Issues: Whether the sum received as share premium and transferred to reserves was to be added to the assessee's paid-up capital for computing rebate under the Finance Act, 1956, and whether section 78 of the Companies Act, 1956, applied to banking companies.
Analysis: The expression "paid-up capital" in the Finance Act, 1956, included premium received in cash on issue of shares standing to the credit of the share premium account, and section 78(3) of the Companies Act, 1956, operated as a deeming provision for premia received before the commencement of that Act, provided the amount formed an identifiable part of the company's reserves. The Banking Companies Act, 1949 did not expressly exclude section 78 of the Companies Act, 1956, although it excluded several other provisions, so the general application of section 78 remained available to banking companies. On the facts, the Tribunal found that the premium amount was first entered as share premium and then carried forward in reserves as an identifiable sum, with no appropriation or write-off.
Conclusion: The amount of Rs. 45,50,000 was rightly added to the assessee's paid-up capital for rebate purposes, and the question was answered in the affirmative.
Ratio Decidendi: A share premium amount received before the commencement of the Companies Act, 1956 is includible for the purpose of the Finance Act rebate computation if it is an identifiable part of reserves and is not expressly excluded by the special statute governing the assessee.
