About Udaipur City

Udaipur was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udaisingh II as the first capital of Mewar Kingdom. It is a popular tourist destination and known for its history, culture, scenic locations and the Rajput era palaces.

Udaipur is often referred to as the ‘Venice of the East’ or ‘The City of Lakes’. It is located around azure water lakes and is hemmed in by lush green hills of Aravallis stretching away in every direction. Beside shimmering lakes like Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Swaroop Sagar, Rangsagar, Doodh Talai Lake, Udaipur has grand palaces, temples, havelis and countless narrow timeless streets, ancient bazaars, a lively arts scene, endless tempting shops and some lovely countryside to explore on wheels, feet or horseback.

UNREPORTED DECISIONS (Direct Taxes)

1. Bogus capital gains from penny stocks: sec 68

If the DMAT account and contract note show details of the share transactions and the AO has not proved the transactions to be bogus, the capital gains earned on the said transactions cannot be treated as unaccounted income u/s 68. The fact that the broker was tainted and violated SEBI regulations would not make assessee’s transactions bogus.

Nowhere the AO has alleged that the transaction by the assessee with these particular broker or share was bogus, merely because the investigation was done by SEBI against broker or his activity, assessee cannot be said to have entered into ingenuine transaction, insofar as assessee is not concerned with the activity of the broker and have no control over the same.

ITO vs. Arvind Kumar Jain HUF (ITAT Mumbai) ITA No. 4862/MUM/2014 ;A Y: 2005-06 ; dt 18/9/2017.

2. Limitation period- For rectification application :S. 254(2)

The amendment to s. 254(2) to curtail the limitation period for filing rectification applications to six months from four years is prospective and applicable to appeal orders passed after 01/06/2016 and not the orders passed prior to 01/06/2016. The contrary view in Lavanya Land (Mum ITAT) is not good law in view of K. Ravindranathan Nair (SC) wherein Hon’ble Supreme Court observed that right to appeal is vested in the litigant at the commencement of Lis and therefore, such vested right cannot be taken away and cannot be impaired or made more stringent by any subsequent legislation unless the subsequent legislation said so either expressly or by necessary intendment. An intention in interfere or impair a vested right cannot be presumed unless such intention be clearly manifested by the express words or by necessary implication.

3. Defaults on paying self assessment tax while filing the return of income is liable for penalty if he files a revised return of income and pays the tax thereon at the time of filing the revised return of income: S. 140A/ 221(1):

The Special Bench had to consider the following important question of law:

“Whether an assessee is liable to penalty under section 221(1) of the Act in a case in which though the assessee has not paid the self assessment tax under section 140A, while filing the return of income, but revises the income, by filing revised return of income, and pays the tax on the revised return of income at the time of filing the revised return of income?”

HELD by the Special Bench:

(i) As a plain reading of the above statutory provisions would show, the lapse, referred to in section 140A(1), is the failure “to pay such (admitted) tax together with interest payable under any provision of this Act for any delay in furnishing the return or any default or delay in payment of advance tax, before furnishing the return” and the lapses punishable under section 221(1) are the lapses in respect of “default in making a payment of tax”. The default triggering the penal liability under section 221(1) is the default in making payment of tax, and that the default in payment is tax is with reference to the filing of the income tax return. Viewed thus, default is committed at the point of time when a return of income is filed without making payment of the admitted tax liability. Clearly, therefore, the assessee committed a default in not paying the admitted tax liability when it filed the original income tax return, without payment of admitted tax liability, on 30th September 2008. To this extent, there is no dispute or ambiguity at all. The question then arises as to what is the impact of filing a revised income tax return. To the extent it pertains to the assessment proceedings, undoubtedly inasmuch as it is the validly revised return is the starting point for the assessment of income, the original income tax return ceases to be relevant. However, that substitution of income tax return is only for the purposes of assessment of income. Subsequent payment of tax, whether with or without revision of income tax return, is thus of no help to the assessee so far as penal consequences under section 221(1) are concerned.

