ITAT Upholds Exemption for Dividend Income: Revenue Appeal Dismissed
The ITAT dismissed the Revenue's appeal and affirmed the CIT(A) order allowing the assessee's claim of exemption under section 10(34) for dividend income received during the year. The ITAT held that the exemption under section 10 cannot be taxed under sections 11 to 13 of the Act, in line with various judgments cited, including those of the Hon. ITAT Mumbai and Hon. Bombay High Court supporting the exemption under section 10 irrespective of the allowance of deduction under section 11.
Issues involved: Appeal against order of CIT(A) regarding deletion of disallowance of depreciation claim.
Analysis: 1. The Revenue filed an appeal against the CIT(A) order for the A.Y.2012-13 concerning the disallowance of the assessee's claim of depreciation.
2. The facts revealed that the assessee, a trust registered under various sections, filed its return of income declaring total income at Rs. Nil. The AO completed the assessment disallowing exemption u/s. 10(34).
3. The CIT(A) directed the AO to allow the assessee's claim of exemption u/s. 10(34) in respect of dividend income received during the year after due verification. The CIT(A) considered various judgments, including those of Hon. ITAT Mumbai and Hon. Bombay High Court, supporting the exemption u/s. 10 irrespective of the allowance of deduction u/s. 11.
4. The appellant relied on judgments emphasizing that income exempt u/s. 10 cannot be taxed under sections 11 to 13 of the Act. The CIT(A) upheld the exemption of dividend income under sections 10(34), 10(35), and 10(38) based on the decisions cited.
5. The Revenue appealed the CIT(A) order, arguing that the issue was covered by the decision of the Bombay High Court in the case of Jasubhai Foundation. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A) order, stating that there was no infirmity in allowing the exemption u/s. 10(34) based on the High Court's decision.
6. Consequently, the ITAT dismissed the Revenue's appeal, affirming the CIT(A) order to allow the assessee's claim of exemption u/s. 10(34) for dividend income received during the year.
