Court: Mumbai Nagpur

Decided on: Jan-13-2016

Oral Judgment: (B.P. Dharmadhikari, J.) 1. The questions which arise for adjudication in these matters as formulated are common. It is not in dispute that the contribution by the assessee as the employer and the provisions made to honour the commitment in terms of the National Coal Wage Agreement [NCWA] has been already accepted by this Court and the challenge of Revenue thereto is rejected. We find that after expiry of the earlier NCWA when the negotiations were going on, the assessee made the provision for increments on estimate basis. It was certain that as per the NCWA under negotiations, the wage rise was inevitable. Hence, in corresponding previous year, the provision has been made for the incremental arrears. Thus, the liability was certain and to crystallize after the NCWA was finalized. 2. In this situation, we find that the provision was made for known liability and therefore the approach by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur [ITAT] cannot be said to be u...
