Carries on business

Carries on business, the mere fact that the expression, 'carries on business' is used along with the other expressions, does not mean that it would apply only to such persons to whom the other two expressions regarding residence or of personally working for gain would apply, Union of India v. Ladulal Jain, AIR 1963 SC 1681 (1683). [Constitution of India, Arts. 298, 300]Carries on business, as enumerated and 'personally works for gain' connotes two different meanings.

This conclusion is reinforced if clauses (a) and (b) of s. 12(2) are taken into account. It is also in consonance with the avowed object of s. 12 which is to ensure that the nation does not lose foreign exchange, M.G. Wagh v. Jay Engineering Works Ltd., AIR 1987 SC 670: (1987) 1 SCC 542: (1987) 1 SCR 798 [FERA, 1947, s. 12 (2)]...
