Babulal Kanji Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-05-1946

Reported in: (1946)48BOMLR505

Leonard Stone, Kt., C.J.1. This is a reference under Section 66 of the Indian Income-tax Act and the question referred to us is, whether, upon the facts found by the Tribunal, the sum of Rs. 5,276 is a permissible deduction under Section 15(1) of the-Indian Income-tax Act. The sum of Rs. 5,276 represents the larger sum of Rs. 5,813, being the total annual premium of the policy of insurance to which I am about to refer. The sum of Rs. 5,813 has been scaled down to Rs. 5,276, because the assessee has another insurance policy and the premiums on the two policies added together exceed the total exemption allowed by the Income-tax Act. The question as framed in this reference in substance raises two questions of law for our consideration, first, has there been an insurance on the life of the assessee, and, if so, secondly, what was the amount of the animal premium paid in the accounting year, which is 1942-43, for effecting such insurance. The relevant section of the Act provides: 15. (1) '...

The assessment out of which the question arises is the assessment upon, the Loyal Motor Service Co., Ltd., in respect of the financial year 1943/44 of that company, and the question formulated is in these terms:Whether in the circumstances of the ease the sum of Us. 4,130 paid as bonus to the shareholder employees of the assessee company in the account year is allowable as deduction under the provisions of Section 10 (2) (a:) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922 ?2. The question raised is a short one but it is not one which is free from difficulty. The Indian Income-tax Act provides by Section 6 for five heads of income, profits or gains to be brought to tax and the first head is 'Salaries' whilst the fourth is 'Profits and Gains of Business, Profession or Vocation,'3. It is Section 7 which deals with salaries and it is to be noted th...
