    Extension of date of incorporation for eligible start-up for exemption
    Show AI Summary
    Extension of start up incorporation cutoff expands section 80 IAC eligibility, applying from the stated effective assessment year onward.
    The amendment extends the incorporation cutoff so that enterprises incorporated on or before 1st April 2024 qualify as eligible start ups for the three year full deduction under section 80 IAC, subject to the existing turnover ceiling, Inter Ministerial Board certification and other statutory conditions, and is to have effect from 1st April 2023 for the relevant assessment year and subsequent years.

    Relief to start-ups in carrying forward and setting off of losses
    Show AI Summary
    Carry-forward loss relief extended for startups, easing shareholding continuity requirement to permit set-off of past losses.
    Amendment extends the proviso to the carry forward and set off rule so that eligible start-ups may set off carried forward losses incurred within ten years of incorporation under the existing shareholders-continuity relaxation, aligning this period with the ten-year reference in the start-up incentive provision; the change applies from the assessment year 2023-24.

    Penalty for cash loan/ transactions against primary co-operatives
    Show AI Summary
    Cash transaction limit relief for primary co operatives raises the threshold before penalty for member transactions.
    The amendments raise the electronic payment threshold for primary agricultural credit societies and primary co operative agricultural and rural development banks so that acceptance of loans or deposits from, or repayment to, their members will be required to be by account payee cheque, account payee bank draft or online bank transfer only where the amount equals or exceeds two lakh rupees; penalties will attach only above that threshold.

    Increasing threshold limit for co-operatives to withdraw cash without TDS
    Show AI Summary
    TDS threshold for co-operative societies increased, altering cash withdrawal TDS applicability and retaining higher deduction rates for non-filers.
    The Finance Bill, 2023 amends Section 194N to treat co-operative societies as if the statutory cash-withdrawal TDS threshold were replaced by a higher threshold for the purpose of that section, effective from the start of the next financial year, while preserving the existing non-filer deduction rates and the statutory definition of non-filer.

    Deductibility of sugarcane purchase price: recomputation permitted for co-operative mills where prices meet government-fixed approvals.
    Confirms that payments by sugar co-operative mills for purchase of sugarcane at prices equal to or less than government-fixed or approved rates are allowable as a deduction for computing business income. Where such deductions were previously claimed and disallowed, an assessee may apply to the tax authority for recomputation of total income for the relevant previous year; the authority must allow the deduction to the extent the expenditure meets the qualifying price condition and apply rectification provisions and the prescribed processing period.

    The Agnipath Scheme creates a non-lapsable Agniveer Corpus Fund holding Agniveer contributions, matching Government contributions and interest; Seva Nidhi is the one-time terminal package payable on completion of engagement. The Finance Bill proposes to exempt Seva Nidhi receipts from income tax and to permit deduction from total income of both the Agniveer's deposits and the Government's matching contributions, while treating the Government contribution as salary with a corresponding deduction and extending a similar deduction in the new tax regime.

    Show AI Summary
    Payment timing for micro and small enterprises: tax deduction allowed only on actual payment when MSMED timelines are missed.
    An amendment to Section 43B inserts a clause disallowing accrual-based deduction for sums payable to micro and small enterprises when payment is made after the time limits prescribed by the MSMED Act; the proviso to Section 43B will not apply to such payments, and only payments made within the MSMED timelines qualify for accrual-based deduction.

    Power of NCLT/NCLAT vis-à-vis writ jurisdiction of the high court.
    Show AI Summary
    Writ jurisdiction protects review where specialised tribunals act beyond statutory powers; tribunals may only inquire into fraud.
    Writ jurisdiction remains available to correct a tribunal acting without statutory power; NCLT lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate MMDR Act lease disputes, so a writ challenging its order was justified. NCLT/NCLAT may inquire into allegations of fraud in CIRP, but they cannot adjudicate substantive statutory or quasi judicial disputes that require judicial review of administrative action.

    Corporate guarantor liability: written acknowledgement restarts limitation and permits insolvency proceedings against the corporate debtor.
    A corporate guarantor qualifies as a corporate debtor liable to insolvency proceedings where its liability mirrors the principal borrower's, and a written acknowledgement of liability restarts the limitation period, enabling a financial creditor to initiate insolvency proceedings despite an earlier default date; factual and other objections remain open for merit-based adjudication in the insolvency forum.

    Procedural Amendments to Civil Procedure reinforce expedited summons, alternative dispute resolution and affidavit-based witness examination.
    The Supreme Court upheld the 1999 and 2002 amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure as procedural reforms to expedite litigation. Key clarifications include issuance of summons within thirty days under Section 27 provided plaintiffs have completed enabling steps; promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution under Section 89 with suggested rules and case management; Order 7 Rule 11 permitting rejection of plaints for specified noncompliance but allowing rectification; and Order 18 Rule 4 requiring examination-in-chief by affidavit subject to court discretion and permitting mechanical recording of evidence.

    Show AI Summary
    Acknowledgement of debt extends limitation for IBC filings; recovery certificate or decree creates fresh cause of action to initiate CIRP.
    An acknowledgment in writing by a corporate debtor of a subsisting liability restarts the limitation period for initiating CIRP; a final judgment, decree or a recovery certificate, if dues remain unpaid, gives rise to a fresh cause of action permitting a financial creditor to initiate insolvency proceedings within the applicable limitation period measured from the date of that judgment, decree or certificate. Limitation questions are mixed fact and law issues requiring pleaded facts and evidence, and pleadings in an insolvency petition may be amended or supplemented when appropriate.

