Court: Delhi

Decided on: Feb-13-2003

Reported in: (2003)185CTR(Del)662; [2004]266ITR195(Delhi)

D.K. Jain, J.1. At the instance of Revenue, the Tribunal, New Delhi, has referred under Section 256(1) of the IT Act, 1961, the following question for our opinion :'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in upholding the determination of the perquisite value of the accommodation, furniture, electricity and water at Rs. 5,784,'2. The reference pertains to the asst. yr. 1981-82. The issue is with respect to the determination of the value of perquisite provided to the respondent-assessed by his employer by way of rent-free accommodation, furniture, electricity and water.3. From the order of the Tribunal we find that though the Tribunal has referred to its earlier Orders passed in the cases of the assessed and other directors of the same Company, but in the penultimate paragraph of its order, except for relying on the said order, it has not recorded any reason for deciding the issue in favor of the assessed.4. Similar issue had come up for...

As is evident from the format of the question, the issue involved is purely legal and, thereforee, we deem it unnecessary to state the facts. Suffice it to note that the controversy involved is as to whether while determining the market value of un-quoted shares of a company, as per the procedure prescribed in rule 1D of the Wealth Tax Rules, which amount as 'provision for taxation' made by the assessed in the balance sheet in the column 'liabilities' is to be treated as liability.3.
