Khalsa Provisions Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax, New Delhi

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-27-1981

Reported in: [1982]137ITR817(Delhi)

Ranganathan, J.1. This reference under the I.T. Act raises a very short but interesting question as to the interpretation of s. 153(3) of the I.T. Act, 1961. 2. The assessed-applicant is M/s. Khalsa Provisions assessed as a registered-firm. The firm came into existence on October 15, 1962, but its books of account were closed for the first time on 30th November, 1963, i.e., after a period of 13 1/2 months from the date of commencement of the business. The firm filed a return for the assessment year 1964-65 on 7th June, 1964, including therein its entire income for the period from October 15, 1962, to November 30, 1963. This return was for the assessment year 1964-65, with which we are concerned in this reference. 3. Subsequently, the assessed seems to have thought that the return filed by it on June 7, 1964, was not a valid return inasmuch as the previous year under the I.T. Act of 1961 could not extend beyond a period of 12 months except in cases where the permission of the CBDT had b...
