Syndicate AOP income taxable in AOP hands under section 2(31), not clubbed with individual members' income
SC upheld the HC's decision that income earned by various syndicates, constituted as Associations of Persons (AOPs), is taxable in the hands of the AOPs and not in the hands of the individual assessee-members. The Court held that the assessee's share of profit from the syndicates could not be directly assessed in their individual assessments by clubbing such income with their personal income. Finding no error in the HC's reasoning or conclusion, the SC dismissed the revenue's petitions.
The Supreme Court condoned the delay and, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, declined to interfere with the High Court's decision concerning assessment of income arising from an Association of Persons (AOP) described as "Syndicates." The Court affirmed the legal position that "the income of the Association of the Persons (Syndicates) cannot be clubbed with the assessees." By doing so, it implicitly upheld the separate tax personality and independent assessability of the AOP, rejecting the Revenue's attempt to attribute or club such income with individual assessees. Finding that the High Court had "not erred in passing the impugned order," the Supreme Court dismissed the petitions and ordered that all pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
