Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
HC held that interest awarded in motor accident claim cases from the date of claim petition until award or appellate judgment is not taxable income. The compensatory interest, integral to calculating just compensation, does not constitute chargeable income under Income Tax Act. Sections 56(2)(viii), 145B(1), and 194A do not alter the non-taxable nature of such interest. The interest, being compensatory and linked to delayed computation of compensation, remains exempt from taxation. The ruling aligns with Supreme Court precedents interpreting the compensatory character of such interest awards in motor vehicle accident compensation cases.
