Issues:
1. Whether the provision for gratuity is an ascertained liability for computing book profit under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act.
Analysis:
Issue 1:
The main issue in this case was whether the provision for gratuity should be considered an ascertained liability for the purpose of computing book profit under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act. The Revenue contended that the provision for gratuity should be added for computing book profit, relying on the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Shree Sajjan Mills Ltd. vs. CIT. On the other hand, the assessee argued that the issue was already decided in their favor by the ITAT for previous assessment years. The Tribunal noted that the same issue was decided in favor of the assessee by the ITAT for AY 2004-05 and AY 2005-06. The Tribunal referred to specific judgments from earlier years where the issue was decided in favor of the assessee. It was concluded that since the issue was already examined by the Coordinate Bench in earlier years in favor of the assessee, a consistent view should be maintained. Therefore, the Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's ground of appeal regarding the provision for gratuity as an ascertained liability for computing book profit under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act.
In conclusion, the Tribunal partly allowed the appeal of the Revenue, and the order was pronounced on October 21, 2015, in Ahmedabad.
