Issues: Whether interest paid on delayed payment of compensation or unpaid price for government-taken assets constitutes income from other sources as revenue receipt, or forms part of the capital receipt.
Analysis: The amount was paid not as part of the price of the asset but as interest for the period during which the unpaid price remained with the transferee. Such interest is attributable to the delay in payment and does not assume the character of the underlying capital receipt. The distinction between compensation itself and interest on delayed payment was applied consistently with the principle that statutory interest on delayed compensation is taxable as revenue receipt.
Conclusion: The interest amount is a revenue receipt and is taxable as income from other sources; the question is answered in favour of the Revenue and against the assessee.
