  1. Direct Tax ·Madras High Court · 06 Jan 2020
    There is really no necessity to examine the relevant provisions of law or the merits of the claims of the petitioners since there is a more fundamental aspect of the matter that appeals, the gross violation of the principles of natural justice. Apart from the fact that the two orders of assessment are entirely identical, word to word, except for the differences in the figures in the computation, there is nothing in the order itself to indicate that the petitioners have been put to notice of the proposals for assessment prior to finalization thereof and this aspect of the matter is really not disputed or contested by the revenue.

    In R.B. Seth Moolchand Suganchand the assessee was granted a lease of certain areas for mining of Mica for twenty years. The mines were earlier worked out by other companies for a period of fifteen years. The question was whether the expenditure for acquiring the leasehold rights were on revenue or a capital account. The Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the lease was a long term lease and it conferred right to excavate mica, that is to remove it, grade it and pay royalty to the government in accordance with the quality of mica extracted and thus, was a revenue expenditure.

DR’s submissions that the price is fixed by the Govt. is also strictly not correct.

  9. Direct Tax ·Delhi High Court · 03 Jan 2020
    We cannot understand as to how the payment of EDC-being in the nature of statutory fees, could be subject to withholding tax under Section 194 of the Act, a provision that is applicable to dividends. The nature of dividend payment is intrinsically different from EDC and, therefore, the apparent reason for reopening seems to be erroneous, irrational and fallacious.
