The Income Tax Officer initially assessed them as an Association of Persons (AOP) based on the winnings being considered a joint venture. However, the Tribunal overturned this decision, ruling that the mere purchase of lottery tickets did not constitute a commercial activity to produce income. The Tribunal held that there was no AOP or Body of Individuals (BOI) formed in this case, as the winnings were deemed a windfall based on luck and not indicative of ongoing business activities. The appeal seeking assessment as an AOP or BOI was dismissed. en-us Fri, 26 Oct 1984 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 11:22:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=69967 The case involved the assessment of income from lottery winnings jointly won by two individuals for the assessment year 1982-83.
