Issues: (i) Whether lease rent received by the official receiver was assessable under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession" or under the head "Other sources". (ii) Whether the lease rent received by the official receiver was taxable in the status of an association of persons or as an individual.
Issue (i): Whether lease rent received by the official receiver was assessable under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession" or under the head "Other sources".
Analysis: The lease rent had already been directed to be assessed under the head "Other sources" when received by the co-owners. The official receiver merely stepped into the shoes of the co-owners, and his position could not be different for the same receipt.
Conclusion: The lease rent received by the official receiver is assessable under the head "Other sources" and not under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession".
Issue (ii): Whether the lease rent received by the official receiver was taxable in the status of an association of persons or as an individual.
Analysis: An identical question had earlier been answered by the Court, holding that the lease rent received by the official receiver was not taxable in the status of an association of persons. Following that view, the status adopted could not be association of persons.
Conclusion: The official receiver is to be assessed in the status of an individual in respect of the lease rent received by him.
Final Conclusion: Both referred questions were answered in favour of the Revenue, and the reference was disposed of accordingly.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an official receiver merely represents the co-owners and receives lease rent in the same capacity, the receipt retains the character already attributable to the co-owners and the receiver is not assessable as an association of persons.
