II. Direct Tax Case laws:
1. Exotic Fruits (P.)
Ltd. v. Income-tax Officer (International Taxation) Ward -1(1),
Bangalore, IT APPEAL NOS. 1008 TO 1013 (BANG.) OF 2012, Date of Order:
OCTOBER 4, 2013 – ITAT – Banglore.
Where
assessee had paid export commission to its non-resident agent, in view
of fact that services of non-resident agents were rendered outside India
and commission was also paid outside India, income of such agent by way
of commission could not be considered as accrued or arisen or deemed to
be accrued or arisen in India
Assessee's
agents based abroad have never rendered any services in India.
Admittedly, none of the assessee's agents have their offices or business
establishments in India for rendering such services to the assessee.
The commissions to such agents have been paid not in India but overseas.
Since no part of the services were rendered by such agents in India, no
income arose on the payment of commissions to such agents and,
consequently, as rightly argued by the assessee, the question of
deduction of tax at source under section 195 doesn't arise.

2. Commissioner Of Income Tax vs. M/S Jogendra Singh &
Company, ITA No. - 1 of 2014, Date of Order : 06.01.2014, Allahabad High
Court.
Whether the ITAT erred in law in deleting the additions made U/s 68
on the basis of affidavits only, ignoring the provisions and spirit and
aim of the legislature
in formulating Section 68.
Held Yes
During
the stage of the remand proceeding, the assessee had filed by way of
affidavits confirmations from the creditors. Subsequently, three
remaining creditors had also filed confirmations. The Tribunal has
compared the same with the list of sundry creditors in the balance-sheet
for the earlier year ending on 31 March 2007. It has been found that
the creditors have provided building material for civil construction
work and road roller and JCB machine for the use of the business
activities of the assessee and, therefore, if some outstanding amount
was left due at the end of the financial year, which was confirmed by
the creditors, this could not be regarded as an unexplained liability.
