Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-14-1995

Reported in: (1996)130CTR(Mad)324; [1995]216ITR176(Mad)

Mishra, J. 1. Although in the statement of the case three questions of law are indicated, it appears and it is conceded at the Bar that the third question, 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal ought not to have held that the deduction under s. 80G was allowable in respect of donation in kind amounting to Rs. 9,366' does not arise and it is a mistake that the same has been included in the statement of the case as a question for a decision by this Court. 2. The first question, 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the reopening of the assessment under s. 147(b) of the IT Act was valid', has to be answered strictly in the light of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Indian & Eastern Newspaper Society vs . CIT : [1979]119ITR996(SC) . We have in Tax Case No. 79 of 1982, order dt. 31st Jan., [reported as M. A. Chidambaram vs . CIT : [1995]216ITR175(Mad) ] note : '.... it is concede...

The Court 1. The instant reference at the instance of the assessee of the two questions, (a) whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the relief under s. 35B(1)(b)(iii) is not available on the items claimed amounting to Rs. 1,23,449; and (b) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that the claim is not even alternatively allowable under s. 35B(1)(b)(v), is an unnecessary exercise, and it appears, it is an act of an overzealous assessee and a soft and yielding Tribunal. 2. In the long statement of the case, the Tribunal has pointed out that the assessee-company derived income from export of engineering goods and import handling commission. The assessee claimed weighted deduction under s. 35B (export markets development allowance) on the expenditure of Rs. 4,76,543. The ITO disallowed such deduction in respect of the expenditure of Rs. 2,37,313. Before the CIT(A), the assessee ...
