Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Hindustan Times Ltd.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-24-1987

Reported in: [1988]169ITR145(Delhi)

Ranganathan, J.1. The question on which a reference is by the Commissioner is whether the Tribunal was justified in allowing the assessed a deduction of Rs. 95,811 paid by it as a special commission to Orient Investment Private Limited. It is common ground that the commission was paid in respect of property assessed under section 22 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. It is also common ground that the expenditure is allowable only if it falls within section 24(1)(viii) which allows a deduction in respect of 'any sum spent to collect the rents from the property, not exceeding 6% of the annual value of the property'. It is also common ground that the amount incurred by the assessed fell within the ceiling above mentioned. 2. Both the commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal have given a concurrent finding that the commission was paid in order to enable the assessed to collect the rent. The agreement between the assessed and Orient Investment Private Limited was entered into in some...

Both these appeals involve common questions of law and facts; both were represented by the same Consultant. We, therefore, heard them together and proceed to dispose of them together.2.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-23-1987

Reported in: (2004)(164)ELT353TriDel

1. This is an appeal against order No. 119/85(H), dated 27-5-1985 passed by the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Madras. The dispute is over the assessment of castings which are subjected to the process of annealing, machining and polishing. The Assistant Collector held that these processes had not brought into existence articles distinct and different from castings. Unfortunately, the Assistant Collector does not give any reasons for his decision. He merely says that he had gone through the case records, the oral and written submissions; on this basis he came to the conclusion that the goods should be assessed under tariff item 26AA as it stood before 1-8-1983 and under item 25 after 1-8-1983 on all the 93 items that became the subject of the dispute.2. Before the Appellate Collector an argument was presented that the castings were intermediate products as the appellants wanted to manufacture identifiable machine parts like tub wheels and other parts of mining equipment. The Ap...

During the period from 15-7-1977 to 31-7-1977, they paid excise duty in excess of the old rate without taking into consideration changes made in the rate structure on 15-7-1977 since these changes were made known to them much later. They had requested the Range Superintendent to refund the excess duty paid by making a suitable endorsement in the R.T. 12 return for the month of July '77.The Range Superintendent did not allow the refund/credit and directed to file a separate refund claim to the proper officer and they did so accordingly.

In appeal the Appellate Collector of Central Excise, Bombay, held that having regard to th...
