Bank of Credit and Commerce Vs. Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-05-1990

Reported in: (1991)37ITD293(Mum.)

1. This is an appeal by the assessee against the order of the CIT (Appeals) for the assessment year 1984-85.2. The appellant herein is a non-resident banking company. The appellant has substantially raised three grounds in the present appeal which are dealt with seriatim.3. The first ground is that the CIT (Appeals) erred in rejecting the appellant's claim under Section 20 of the Act for deduction of proportionate expenses reasonably expended to earn interest on securities while computing income chargeable under the head "interest on securities" and thereby enhancing the disallowances under Sections 37 and 40A(5) of the Act. The CIT(Appeals) has dealt with this issue in para-2 of his order. It was the case of the appellant before the CIT (Appeals) that the ITO should have apportioned the gross expenditure between its two sources of income assessable under the head "interest on securities" and the head "profits and gains from business" and thereafter made disallowance under Section 40A...

Shantilal Khushaldas and Brothers P. Ltd., in Re Smt. Manulanaben Bapa ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-02-1990

Reported in: [1991]70CompCas195(Bom)

H. Suresh J.1. If one reads the agreement dated February 9, 1987, together with the agreement dated February 6, 1987, it becomes clear that the claim of other petitioner is not just a simple claim without any demur on the part of company. Inn my view, both the agreements have to be read together and it was a matter of bargain between the two parties when the present owners took over the company with all its assets and liabilities. It is in this sense that the claim of the company is bona fide and it is not a case where the company should be wound up. 2. To prove their bona fides, the company has voluntarily deposited Rs. 121,70,500 in this court. 3. Mr. relied on the case of Madhusudan Gordhandas and Co. v. Madhu Woollen Industries P. Ltd., : [1972]2SCR201 and he submits that it is not enough that the company has the ability to pay the debt but if the company chooses not to pay a particular debt, the court would have no choice but to pass an order of winding up. That of course, is subj...
