Salami/Agricultural income

Salami/Agricultural income, 'salami' is a compulsory payment by the tenant to the landlord at the inception of the tenancy. It is really a payment by the tenant to the landlord for being allowed to tale possession of the land for cultivation under the lease. Salami is not rent and it could not be called revenue within the meaning of the word used in the definition of agricultural income under s. 2(1)(a) of the Assam Agricultural Income Tax Act, 1939 because it was a payment to the landlord by the tenant as a consideration for the transfer of a right in zamindari lands owned by the landlord. It has all the characteristics of a capital payment and is not revenue, Member for the Board of Agricultural Income Tax v. Sindhurani Chaudhurani, AIR 1957 SC 729 (733): (1957) SCR 1019.

Income

Income, s. 4 of the Income-tax Act, defines the 'total income' to include all income, profits and gains from whatever source deprived. The definition of 'income' in Shaw Wallace & Co. case, 1932 (59) IA 206, as a periodical monetary return coming in with some sort of regularity, or expected regularity, from definite sources must be read with reference to the peculiar facts of that case. Money received 'under consequential loss policies, were income within the meaning of s. 2(6c) of the Income Tax Act, Raghuvanshi Mills Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax, AIR 1953 SC 4: (1953) SCR 177.Income connotes a periodical monetary return 'coming in' with some sort of regularity, or expected regularity from definite sources, E.D.

Premium and rent

Premium and rent, when the interest of the lessor is parted with for a price paid is premium or salami. But the periodical payments made for the continuous enjoyment of the benefits under the lease are in the nature of rent. The former is a capital income and the latter a revenue receipt. There may be circumstances where the parties may camouflage the real nature of the transaction by using clever phraseology. In some cases, the so-called premium is in fact advance rent and in others rent is deferred price. It is not the form but the substance of the transaction that matters. The nomenclature used may not be decisive or con-clusive but it helps the Court, having regard to the other circumstances, to ascertain the intention of the parties, CIT v. Panbori Tea Co. Ltd., AIR 1965 SC 1871 (1873): (1965) 3 SCR 811. [T.P. Act, 1882, s. 105]...
