Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Sep-20-1978

Reported in: (1979)9CTR(All)169; [1979]116ITR811(All)

Satish Chandra, C.J. 1. The assessee manufactures and sells carpets. For the assessment year 1974-75, it had claimed relief under Section 2(8)(c) of the Finance Act, 1974 (20 of 1974). It claimed that it was an industrial company as denned in these provisions and so it was liable to tax at the rate of 55%. The ITO did not accept this plea. He held that in the process of selling carpets to buyers the assessee has shown a loss. The ultimate profit has resulted because of receipt of import entitlement or cash subsidy in view of the export incentive scheme of the Government of India. This was not the profit earned from the manufacturing business of the assessee. He levied tax at the rate of 65%. The assessee filed an appeal before the AAC which was partly allowed. The assessee and the department both took up the matter to the Tribunal. The Tribunal considered the matter elaborately and held that the admitted position was that the assessee was a manufacturer of carpets. He sold his products...

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. The assessee is an individual. In his return for the assessment year 1972-73, under the W.T. Act, he showed the value of certain unquoted shares held by him at a figure which was arrived at on the basis of the mean of the values obtained on the break-up basis and the yield basis. The WTO did not accept this method of valuation of the unquoted shares. He held that they were liable to be valued by Rule 1-D of the W.T. Rules. He computed the value of the unquoted shares accordingly. He repelled the further submission of the assessee that while computing his own wealth on the valuation date the estimated amount of capital gains tax which would be payable by him in the event of the sale of these shares should be deducted. This view was upheld on appeal as well as on furtherappeal by the Tribunal. At the instance of the assessee, the Tribunal has referred the following questions of law for our opinion :'1.
