| Decision |
The Kerala High Court upheld the decision of the Kerala Agricultural Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, which ruled that the two provisos of section 10(1) of the Kerala Agricultural Income-tax Act, 1950, apply only to clause (e) of that section. The court clarified that the first proviso, which limits exemptions to one-sixth of the total agricultural income or Rs. 6,000, whichever is less, is specifically related to sums paid for life insurance. It was determined that the Tribunal was justified in its interpretation that the provisos do not extend to other clauses under section 10(1). The ruling emphasizes the specific nature of tax exemptions under the Kerala Agricultural Income-tax Act, particularly regarding life insurance payments, and clarifies the scope of the exemptions available to the assessee. |
