<h1>High Court rules in favor of assessee on section 40(b) disallowance issue</h1> The High Court ruled in favor of the assessee, stating that the provisions of section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act did not apply in the case involving the ... Firm, Business Expenditure, Disallowance Of Expenditure On I.T. Proceedings Issues involved:1. Interpretation of section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 regarding disallowance of interest paid to partners representing smaller Hindu undivided families.Detailed Analysis:1. Issue 1: Interpretation of section 40(b) of the Income-tax ActThe case involved questions regarding the disallowance of interest paid to partners representing smaller Hindu undivided families under section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Tribunal initially disallowed the interest paid to the smaller Hindu undivided families, invoking section 40(b). The Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) later found that the disallowance was not justified as the smaller Hindu undivided families were separate entities represented by the same karta of the bigger Hindu undivided family in the firm. The Tribunal upheld the disallowance, stating that the interest paid to partners, regardless of the capacity in which it was received, fell under the purview of section 40(b). However, the High Court disagreed, emphasizing that section 40(b) only applies when interest is paid to an individual as a partner in a representative capacity. In this case, the karta of the smaller Hindu undivided family was not representing them as a partner in the firm, but rather as a creditor. The court held that the provisions of section 40(b) were not applicable in this scenario.2. ConclusionThe High Court reframed the questions raised to consolidate them into a single issue regarding the disallowance of interest paid to partners representing smaller Hindu undivided families under section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act. The court ruled in favor of the assessee, stating that the provisions of section 40(b) did not apply in this case. The judgment clarified that section 40(b) only pertains to interest paid to an individual as a partner in a representative capacity, which was not the case with the smaller Hindu undivided families in this instance. The assessee was awarded costs of Rs. 750.
