Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Rhydburg Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-19-2004

Reported in: (2004)187CTR(Del)485; [2004]269ITR561(Delhi)

1. Counsel for the Revenue submits that the Tribunal has seriously erred in observing : In the case of CIT v. Nikko Auto Ltd. , that acceptance of payment by account payee cheque or account payee draft would be hazardous and cumbersome procedure and, thereforee, the case of the assessed was fully covered by the exceptions provided under Section 40A(3) r/w r. 6DD(j) and the Board's circular.2. We may note that we are not of the view that obtaining a cheque or a bank draft is hazardous and cumbersome procedure. Suffice it to say that in the present case, the Tribunal was of the opinion that the payee insisted for cash payment as observed by the learned CIT(A) and further that the transactions were found to be genuine. We may also note that in Attar Singh Gurmukh Singh v. ITO : [1991]191ITR667(SC) ; it is pointed out that terms of Section 40A(3) are not absolute. Consideration of business expediency and other relevant factors are not excluded. Genuine and bona fide transactions are not ta...

Reported in: (2004)187CTR(Del)558; [2005]272ITR379(Delhi)

1. An interesting question is raised by the learned counsel for the appellant with regard to the issue of claiming benefits under Section 11 of the IT Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as 'the said Act'). Under Rule 17 of the IT Rules, 1962, a person is required to file Form No. 10 giving specific details for accumulation. The learned counsel for the appellant (Revenue) contends that mere listing of the manifold objects of the trusts would not suffice. Each purpose of accumulation and the amount set apart thereforee must be specified before the benefit under Section 11 could be claimed.2. In the instant case, however, we find that the Tribunal gave great importance to the following factual aspects as indicated in para 34 of its order:'34. A reading of the aforesaid reveals the following : (i) The assessed had been allowed the benefit of Section 11 in other assessment years though the purposes mentioned in Form No. 10 were the same as during the year under consideration.(ii)The accumul...
