  1. Direct Tax ·ITAT Bangalore · 17 Mar 2020
    First proviso to section 12A(2) was brought in the statute only as a retrospective effect with a view not to affect genuine charitable trusts and societies carrying on genuine charitable objects in the earlier years and substantive conditions stipulated in section 11 to 13 have been duly fulfilled by the said trust. The benefit of retrospective application alone could be the intention of the legislature and this point is further strengthened by the Explanatory Notes to Finance (No.2) Act, 2014 issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes vide its Circular No. 01/2015 dated 21.1.2015.

    Following the Coordinate Bench decision in assessee’s own case for earlier years and considering the principle of consistency, we see no reason to deviate from the earlier decision and accordingly, for the purposes of section 80P(2)(d) of the Act, Jaipur Central Cooperative Bank Ltd shall be treated as a cooperative society. Therefore, interest on FDRs placed by the assessee society with such cooperative society shall be eligible for deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) of the Act and such claim cannot be denied by virtue of provisions of Section 80P(4) of the Act.

  6. Direct Tax ·Madras High Court · 16 Mar 2020
    It is well settled that if it is a charge for service rendered by the commercial agency and the amount of fee levied is based on the expenses incurred by the Government rendering the fee. Unlike the tax which is compulsory extraction of money, enforceable by law and not in return of any services rendered. The distinction between the tax and the fee is that tax is levied as a part of common burden while fee is payment for a special benefit of privilege. Fee confers some advantage and is a return of consideration for services rendered.

  9. Direct Tax ·ITAT Indore · 16 Mar 2020
    We are unable to accept this contention of the assessee in view of the finding of fact recorded by the ld. CIT(A) that the facts and circumstances for the assessment year 2007-08 were entirely different from the facts and circumstances of the year under appeal. Hence, the profit adopted for that year cannot mechanically be adopted for the year under appeal as this Tribunal has already considered the facts on record and expressed its view.

  11. Direct Tax ·ITAT Mumbai · 16 Mar 2020
    Once there is a categorical finding in this regard, the invocation of Explanation 3 to section 43(1) fails. Accordingly we hold that that the disallowance of depreciation by invocation of Explanation 3 to section 43(1) in this regard fails on account of lack of jurisdiction.

Writ Petition dismissed with costs of Rs. 5 lakh. (Note: The Supreme Court has stayed recovery of the demand)
