Commercial vehicle depreciation, scientifically determined warranty provisions and exempt-income disallowances were resolved in favour of the taxpayer...
Reassessment of an approved educational trust is unwarranted where, even after proposed disallowances, income applied to its objects remains above the 85% exemption threshold and no taxable income escapes assessment. The proviso to section 10(23C)(vi) permits accumulation of up to 15% of income, while section 152(2) permits reassessment proceedings to be dropped if the alleged escaped income does not reduce the assessed tax liability. Reopening and consequential reassessment were quashed. Revisionary power under section 264 may also modify, revoke or set aside an assessment made contrary to an interim court order, provided the resulting order is not prejudicial to the assessee; administrative system limitations do not excuse failure to remedy the breach.
