Court: Allahabad

Reported in: [1978]114ITR850(All)

Satish Chandra J.1. The assessee is a co-operative society. Its funds have been invested mainly in Government securities. Its funds include the funds of the provident fund accounts of its employees. A portion of this provident fund was invested by the assessee in Government securities. The assessee earned interest income by this investment. For the assessment years 1957-58 to 1960-61, it claimed deduction from its 'income from interest' of the amount of interest payable by it to its employees on the balance of their provident fund accounts. This claim was accepted by the Income-tax Officer.2. For the assessment years 1961-62 to 1965-66, the same claim was, however, repelled by the Income-tax Officer. He held that the assessee-co-operative society could not be said to have borrowed any money so as to claim deduction under Section 19(ii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.3. On this view, the Income-tax Officer reopened the assessments for the previous years 1957-58 to 1960-61 and, after hearin...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-14-1978

Reported in: (1978)7CTR(All)259

Satish Chandra, J. - These nine applications involve the question whether the assessee was exempt from tax under S. 10(22) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, on the ground that it was an educational institution. For some years this plea was not taken initially before the Income-tax Officer while in other years it was repelled by him. In appeal also the plea failed although the assessee succeeded on another question viz, whether in respect of its income on securities the assessee was entitled to deduction of interest paid on borrowed money. The matter went up to the Tribunal by way of an appeal in respect of the question of allowable deduction from the interest on securities-income while the question of exemption under S. 10(22) was taken up in the cross-objection filed by the assessee.2. The assessee did not file any application for reference under S. 256(1) of the Act in respect of the question relating to exemption under S. 10(22) of the Act.

Addl. Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Nathimal Badri Prasad and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-09-1978

Reported in: [1979]116ITR409(All)

Satish Chandra, J.1. The question of law raised in this reference is whether expenses incurred by an assessee in purchasing its raw material for stock-in-trade for carrying on the manufactaring or trading business is covered within the meaning of the expression 'expenditure' occurring in Section 40A of the I.T. Act, 1961. The Tribunal held that they were outside the purview of this expression and hence Section 40A was not applicable with the result that the amount of such purchases could hot be added back.2. This court in U.P. Hardware Store v. CIT : [1976]104ITR664(All) has taken a different view.' It was held that there was no justification for accepting the plea that the words 'expenditure' used in Section 40A(3) should be restricted to overhead expenses enumerated under Sections 30 to 43A of the Act, The word 'expenditure' is of wide import. It would cover payments made for purchases of stock-in-trade also and such payments could be disallowed if they are made in cash exceeding Rs....

Reported in: AIR1978All298

ORDERC.S.P. Singh, J.1. This revision is directed against an order refusing permission to file an appeal as a pauper.2. A decree had been obtained against a firm, which consisted of two partners, one Sri Ram Lal and the other Sri Moonga Ram. Ram Lal filed an appeal to the District Judge on behalf of the firm and sought permission to file the appeal as pauper. The matter was sent for inquiry to the Civil Judge. The Civil Judge found that Ram Lal who had preferred the appeal on behalf of the firm had no means to pay the court-fee. He, however, found that there was no evidence on record that Moonga Ram the other partner did not have sufficient means to pay the court-fee, and further that as the firm had been carrying on buisness of Dal Mill before it was closed, it could not be said that the appellant firm did not have any assets out of which the court-fee could be paid. After recording these findings, the matter went back to the District Judge. The District Judge took the same view.3. Co...
