The Tribunal has found that there was no prohibition in law against the declaration of a higher percentage of dividend and that the figure mentioned in the letter of the Reserve Bank was only the figure which the assessee itself had proposed to the Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank merely gave the permission that had been sought. - Tribunal, therefore, rightly held that the assessee is liable to be taxed on the undistributed portion of the income The High Court of Madras ruled that a banking company was liable to pay additional tax under section 104 for not distributing the required dividend amount despite permission from the Reserve Bank.
