  1. ITAT Bangalore · 07 Feb 2014
    Presence of commercial motive cannot be a ground to cancel registration u/s. 12AA(3) of the Act. It was not a necessary element for a charitable purpose that it should be providing something for nothing or for less than what it costs or for less than the ordinary price. So long as the income of the trust is applied for charitable purpose, there can be no question of any tax liability on the assessee.

    (2014) TaxCorp(LJ) 2646 (ITAT-BANGALORE) · Income Tax Section 12AA

  2. Madras High Court · 03 Feb 2014
    Wind energy generators used in the process of manufacture of wind mills. Generator sets being one such block of asset falling for consideration under Clause 10A of the depreciation table, this alone would qualify for the rate as prescribed under 'renewal energy devices', i.e., 100% depreciation. As far as other machineries are concerned viz., drilling machines, boring machines, boring machine for foundation work and lathe machine, as rightly pointed out by the Assessing Officer, the same would qualify for depreciation at 25% and not at 100% as claimed by the assess.

  5. ITAT Panaji · 25 Jul 2013
    S. 271(1)(c) - No doubt, in the case of the Assessee, the claim of the Assessee in respect of Depreciation on Goodwill has been disallowed and confirmed by the Tribunal as well as by the Hon'ble High Court but since now the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court is before us in the case (2012) 6 TaxCorp (DT) 52548 (SC), it cannot be said that the claim of the Assessee was not bona fide. The disallowance of claim of depreciation in case of the Assessee will not make the claim of the Assessee not to be bona fide one. The bona fide of the claim of the Assessee is itself proved by the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Under these facts it cannot be said that the Assessee has furnished inaccurate particulars of income so far it relates to the claim of depreciation on goodwill in each of the A.Ys. The claim u/s 80IA/80IB has been made by the Assessee as per computation and for making the claim, the Assessee has to submit the audited report which is duly certified by the C.A. All the particulars in respect of the claim are to be furnished. It is not the case of the Revenue that the Assessee has not furnished all the particulars of the claim. If the Assessee has made the claim on the basis of the opinion and certificate of an expert, in our opinion, it cannot be said that the Assessee had concealed the particulars of income or furnished inaccurate particulars of income. We, accordingly, dismiss all the appeals filed by the Revenue.

  7. ITAT Panaji · 31 Jan 2014
    When assessee has earned the dividend income from the company, some expenditure might have incurred and it is the duty of the AO to make enquiry in respect of expenditure incurred for earning the dividend income. This is the case whether the AO has made the assessment without proper enquiry. The AO unlike the Civil Court which is neutral to give a decision on the basis of evidence produced before him. But AO is not only adjudicator but also an investigator. The AO cannot remain passive on the facts of a return which is apparently in order but calls for further enquiry. In this case it was the duty of the AO to make enquiry, whether assessee has incurred any expenditure to earn the dividend from the company at Rs. 54,620.50 or not. The AO was failed to make such enquiry, the order is erroneous and prejudicial to revenue. The assessment is restored to the AO to make a further enquiry after giving due opportunity of hearing to the assessee.

  12. ITAT Chennai · 24 Jan 2014
    New unit for the purpose of claiming deduction u/s 10B - Merely because assessee might have utilized some of the previous structures on the plot, in our view, cannot decline him deduction u/s 10B of the Act - Electrical connection is crucial to start operations - Payments made through banks to various people for carrying out the works of repairs and renovations to the factory building for making it suitable for carrying out the assessee's works - Assessee’s sales have also increased in the assessment year in question. In our view, the aforesaid material clearly proves that the assessee had set up a new unit.

    Bogus Payment – Gross Profit – Purchases may be from the bogus parties; nevertheless, the entire purchases themselves were not bogus- Merely because the suppliers have not appeared before the assessing officer or the CIT (A), one cannot conclude that the purchases were not made by the assessee. - Purchases made by the assessee from parties were bogus when that is so, it cannot be said that the entries for the purchases of the goods made in the books of account were bogus entries.
