https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=66629 Dividend income received by a chit fund company from chit groups it promoted was held taxable because the receipt arose in the course of its commercial business, not from a purely mutual arrangement. The tribunal noted that the foreman's rights under the Chit Funds Act, 1982 were materially different from those of ordinary subscribers, so there was no complete identity between contributors and participators. On that basis, the doctrine of mutuality did not apply, and the assessee's exemption claim failed. Authorities supporting mutuality were distinguished on their facts, while jurisdictional precedents treating similar receipts as taxable were followed. en-us Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 12:51:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=66629 Dividend income received by a chit fund company from chit groups it promoted was held taxable because the receipt arose in the course of its commercial business, not from a purely mutual arrangement.
