Issues: Whether the trust could be assessed as an association of persons, or whether the income was required to be assessed in the hands of the beneficiaries where their shares were determinate and known.
Analysis: The beneficiaries were identified and their shares were fixed. On those findings, the income arising from the trust was required to be distributed to the beneficiaries and the trust could not be treated as an association of persons for assessment purposes. The rule applied in cases where beneficiaries' shares are indeterminate was held inapplicable because the present trust stood on a different factual footing.
Conclusion: The provisions of section 161(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, were not applicable, and the trust could not be assessed as an association of persons.