UNREPORTED DECISIONS (Service Tax)By Vinay Jain, Chartered Accountant, & Sachin Mishra, Advocate

1. Whether the activity of management and maintenance of industrial plots under MID Act, 1961 by MIDC is leviable to service tax under Finance Act, 1994? Whether the aforesaid activity undertaken by the MIDC is statutory function and not liable to service tax?

Facts & Pleadings: M/s MIDC (hereinafter referred to as “the Respondents”) are established under Maharashtra Industrial Development Act, 1961. The purpose of its formation is to promote and assist in establishment, growth and development of industries in the State of Maharashtra. The Respondents are rendering several services such as management and maintenance of the industrial area developed by it and are also collecting certain charges from the plot holders.

According to the Appellant i.e. the department, the services provided by the Respondents to the plot holders are covered under the category of ‘management, maintenance and repairs’ services under section 65 (64) of Finance Act, 1994. The Appellant has further alleged that the activity performed by the Respondents is not a part of its statutory functions and hence, the charges collected by the Respondents for performing/ rendering such services is leviable to service tax under the provisions of Finance Act, 1994.

The Respondents have denied the allegations of the Appellants by relying upon the decisions of Apex Court in the case of Ramtanu Co-operative Housing Society and Anr. vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors. AIR 1970 SC 1771 and Managing Director, Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation and Ors. vs. Hari Om Enterprises and Anr., 2009 16 SCC 208 to submit that the Respondents are a wing of the State Government which performs statutory functions and hence they are eligible for exemption under Circular No. 89/7/2006 dated 18.12.2006.

Judgment: The Hon’ble High Court agreeing with the contentions of the Respondent has held that the activities such as management and maintenance of the industrial area are statutory obligations of the Respondents as provided under Section 14 of the MID Act, 1961. Further, relying on the two decisions of Hon’ble Supreme Court mentioned above and on CBEC Circular dated 18-12-2006, the Hon’ble High Court has held that the Respondents are acting as a wing of the Government. Thus, the Respondents are eligible for exemption to public authorities provided under Circular No. 89/7/2006 dated 18.12.2006. The Hon’ble court also imposed cost on the department for unnecessary involving MIDC in such litigation.

2. Whether the collection agency services rendered by the assignor of debt in a securitisation transaction be leviable to service tax under the category of ‘Business Auxiliary Services’?

Facts & Pleadings: M/s Sundaram Finance Limited (hereinafter referred to as “SFL”) is a non-banking financial company. SFL is in the business of extending loans to various clients for purchase of vehicle etc. The loans are paid back on regular EMI basis. SFL entered into agreement, with a Trust/Special Purpose Vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “SPV”) to whom SFL has sold these loan receivables. Simultaneously, SFL also entered agreement with SPV which mandate SFL to collect all these loan receivables on the fixed periodicity and deposit the same with SPV. For such operation of receiving EMI payments and remitting the same to SPV, SFL is paid a consideration called as “Securitisation Service Fee”.

According to the department, the activity of collection of receivables which are mandated as per the agreements and entitles SFL “Securitisation Service Fee” is clearly an activity which is incidental or auxiliary to the support service relating to billing, collection, recovery of cheque, remittance of amount and will be correctly liable to service tax under the tax entries ‘Business Auxiliary Service’ as the same will fall under clause (iv) of Section 65(19) prior to 10-9-2004. Thereafter, it will fall under clause (vi) read with clause (vii) of the said tax entry.

Judgment: The Hon’ble CESTAT while rejecting the claims of the Revenue has held that the contractual arrangements between SFL & the SPV is on principal to principal basis and the obligation to collect the cheque and deposit as per the schedule of agreements is nothing but an obligation in pursuance of the main agreements of upfront sale of future receivables. The Hon’ble Tribunal has further held that the cheques and other bills collected by SFL are on their own account which are further passed on in terms of agreement with the SPV. Hence there is no tripartite arrangement between SFL, SPV and the customers. Even in case of non-collection of such amounts from borrower, SFL must discharge the amount due to SPV, from their resources. This will only indicate that the transaction is a financial arrangement on principal to principal basis. In other words, the collection activity undertaken by the SFL is merely a condition of the main contract and not a separate activity for consideration and hence, the activity will not be classifiable under the category of Business Auxiliary Service.
