It found that the assessee's principal business activity was equipment leasing, not activities that would categorize it as a "financial company" or a "Miscellaneous Finance Company" under Section 2(5B). As a result, the interest income was not chargeable under the Act. The orders of the CIT(A) and AO were quashed, and the Tribunal directed that any tax paid by the assessee be refunded. The assessee's appeal was allowed. en-us Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 20 Jan 2024 12:17:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=59368 The Tribunal determined that the assessee, an investment company, could not be classified as a "credit institution" under Section 2(5A) of the Interest Tax Act.
