Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. O.M.S.S. Sankaralinga Nadar and Co.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-07-1982

Reported in: [1984]147ITR332(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. There are two questions of law which have been referred to us by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in this reference arising under the I.T. Act, 1961. 2. The assessee in this case is a partnership firm carrying on business in cereals, pulses and tamarind at Virudhunagar. During the account year ended September 7, 1975, the assessee firm spent Rs. 3,622 in relation to customers who visited the assessee's place of business. The ITO disallowed the entire expenditure under Section 37(2B) of the Act. On appeal, the Tribunal went into the nature of the expenditure and found that it represented the cost of supply of coffee, tea and other refreshments, to the assessee's customers. According to the Tribunal, these expenses were petty in nature and could hardly be regarded as entertainment expenditure, because there wasnothing lavish or entertaining about it. On this ground, the Tribunal set aside this part of the assessment order of the ITO and allowed the entire expendi...

Commissioner of Income-tax, Tamil Nadu-v Vs. Sitalakshmi Mills Ltd.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-06-1982

Reported in: (1983)35CTR(Mad)100; [1983]141ITR415(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. The assessees who figure in these tax cases are different. But the issue for our decision in each case is the same, and we dispose of it in this common judgment. 2. The issue arises this way. In the industrial establishment of each of the assessees before us, there is a gratuity scheme for the workers and the staff. Gratuity would be payable on certain events happening, such as the employee's retirement, resignation, retrenchment or death. In this sense, the liability is said to be a 'contingent liability'. But owing to modern systems of actuarial valuation, it would be possible to ascertain the present discounted value of the employer's commitment to pay gratuity to his entire labour force as and when the time comes. This value, if ascertained on actuarial basis, would be possible to ascertain the present discounted value would register an increase. This actual increase is often called 'increment value'. According to sound principles of commercial accounting, th...
