Taxability of consumer deposits: deposits treated as trading receipts or appropriated to reserves are taxable as revenue receipts. The Board directs that refundable consumer deposits treated in substance as trading receipts are taxable as revenue receipts in the year of receipt; appropriation of deposits by transfer to general reserve renders them taxable as revenue receipts in the year of transfer. A review of completed assessments from assessment year 1972-73 onwards is to be undertaken to identify such misclassifications and quantify the approximate tax effect, with results to be reported by the prescribed deadline.
