Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Union Company Motors Limited

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-13-2007

Reported in: [2008]296ITR542(Mad)

Chitra Venkataraman, J.1. The above appeal is by the Revenue relating to the Assessment Year 1989-90.2. The issue raised herein relates to the rectification of assessment under Section 143(1)(a). It is seen that the assessing authority went in for rectification of the assessment under Section 154 in respect of sale consideration of land and building not credited to the profit and loss but directly taken to the General Reserve Account, apart from provisions for bad and doubtful debts, provision for depreciation and investments and provision for sales tax, considered for the purposes of applying the provisions of Section 115J. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) allowed the assessee's appeal, taking the view that the issues involved were debatable issues which could not be the subject matter of the adjustment under Section 143(1)(a) of the Act, consequently, not amenable to Section 154 of the Act also. On the question of the assessee directly crediting the sale proceeds to the Gener...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-13-2007

Reported in: [2008]296ITR540(Mad)

Chitra Venkataraman, J.1. The above appeal is by the Revenue, relating to the Assessment Year 1993-94. The two questions of law that arise for consideration in this appeal are as follows:1. Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that where the assessment was under Section 115J for the earlier year, the assessee is entitled to excess depreciation?2. Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in holding that for a prima facie adjustment under Section 143(1)(a), the assessing officer cannot look at the earlier year's returns?2. This is related to granting of excess depreciation while computing the income as per provisions of Section 115J. The assessing authority originally accepted the return under Section 143(1)(a) without any prima facie adjustment in the intimation and granted the depreciation as claimed by the assessee. Considering the apparent mistake on the question of granting excess depreciation, the As...
