MOL Corporation</h3> Dy. Commissioner of Income Tax (International Taxation), Circle, Gurgaon Versus M/s. MOL Corporation - TMI Issues involved:1. Assessment of total income and tax liability for A.Y. 2008-092. Applicability of TDS credit and interest under sections 234A, 234B of the Income-tax Act, 19613. Validity of the order passed by the CIT (A) and directions given regarding TDS benefitAnalysis:Issue 1: Assessment of total income and tax liability for A.Y. 2008-09The appeal filed by the revenue challenged the order passed by the CIT (A) relating to the assessment year 2008-09. The Assessing Officer had initially assessed the total income of the assessee at a substantial amount, resulting in a significant demand. The AO had also taxed the same income in the hands of another entity on a protective basis.Issue 2: Applicability of TDS credit and interest under sections 234A, 234B of the Income-tax Act, 1961The assessee, a company incorporated in the United States, claimed that the amount received was not taxable in India due to the beneficial provisions of the India-US tax treaty. The CIT (A) directed the Assessing Officer to re-compute the interest under section 234A after transferring the TDS credit claimed by another entity for the same assessment year. The revenue challenged this direction, arguing against the deletion of interest and the granting of TDS benefit to the assessee.Issue 3: Validity of the order passed by the CIT (A) and directions given regarding TDS benefitThe Tribunal considered the arguments of both sides and decided to set aside the matter to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to decide the issue of granting TDS benefit to the assessee and to re-compute the interest under sections 234A and 234B. Specific time limits were set for the Assessing Officer to resolve the issue, emphasizing adherence to the law and providing the assessee with a fair opportunity to be heard.In conclusion, the appeal filed by the revenue was allowed for statistical purposes, and the matter was remanded back to the Assessing Officer for a fresh decision in accordance with the directions provided by the Tribunal.
