II.  Direct Tax Case laws:

1. Income-tax Officer, vs. Shri Haresh Chand Agarwal, HUF, Date of Order: ITA No.282/Agra/2013, Date of Order: 20.12.2013, ITAT-Agra

Merely applicability of sec 50C will not prove escapement of Income

When all material evidences were available at the stage of original assessment proceedings and the AO merely following the provisions of section 50C, as was not considered in the original assessment proceedings, reopened the assessment order is not proper and mere change of opinion, since during assessment proceedings assessee has disclosed all the facts which were known all along to the Revenue. Section 50C is not final determination to prove that it is a case of escapement of income. The report of approved valuer may give estimated figure on the basis of facts of each case. Therefore, on mere applicability of section 50C would not disclose any escapement of income in the facts and circumstances of the case.

2. The Income-tax Officer vs. M/s.Theekathir Press, ITA No.2076(Mds)/2012, Date of Pronouncement : 18th September, 2013, ITAT-Chennai

Whether disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) is only applicable to amounts that are payable and not to amounts that are paid?

Held : Yes

In the instant case, certain claims were disallowed by the AO stating that the TDS has not been deducted and paid. Ld. CIT deleted the disallowance stating the basis that amount “payable” would alone attract the disallowance and not applicable to the amounts paid. On appeal to Appellate Tribunal, the appeal and cross objections were dismissed forming the basis as set out by the Supreme Court that where both the views are present (in favor and against the assessee), the judgement in favor of assessee has to be considered.
