....s of the case, whether the ld. CIT(A) is justified in considering the assessee's claim in respect of declaration in Form 27C which was required to be received at the time of purchase of goods by buyer and copy of declaration should be deposited by responsible person with competent authority on the specified date as required by Rule 37C and the assessee failed to comply with such legal requirement. ii) On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the ld. CIT(A) has erred in law and fact by giving specific direction on account of demand raised U/s 206C(7) for charging interest violates the provision of Section 206C(7) of the Act." 2.

....d from the mechanical working of the material (breaking of the ship). Further it is not necessary that such mechanical working (breaking of the ship) should be carried out by the assessee himself. The assessee is, therefore, liable to deduct tax at source U/s 206C of the Act on the sale of scrap. In fact, the admission of the assessee is the best evidence to admit the liability. The assessee himself has admitted that the assessee is dealing in the scrap generated from the breaking of the ship and had purchased the scarp. The contention of the Id AR that since the iron scrap like steel, ingots, iron etc. is being used by the industries without any change, is not correct as the nature of goods shall remain same, therefore, it comes under the ....

....ithout any modification by the buyer of the said scrap and would hence fall under the definition of 'scrap' thereby attracting TCS. Since 'Plates' are part of ship-breaking scrap purchased and sold by the assessee, these would be covered under 'scrap'. This contention of the assessee is therefore not acceptable. Ground 1(c) is accordingly dismissed. 4. Ground 1(b) is against demand u/s 206C(6A)/206C(7) raised by the AO due to non-furnishing of Form no. 27C within prescribed time-limits. The assessee has contended that the ship- breaking scrap is sold to manufacturers who have given declaration in Form No. 27C, even though in the course of TDS proceedings, and hence there should be liability U/s 206C(6A)/206C(7). In support, the ass....

Ground no. 1(d) is against considering the assessee in default in view of certificates filed in Form 27BA as per Proviso to sec. 206C(6A) stating that the buyer has filed Return of income taking into consideration the amount of purchase price of goods for computing his income and has paid taxes thereon. It is contended by the assess....

In view thereof this ground of the appeal is also allowed for statistical purposes only." 6.3 Respectfully following the order of ITAT, Jaipur bench in appellant's own case, the AO is directed to verify such cases where certificates as per Proviso to 206C(6A) are furnished and if in such cases the advance tax deposited by the buyer is more than the tax required to be deducted by the assessee then in that case no interest u/s 206C(7) should be charged.
