Tax Tribunal Grants Deduction for House Property Income
The ITAT Mumbai allowed the appeal of the assessee, directing the AO to allow the deduction u/s.24 in respect of the income from the House Property. The judgment was pronounced on 16/02/2018.
Issues: Disallowance of deduction claimed by assessee u/s.24 in respect of income from House Property.
Analysis: The appeal was filed against the order of CIT(A)-1, Mumbai for A.Y. 2012-13 regarding the disallowance of deduction claimed by the assessee u/s.24 in relation to income from House Property. The assessee, a trust registered with DIT (E), Mumbai, filed its return of income showing total income at Rs. Nil. However, the AO disallowed the claim of deduction u/s.24 in respect of income from house property. The assessee had shown rent income of Rs. 30,36,025 after claiming municipal taxes and deduction u/s.24(a) of the IT Act @ 30% of Rs. 13,01,154. The AO disallowed the claim, and the CIT(A) confirmed this decision.
The AO disallowed the deduction u/s.24 on the grounds that the assessee, being a trust, had to compute income commercially. However, the ITAT Mumbai, while considering the appeal, referred to judgments by various High Courts and the Supreme Court. The Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, in the case of Tiny Tots Education Society, held that depreciation can be claimed even if the entire amount of assets is shown as utilization of funds. Similarly, the jurisdictional High Court in the case of Institute of Banking Personnel Selection ruled that depreciation on fixed assets must be allowed even if the entire amount was shown as utilization of funds. The ITAT Mumbai applied these legal principles and directed the AO to allow the deduction u/s.24 as claimed by the assessee.
In conclusion, the ITAT Mumbai allowed the appeal of the assessee, directing the AO to allow the deduction u/s.24 in respect of the income from the House Property. The judgment was pronounced on 16/02/2018.
