Issues: Whether interest on non-performing assets could be treated as accrued income for the assessment year 2004-05 in the light of the RBI directions, Accounting Standard AS-9 and the relevant government notification.
Analysis: The appeal concerned a non-banking financial company for assessment year 2004-05. The statutory directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India under Section 45JA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 governed income recognition for such entities and required interest on non-performing assets to be recognised only on actual realisation. The Court found that the earlier CBDT circular relied on below had been superseded in the relevant period and that the notification issued by the Ministry of Law, Justice and Company Affairs under Section 637A(1) of the Companies Act, 1956 also had to be considered. The reasoning adopted by the Tribunal and the appellate authority failed to apply the correct later regime and did not properly examine whether the accounts had become non-performing for the relevant year.
Conclusion: The inclusion of interest on non-performing assets could not be sustained on the basis adopted by the Tribunal, and the matter required fresh examination by the Assessing Officer.
Final Conclusion: The appeal was allowed, the Tribunal's order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for fresh consideration, with the substantive question of law left open.
