Case Number IT APPEAL No. 113 OF 1999
Decision Date Jul 17, 2007
Hearing Date Feb 05, 2003
Decision The appeal under section 260A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 was admitted on February 5, 2003. The court formulated the substantial question of law regarding the levy of interest under sections 234B and 234C of the Act once income-tax is determined under section 115J of the Act. The court ruled that since interest is not leviable under the specified sections once income-tax is determined under section 115J, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal's decision was justified. The appeal was dismissed based on the precedents set by the Supreme Court in CIT v. Kwality Biscuits Ltd.
Summary This case revolves around the interpretation of sections 234A, 234B, and 234C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The substantial question of law addressed was whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal rightly held that no interest under sections 234B and 234C is chargeable when income-tax is determined under section 115J. The court concluded that the Tribunal was justified based on previous rulings, notably from the Supreme Court in CIT v. Kwality Biscuits Ltd. The decision highlights critical aspects of income tax assessment and interest applicability, making it significant for tax law practitioners and businesses alike. It reinforces the understanding of tax liabilities and the legal framework surrounding them, providing clarity on the application of interest provisions under the Income Tax Act.
