Krishi Utpanna Bazar Samiti Vs. Income-tax Officer and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-29-1984

Reported in: [1986]158ITR742(Bom)

Mohta, J.1. Though the notices under sections 139(2) and 148 of the Income-tax Act and so also certain assessment orders passed by the income-tax authorities are challenged in this batch of petitions, the real controversy centres round a point whether the Market Committee as defined under section 2(j) of the Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1963 (APMC Act), is a local authority as contemplated under section 10(20) of the Income-tax Act (I.T. Act).2. Section 10 which falls in Chapter III of the Income-tax Act gives a long list of incomes not included in total income. One such category is to be found in section 10(20) which reads thus :'the income of a local authority which is chargeable under the head 'Interest on securities', 'Income from house property', 'Capital gains' or 'Income from other sources' or from a trade or business carried on by it which accrues or arises from the supply of a commodity or service (not being water or electricity) within its own ...

1. These two cross-appeals are by the assessee and the revenue against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals), dated 10-2-1982. The only issue for our consideration in these cross-appeals is, whether the Commissioner (Appeals) has erred in holding that 50 per cent of the export commission of Rs. 11,87,683 is taxable under Section 9(1)(vi) and Section 9(1)(vii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act'). The assessee claimed that commission in question is not taxable, while the revenue claimed that the entire commission is taxable.2. The relevant facts are that the assessee has received a sum of Rs. 11,87,683 as export commission from Ceat Tyres of India Ltd. and claimed before the ITO that this is not taxable. The assessee had entered into an agreement with Ceat Tyres of India Ltd. on 9-9-1977.

Smt. Sujata V. Manohar, J.1. Respondents M/s. Saravagi Industries are manufacturers of laminated labels. For the manufacturer of laminated labels the assessee (respondents) had purchased iron and steel scrap sheets.

After the pieces were so cut, the remnants were sold as scrap. For the assessment period 1st April, 1968 to 31st March, 1969 the Sales Tax Officer held that the assessee was not entitled to a set-off under rule 41-A of the Bombay Sales Tax Rules, 1959 to the extent proportionate to the scrap which was resold by the assessee. The sales Tax Officer worked out the quantity of resale as 11%. Hence he disallowed set-off under rule 41-A proportionately which worked out to a 'magnificent' sum of Rs. 165.
