Gross total income

Gross total income, in view of s. 47(viii), the com-pensation which become payable to the appellant as a result of the acquisition of its agricultural land in 1962, was totally exempt from s. 45. Con-sequently, it did not amount to 'income' within the scope of section 2(24)(vi) as there was no capital gain within the meaning of s. 45. It was also not to be included while computing the total income of the appellant as defined in s. 2(45) of the Act. Thus, the amount of compensation received by the appellant could not have formed part of the 'gross total income' within the meaning of section 109(iv) of the Act, Income Tax Act, 1961 ss. 2(24)(vi), 2(45), 45, 47(viii) and ss. 109(iv) & (i); Delhi Farming & Construction (P) Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax Delhi, (2003) 5 SCC 36; Also Caradamom Marketing Co. (Trav.) Ltd. v. CIT, (1986) 158 ITR 621 (Ker)....


Such income by way of dividends

Such income by way of dividends, the words 'such income by way of dividends' in s. 80M of Income Tax Act, is referable not only to the category of income included in the gross total income but also to the quantum of the income so included. On a plain grammatical construction, it is obvious that the words 'such income by way of dividends' must have reference to the income by way of dividends mentioned earlier and that would be income by way of dividends from a domestic company which is included in the gross total income, Disributors (Baroda) Pvt. Ltd. v. Union of India, AIR 1985 SC 1585: (1986) 1 SCC 43: (1985) Supp 1 SCR 778....


Investment company

Investment company, an 'investment company' was defined in s. 109(i) of the Act as meaning a com-pany whose business consisted wholly or mainly in the dealing in or holding of investments. The statutory percentage in the case of an investment company (whether Indian company or not) was fixed at 90 per cent by S. 109 (iii)(1) of the Act. It is significant that even in this Act, the restricted definition of the expression 'investment company' as appearing in s. 372(11) of the Companies Act, 1956 was not adopted by the Legislature. By Finance Act, 1966, which came into force with effect from April 1, 1966, the meaning of the term 'investment company' was clarified by amending clause (ii) of S. 109 and providing therein that investment company meant a company whose gross total income consisted mainly of income which, if it had been the income of an individual, would have been regarded as unearned income, Nawn Estate (P) Ltd. v. CIT, AIR 1977 SC 153 (161): (1977) 1 SCR 798: (1977) 1 SCC 7.I...
