Tribunal allows assessee's appeal on interest taxability under Land Acquisition Act
The Appellate Tribunal allowed the Miscellaneous Application filed by the assessee regarding the taxability of interest received on compensation under the Land Acquisition Act. The Tribunal acknowledged its previous error in not considering specific provisions of the Income Tax Act relied upon by lower authorities. The appeal was recalled for the limited purpose of determining the applicability of the relevant sections. The order was pronounced on August 20, 2021, directing the appeal to be fixed for further hearing.
Issues: Taxability of interest received on compensation under the Land Acquisition Act under sections 145A and 56(2)(viii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Analysis: The Appellate Tribunal received a Miscellaneous Petition from the Revenue seeking the recall of an order dated 01.07.2019 related to the assessment year 2013-14. Despite due notice, the assessee did not appear for the hearing, leading to the disposal of the Miscellaneous Application after hearing the ld. CIT-DR. The issue in question pertains to the taxability of interest received on compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, with reference to sections 145A and 56(2)(viii) of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal had previously allowed the appeal filed by the assessee based on certain court decisions without considering the applicability of the aforementioned provisions of the Act.
Upon hearing the ld. CIT-DR and examining the material on record, it was evident that the Assessing Officer and the ld. CIT(A) had relied on sections 145A and 56(2)(viii) of the Act to tax the interest received on compensation. However, the Tribunal had deleted the additions without taking into account these provisions. The Tribunal acknowledged the mistake of not considering the specific provisions of the Act, which the lower authorities had relied upon for making the addition. Therefore, the Tribunal decided to recall the appeal for the limited purpose of determining the applicability of sections 145A and 56(2)(viii) of the Act. The appeal was directed to be fixed for further hearing.
Conclusively, the Miscellaneous Application filed by the assessee was allowed, and the order was pronounced on August 20, 2021.
