundamental difference between “loan” and “subsidy” and the two concepts cannot be equated. While “loan” is a borrowing of money required to the repaid back with interest; “subsidy” is not required to be repaid back being a grant - even if a “loan” is written off or waived, which can be for various reasons, it cannot partake the character of a “subsidy” - No additions - HC
