The key points of the legal judgment by ITAT Delhi are as follows: The case involved the taxability of interest income on FDRs purchased by Uttarakhand Forest Corporation from UP Forest Corporation. The issue was whether the interest income accrued or was hypothetical. The tribunal held that since there was no certainty of realization of interest income due to unresolved negotiations between the state governments, taxing the unrealized interest income would be unjust. Citing precedents, the tribunal ruled that interest income should be taxed on receipt basis or when certainty is established, overturning the AO's additions.
