Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. This is a revision by the State Government against an order of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. The assessee in this case is a partnership firm called Rafeeq Ahmed and Company. They were dealers in skins.

Decided on: Jul-14-1981

Reported in: [1984]146ITR355(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. This reference raises an interesting point. The assessee is a company carrying on business as a distributor of cinematograph films. The assessse gives the positive prints of films to distributors who exhibit them in their cinema houses. The consideration received from them by the assessee goes by the name of 'collections'.

Before or at the time of handing over the prints for exhibition to an exhibitor, the assessee received what is called a security deposit.
