Mahendra Singh Vs. Wealth-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-15-1992

Reported in: (1993)44ITD1(Kol.)

1. This order will dispose of 10 appeals. In all the 10 appeals the only point involved is whether the assessees are entitled to the exemption under Section 5(1)(xvia) of the Wealth-tax Act in respect of National Defence Gold Bonds, 1980, for the assessment years 1987-88 and 1988-89.2. The objection of the department to granting the exemption is that the bonds have matured on 27-10-1980 and thereafter the Reserve Bank of India holds the gold in trust for the assessee and, therefore, the character of the Bonds as Bonds has ceased and the value of the gold has to be included in the assessments. The other minor objection raised by the department is based on the decision of the Supreme Court in McDowell & Co. Ltd. v. CTO [1985] 154 ITR 148.3. The objection of the department cannot be upheld in view of the provisions of the Public Debt Act, 1944 and the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881. We shall advert to those provisions a little later after noticing the preliminary objection of the Ld...
