Capt. A.L. Kapoor Vs. First Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-25-1988

Reported in: (1989)28ITD296(Mum.)

1. We are concerned in this appeal with the question whether the salary earned by an Indian citizen working on a ship registered in India outside the territorial waters of India can be taxed.2. The assessee was a captain of a ship registered in India. For the period relevant to the assessment year in question, he was on the main land of India only for 6 days, while for the remaining period, he was on board the ship registered in India. The assessee's contention was that he was a non-resident and so the salary income was not taxable.The ITO however held that since the assessee was an employee of the Indian company, his income was taxable. He has noted that although the assessee had claimed that the Maritime Union had approached the Central Board of Direct Taxes, no exemption certificate was produced before him. Before the Commissioner, the assessee relied upon the interpretation of Section 2(25A) which defines 'India' and does not include ship registered in India. He also contended tha...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-24-1988

Reported in: 1988(3)BomCR47; 1988MhLJ373

ORDER1. This revision is directed against the order dt. 17-2-1988 passed by Shri K. J. Rohi, Assistant Sessions Judge, Nagpur (In-charge Judge of the Small Causes Court, Nagpur) on Exh. 1 in Small Cause Darkhast No. 103 of 1988, whereby the learned Judge directed the issue of warrant of possession.2. The facts giving rise to this revision are rather unusual. The applicant is a tenant of house situated on plot No. 3, Shirkey Layout, Chhaoni, Nagpur, since the month of April, 1985 on monthly rent of Rs. 1800/-. The non-applicant is the owner of the said premises and hence the landlord of the applicant. Since the applicant was not paying the rent regularly, the non-applicant applied for distress warrant before the Court of Small Causes, Nagpur, vide Application No. 14 of 1986 and the moveables belonging to the applicant came to be attached. At the relevant time the rent of Rs. 16,200/- was outstanding against him. Even thereafter the applicant failed to pay the rent and further outstandin...

Sang Fasteners (Pvt.) Ltd. Vs. Union of India

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-24-1988

Reported in: 1988(17)LC315(Bombay); 1988(36)ELT591(Bom)

1. The petitioners are manufacturers of products known as nuts bolts and screws which are covered by Tariff Item No. 52 of the Central Excises and Salt Act. Between the period from 1st April, 1975 to 31st March 1976, the value of their total production did not exceed Rs. 5 lakhs. In terms of the notification dated 26-7-1971 (issued on 26th of July, 1971), bolts, nuts and screws, were not liable to any excise duty if the total production of the said items for home consumption did not exceed the value of Rs. 5 lakhs. The petitioners were, therefore, not liable to pay excise duty. However, they did pay excise duty to the extent of Rs. 47,792,52 without realising, when they paid the said amount, that the total value of their production for the year in question would not exceed Rs. 5 lakhs. That the value of the petitioners' total production did not exceed Rs. 5 lakhs is an admitted position because it has been mentioned in the petition that an officer of the Excise Department has certified...
