Tribunal affirms 50% depreciation claim on power plant additions, rejecting Revenue's appeal on excess disallowance.
The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's decision to allow the assessee's claim for 50% depreciation on power plant additions used for less than 180 days, dismissing the Revenue's appeal against the deletion of excess depreciation disallowance. The Tribunal found the Commissioner's order fair as it provided an opportunity for verification before granting relief, ultimately affirming the Commissioner's decision and dismissing the Revenue's appeal.
Issues Involved: 1. Disallowance of excess depreciation on power plant.
Analysis: 1. The Revenue appealed against the deletion of disallowance of excess depreciation on the power plant by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals). The Revenue challenged the action of the Commissioner in allowing depreciation at 100% instead of 50% for assets used for less than 180 days. The delay of six days in filing the appeal was condoned by the Tribunal due to sufficient cause shown by the Revenue.
2. The assessee, a manufacturing company, filed its return declaring a total income of &8377;23,18,85,114. The Assessing Officer originally determined the total income at &8377;28,02,94,898, making certain additions. The Commissioner found an error in allowing 100% depreciation on power plant additions used for less than 180 days, directing a de-novo assessment. The subsequent assessment by the Assessing Officer restricted the depreciation claim to &8377;98,18,225, resulting in an addition to the total income.
3. The assessee appealed the assessment, highlighting that only 50% depreciation was claimed on power plant additions used for less than 180 days. The Commissioner directed the Assessing Officer to verify and delete the excess disallowance. The Tribunal found the Commissioner's order fair, as it allowed an opportunity for verification before granting relief. The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's decision, dismissing the Revenue's appeal.
4. The Tribunal concluded by dismissing the Revenue's appeal, affirming the Commissioner's order. The decision was pronounced on 5th January 2018.
