Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Coimbatore Premier Corporation Pvt. Ltd ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-02-1998

Reported in: [2000]246ITR626(Mad)

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. The omission to seek the approval of the Commissioner of Income-tax for a group gratuity scheme, though the scheme adopted by the assessee would have received such approval if it had been sought for, the scheme being one formulated by the Life Insurance Corporation of India which has been adopted by a large number of the assessees, has led to this reference. The Revenue is aggrieved by the order of the Tribunal holding that notwithstanding the absence of such approval, the contribution made to the scheme which remains unapproved till today is allowable as an item of expenditure under Section 37 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.2. The assessment year is 1976-77. The assessee had adopted the group gratuity scheme formulated by the Life Insurance Corporation of India and it had paid premium to the said Corporation in a sum of Rs. 62,556 during the relevant previous year. The deduction sought for that payment was disallowed by the Income-tax Officer under Section 36(1)(v...

ORDER1. Heard.2. The above revision is preferred against the order dated 22.11.1993 in I.A.No.3880 of 1993 in O.S.No.706 of 1991, on the file of the II Additional District Munsif, Pondicherry, dismissing the application, seeking amendment in the plaint schedule property, of course, including certain additional items in the suit property in O.S.No.706 of 1997, specifying more details as to the schedule, survey No. and extent.
