Commissioner of Income-tax Vs. Dapur Pharma

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-29-2008

Reported in: [2009]177TAXMAN454(Delhi)

ORDER1. This appeal is directed against the order dated 30-11 -2007 passed by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in ITA No. 3975/Delhi/2006 pertaining to the assessment year 2004-05.2. The only issue sought to be raised in the present appeal relates to the treatment given to the provision made for doubtful debts. According to the Assessing Officer this would be a provision for liability and, therefore, Explanation (c) to Section 115JB(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 was applicable. Consequently, the Assessing Officer made the addition in respect of provision made by the assessee for doubtful debts. However, the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal both regarded the said provision as not a provision for liability but a provision for diminution in the value of the assets. Consequently, they held that Explanation (c) to Section 115JB(2) of the said Act did not come into play.3. We find that the same view has been taken by this Court in CIT v. Etcher Ltd. [2006] 287 ITR 1701...

Badar Durrez Ahmed, J.1. This appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the 'said Act') is directed against the Tribunal's order dated 10.03.2004 pertaining to the assessment year 2000-2001.2. The learned Counsel for the appellant/revenue pressed two issues before this Court. One was with regard to the payment made to expatriates in the sum of Rs. 4,03,31,726/-. According to the revenue the said payment could not be treated as an accrued liability in the year in question because the Reserve Bank of India's permission for such remittances had been received in the subsequent year.

The other issue sought to be raised by the revenue pertains to the provision made for bad/doubtful debts for the purposes of computing book profits under Section 115JA of the said Act.
