Anshuman Singh, J.1. This revision under Section 11(1) of the U.P.

Commissioner of Wealth-tax Vs. Gayatri Devi

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-27-1989

Reported in: [1989]178ITR449(All); [1990]48TAXMAN199(All)

1. These are two applications filed at the instance of the Revenue under Section 27(3) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957. A common question raised in these applications is whether the Tribunal was justified in cancelling penalty under Section 18(1)(a) of the Wealth-tax Act. In allowing the appeal, the Tribunal followed its earlier order. The question before the Tribunal was whether the assessee had, without sufficient cause, failed to furnish her return within the time allowed and in the manner required by Sub-section (1) of Section 14 of the Wealth-tax Act. The returns filed by the assessee for both the years were late. The return for the assessment year 1970-71 was due on June 30, 1970, while for the year 1971-72 it was due on June 30, 1971, but were filed only on November 3, 1973, and June 30, 1972, respectively. From the order passed by the first appellate authority, it appears that the time for filing the returns for the aforesaid two years was extended in view of the circular issued by...

Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Krishna Textiles

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-27-1989

Reported in: (1989)77CTR(All)241; [1989]180ITR665(All)

R.K. Gulati, J.1. These are two applications under Section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, which relate to the assessment years 1979-80 and 1980-81. 2. We have heard learned counsel for the Revenue. Despite due notice, the assessee has not put in appearance and none was present for the assessee when the case was heard today. We have gone through the common order passed by the Tribunal giving rise to these applications and have also seen the other orders passed by the relevant authorities. 3. The reassessment orders which were framed under Section 147(b) for the above two years were set aside by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal following its earlier order for the assessment year 1977-78. From the order under Section 256(1), it is evident that for the assessment year 1977-78, the Tribunal itself has granted a reference to this court under the said provision. However, for the disputed years, references have been refused on the ground that for an intervening year, namely, 1978-79, ref...

Avdhesh Kumar JaIn Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-27-1989

Reported in: [1989]178ITR443(All); [1990]48TAXMAN266(All)

1. This application under Section 256(2) of the Income-tax Act relates to the assessment year 1978-79. Basically, two questions have been raised in this application. The first question is whether a sum of Rs: 28,000 which was assessed as income from undisclosed source was liable to be so assessed. According to the assessee, he had earned that amount from agriculture and it was thus exempt from the tax under the Income-tax Act. 2. The concurrent findings of the tax authorities including the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal are that the assessee had failed to produce any satisfactory evidence about his being engaged in agricultural activities. The further finding is that the assessee was also not able to state to whom the said agricultural produce was sold. Consequent to the aforesaid finding, the Tribunal has held that the sum of Rs. 28,000 was rightly assessed as income from undisclosed sources in the hands of the assessee. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are of the opini...

R.K. Gulati, J.1. These are nine applications under Section 27(3) of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957, which relate to the assessment years 1968-69 to 1976-77. By these applications, the Commissioner of Wealth-tax has required that the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal be directed to refer the case for the said years for the opinion of this court on three common questions proposed in these applications.2. The Hindu undivided family of Shadiram Ganga Prasad, the respondent assessee, had owned a house property which was used by it for residential purposes. The value of this property was to be determined in accordance with Rule 1BB of the Wealth-tax Rules, 1957. The question which fell for consideration before the Tribunal was as to what should be the 'gross maintainable rent'. According to the assessee, 'gross maintainable rent' should be deemed to be the basis of municipal valuation of the disputed building. This was, however, not accepted by the Wealth-tax Officer. In the first appeal, the Commiss...

Decided on: Feb-27-1989

Reported in: [1989]178ITR504(All)

Upon hearing the parties, we are satisfied that the following question of law does arise out of the order passed by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal :'(1) Whether in law and on the facts of the case, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in arriving at a conclusion that only the net amount paid by the firm to a partner after adjusting interest paid by him to the firm should be disallowed under Section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, irrespective of the fact that the amount of interest is received by him in a capacity other than the capacity in which he paid interest to the firm or is a partner in the firm ?'2.
