Case referred: CIT vs. Asahi India Safety Glass Limited (2011) 245 CTR 529 (Del.)

Whether the expenditure incurred on maintenance, back-up and support services to existing hardware and software is revenue in nature

Held Yes, the assessee was engaged in proving maintenance and support service to its client. The services were back up and support services to existing hardware and software already installed by the client for the purpose of business. The Assessing officer contended that the expenditure on such maintenance, backups and support services to existing hardware and software is capital in nature and disallowed the same. The CIT (A) deleted the said addition and Tribunal upheld the said order.

On further appeal to high Court, the high court held that such expenditure is revenue in nature.

2.   CIT Vs. Madan Teatres Ltd., ITAT No. 62 of 2013, Date of decision: 14.05.2013, Calcutta High Court

Decision: In favour of assessee

Section: 50C r.w. 271(1)(c ) of Income Tax Act, 1961

Whether penalty u/s 271(1)(c ) of the Act can be imposed on account of deeming fiction under section 50C of the Act

Held No,

Facts: The assessee sold a property at Rs. 2, 51, 50,000/- however as per section 50C the same is assessed at Rs. 5, 19, 77,000/-. During the time of assessment the AO found that the assessee has claimed Rs. 2, 51, 50,000/- as his sale consideration. The AO initiated proceedings u/s 271 (1) (c ) on the belief that the assessee has understated his income. On appeal before Tribunal, the Tribunal set aside the order imposing penalty.

On appeal before the High Court, the high court held that it is only on account of deeming provisions of section 50C, the AO has made the addition by adopting the sale consideration of Rs.5,19,77,000/-, being the value adopted for the purpose of stamp valuation. The revenue has also not shown as to how the assessee could be held to have actually received this amount which is in excess of the amount of Rs.2,51,50,000/-. In the circumstances, the appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Thus penalty cannot be imposed in absence of evidence against the assessee.
