Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Sri Baldeoji Maharaj Trust

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-13-1982

Reported in: (1983)36CTR(All)79; [1983]142ITR584(All); [1982]10TAXMAN269(All)

K.N. Seth, J. 1. For the assessment year 1974-75 the assessee filed its return of income on September 20, 1974, showing an income of Rs. 16,894. The auditor's report in the prescribed form as required by Section 12A of the I.T. Act was not attached to the return. The assessee filed a revised return on January 31, 1975, along with the auditor's report. It appears that for the assessment year 1974-75 the Department prescribed a new form of return. The assessee, consequently, filed another return on March 29, 1975, on the prescribed form along with the auditor's report. The assessee's total income exceeded Rs. 25,000. The ITO rejected the assessee's claim for exemption under Section 11(1)(a) of the Act on the ground that it had failed to comply with the provisions of Section 12A(b) as its income, without giving effect to the provisions of Sections 11 and 12, exceeded Rs. 25,000 and the accounts were not got audited by the time the original return was filed. The ITO further held that the a...

Decided on: May-12-1982

Reported in: (1982)30CTR(All)291; [1983]141ITR685(All); [1982]11TAXMAN52(All)

Seth, J.1. The assessee-firm carries on business in Khand, Dane, etc., on its own account as well as on commission basis. The ITO while making assessment for the assessment year 1973-74, noticed that in the balance-sheet there was an account under the style, ' Amanat Kkata ' with a creditbalance of Rs. 29,028. This amount was realised from the 'constituents by the assessee and represented Krishi Utpadam Mandi Tax payable under Krishi Utpadan Mandi Act. The assessee took the stand that the amount could not be taxed as it maintained the accounts under mercantile system and that it had to pay the balance either to Krishi Utpadan Mandi or the constituents from whom it was realised. The ITO brought this amount to tax. On appeal, the AAC took the view that the liability to pay Krishi Utpadan Mandi Tax had accrued in the assessee's case. He found that the assessee had received various' notices of demand from Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti, Agra. It clearly indicated that the liability had accrue...

Gangadhar Ramchand and anr. Vs. the Sales Tax Tribunal and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-12-1982

Reported in: [1983]54STC129(All)

R.M. Sahai, J.1. This petition is directed against order dated 17th April, 1982, passed by the Member, Sales Tax Tribunal, Agra, directing the stay application filed on behalf of assessee to be placed before a Bench consisting of two members on 4th May, 1982. This direction obviously was made because the amount of tax involved was more than Rs. 5,000. A reading of Section 10(10) read with Rule 69(5) makes it clear that the restriction of hearing of appeal by a Bench consisting of two members is only in respect of appeals. It does not apply to stay application. Sub-rule (5) of Rule 69 reads as under :An application for stay under Section 10(6) may be heard and disposed of irrespective of the amount involved.2. In view of this provision the stay application of the assessee could have been decided by the single member and it was not necessary to direct it to be listed before a Bench consisting of two members.3. In the circumstances this petition succeeds and is allowed. The order dated 17...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-11-1982

Reported in: (1982)30CTR(All)276; [1982]136ITR761(All)

Seth, J.1. The assessee-firm was constituted with effect from October 10, 1970. For the assessment years 1972-73 and 1973-74, the assessee failed to put up any claim under Section 80J of the LT. Act before the ITO. In appeal before the AAC, the assessee claimed benefit under Section 80J on the ground that it was a newly constituted firm and was entitled to the benefit of that provision. The AAC rejected the claim on the reasoning that no relief under Section 80J was claimed either in the returns or in the assessment proceedings before the ITO. Aggrieved by the order of the AAC, the assessee went up in appeal before the Tribunal. The Tribunal, following the decision of the Gujarat High Court in CIT v. Gurjargravures P. Ltd. : [1972]84ITR723(Orissa) , held that the assessee was entitled to claim benefit under Section 80J and directed that for both the years under consideration the ITO will examine the claim of the assessee on merits after giving an opportunity to the assessee and pass or...
