  9. Supreme Court · 06 Jun 2020
    (i) The sweeping proposition in some Supreme Court decisions that when two views are possible, the one favourable to assessee has to be preferred & that a tax incentive provision must receive liberal interpretation, is disapproved by the Constitution Bench in Dilip Kumar (2018) 9 SCC 1 (FB).

  16. ITAT Delhi · 03 Jun 2020
    We have two rates for quantifying the additional profits i.e. 0.61% of CIT(A) and 0.51% of the Tribunal for the assessment year 2006-07. The turnover is found increased for the assessment year 2007-08. Considering the same, we are of the opinion that the additional profits at 0.51% needs to be revised marginally. If the same is done, we find the decision of the CIT(A) with 0.61% of additional profits should be considered proper and appropriate.

  17. ITAT Delhi · 03 Jun 2020
    There is no dispute about the payment of the interest and the utilization of the loans received by the business entity. The invocation of the Section 40A(2)(b) by the AO in this case is on a wrong interpretation/application of the provisions. The provisions of Section 40A(2)(b) entitles disallowance on account of any expenditure being excessive are unreasonable having regard to the fair market value. In the instant case, we find that the amounts have been received from the partnership firm by the loan parties and if at all any disallowance is to be made, the same needs to be considered in the hands of the partnership firms but not in the proprietary concern.
