D Ltd., carrying on business in manufacture, sale and export of tyres, tubes and accessories,

has disclosed a net profit of Rs.21,00,000 in its P & L account for the period ended March 31,

2011. The company follows the mercantile system of accounting :

(a) A sum of Rs.20,000 is debited to compensation account. The company had placed an

order for machinery to manufacture tyre with a UK company. However, due to a sudden

increase in the price of machinery by the vendor, the assessee, had to cancel the contract,

in lieu of compensation The company claims the said amount as deduction on revenue

account or, in the alternate, as loss under the head “Capital gains” as the payment was

made towards extinguishment of right to acquire a capital asset.

(b) “Loss on export of accessories account” shows a debit of Rs. 4 lakh. In this connection it

is explained that two trucks belonging to the company carrying tyres accessories were

intercepted at the international border and seized by customs authorities for illegal export.

The goods were confiscated by the customs authorities and a fine of Rs.2 lakh was levied.

The company claims the value of confiscated goods as a trading loss under section 28 and the

payment of the fine of Rs.2 lakh which is debited to rates and taxes account as on

expenditure in the course of business under section 37(1).

(c) The company had set up a separate unit for manufacture of plastic tubes at Bangalore in

1995. The said unit suffered heavy losses. As a result the same was closed down and the plant

and machinery were sold away. The company, however, claims unabsorbed depreciation

amounting to Rs.8 lakh in its return of income. It is not debited to the profit and loss account.

(d) During the previous year 1995-96, the assessee-company acquired 5,000 shares of E Ltd.,

an Indian company,as a result, the entire share capital of the said company is now held by the

assessee-company. In May 2010, the assessee-company sold to E Ltd. plant and machinery

for Rs.6,00,000. The actual cost is ascertained at Rs.4,00,000 and written down value at

Rs.1,50,000.

(e) In the years 2000-2001 and 2001-02, the Government of India arranged exports of tyres

and tubes through the Federation of Tyre Dealers of which the company was a member. The

exports which were made to For Eastern countries resulted in loss which was shared by all

members including the company. The Federation thereafter took up the questions of

reimbursement of losses with the Government, which after protracted discussion and

correspondence agreed to grant a subsidy calculated at a certain percentage of exports. The

assessee-company received its share of subsidy amounting to Rs.3 lakh in the previous year.

The amount stands credited to the “Capital reserve account” and claimed as exempt
