Tribunal allows 80% annual depreciation, partner insurance deduction, and treats interest income as business.
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, allowing depreciation at 80% annually for the power evacuation facility, permitting the deduction of insurance premium for partners as Keyman Insurance, and treating interest income from money lending as business income. The decisions were based on precedents set by the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court and the Chandigarh Bench, dismissing the Revenue's appeal.
Issues: 1. Whether power evacuation facility constitutes a device for renewable energy and qualifies for depreciation at 80%. 2. Allowability of insurance premium paid for life of partners as Keyman Insurance. 3. Treatment of interest income from money lending business as business income.
Issue 1 - Power Evacuation Facility and Depreciation: The appeal addressed the question of whether the power evacuation facility qualifies as a renewable energy device for depreciation at 80%. The AO allowed depreciation at 7.5%, while the CIT(A) allowed it at 40%. The Tribunal referred to a decision by the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in a similar case and ruled in favor of the assessee, allowing depreciation at 80% annually for the entire year.
Issue 2 - Insurance Premium for Life of Partners: The AO disallowed the deduction of an insurance premium paid for the life of partners as Keyman Insurance. However, the CIT allowed the claim citing a decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court. The Tribunal, following precedence set by the Chandigarh Bench in similar cases, decided in favor of the assessee, allowing the deduction of the insurance premium as an allowable expenditure.
Issue 3 - Treatment of Interest Income from Money Lending Business: The AO treated interest income from money lending as income from other sources, but the CIT(A) ruled in favor of the assessee, considering it as business income. The Tribunal noted a decision by the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in a related case and decided against the Revenue, allowing the interest income to be assessed under the head of income from business and profession.
In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal of the Revenue, upholding the decisions in favor of the assessee regarding the depreciation of the power evacuation facility, the deduction of insurance premium for partners, and the treatment of interest income from the money lending business as business income.