    An insight into Advance Ruling and the functioning of the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR).
    Show AI Summary
    Advance ruling immunity limitation: pending enforcement investigations bar AAR consideration and provide no protection.
    The advance ruling mechanism provides tax certainty for proposed or completed transactions, but is inapplicable where the same question is the subject of enforcement proceedings. An applicant seeking a rate and classification ruling for works for a central housing body was found to have concurrent enforcement enquiries and prior inspection, search and seizure, bringing the case within the statutory proviso that excludes advance ruling consideration; clarification that "proceedings" covers enforcement chapters reinforces that AAR cannot provide immunity from ongoing investigations.

    Proper officer requirement invalidates notices issued by unauthorized DRI officials; statutory authority required for issuance.
    A show cause notice issued by an Additional Director General of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence was held not to be issued by a proper officer under the Customs Act, 1962; show cause notices must originate from an authority expressly empowered by statute, rule, notification or other lawful instrument, and notices issued by officers outside the statutory definition of proper officer lack validity and cannot ground further proceedings.

    Show AI Summary
    Writ petition as bypass of statutory remedies is impermissible; statutory remedy under tax law must be pursued first.
    Writ petitions cannot be used to bypass available statutory remedies in tax matters; where a statutory remedy under the GST law exists, a taxpayer must pursue that remedy before invoking writ jurisdiction. In the present facts, detention of goods and demand of tax and penalty led to a writ challenge which the High Court entertained on factual grounds, but the superior forum set aside that order and directed pursuit of the statutory remedy, noting the narrow exceptions permitting writ relief were not shown.
    Case LawsIncome Tax
    Reassessment conducted after 4 years by Income Tax Authorities.
    Show AI Summary
    Reopening assessments beyond four years barred where full and true disclosure eliminates omission to disclose material facts.
    Reopening an assessment beyond four years is permissible only if there was an omission to disclose material facts; where the assessee had fully and truly disclosed loan and interest details and the assessing officer merely sought a different view on deduction versus capitalization using the same material, the condition precedent for reopening under the proviso is not met and the notice to reopen cannot be sustained.

    Principles of natural justice require hearing before rejecting an SVLDRS declaration, prompting fresh reconsideration with a speaking order.
    An administrative rejection of an application under the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019 for alleged ineligibility was found to have failed procedural fairness by denying notice and hearing. The court required the Designated Committee to reconsider the declaration after affording the applicant a hearing with prior intimation and to issue a reasoned speaking order reflecting the scheme's remedial purpose.

    Option to pay fine in lieu of confiscation: reassess imported used car value and penalty before absolute confiscation.
    Rejection of the declared transaction value of an imported used car cannot rest solely on a Chartered Engineer report without due consideration of the importer's documentary submissions; where importation was not prohibited and only a policy condition on prior foreign use was breached, the authority must re determine assessable value and consider the option to pay a fine in lieu of confiscation, including reassessment of penalty quantum and incidental charges.

    Jurisdictional validity of show-cause notices: notices by officers lacking statutory authority are invalid and challengeable despite alternate remedies.
    Show-cause notices issued by officers of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence who are not proper officers under the statutory scheme suffer from a jurisdictional defect and are non est; where proceedings are wholly without jurisdiction an alternate remedy does not preclude challenge, and show-cause notices must have statutory backing and not be used as instruments of harassment.

      Budget 2021-22 + FINANCE Bill, 2021

      Rationalisation of provision of transfer of capital asset to partner on dissolution or reconstitution

      The existing provisions of section 45 of the Act inter alia, provides that any profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head Capital gains and shall be deemed to be the income of the previous year in which such transfer takes place. Further sub-section (4) of the said section, provides that the profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset by way of distribution of capital assets on the dissolution of a firm or other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a co-operative society)or otherwise, shall be chargeable to tax as the income of such firm or other association of persons or body of individuals of the previous year in which the said transfer takes place. Further, the fair market value of the asset on the date of such transfer shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration for the purposes of section 48.

      In this regard, it has been noticed that there is uncertainty regarding applicability of provisions of aforesaid sub-section to a situation where assets are revalued or self- generated assets are recorded in the books of accounts and payment is made to partner or member which is in excess of his capital contribution.

      Hence, it is proposed to substitute the existing sub-section (4) of section 45 of the Act with a new sub-section (4) and also insert a new sub-section (4A) to this section.

      New proposed sub-section (4) of section 45 of the Act applies in a case where a specified person who receives during the previous year any capital asset at the time of dissolution or reconstitution of the specified entity. The capital asset represents the balance in the capital account of such specified person in the books of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution. In this situation, the profit and gains arising from the receipt of such capital asset by the specified person shall be chargeable to income-tax as income of the specified entity under the head “capital gains” and shall be deemed to be the income of such specified entity of the previous year in which the capital asset was received by the specified person. For the purposes of section 48 of the Act, the fair market value of the capital asset on the date of such receipt shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset. The balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of account of the specified entity is to be calculated without taking into account increase in the capital account of the specified person due to revaluation of any asset or due to self-generated goodwill or any other self-generated asset.

      New proposed section sub-section (4A) of section 45 of the Act applies in a case where a specified person receives during the previous year any money or other asset at the time of dissolution or reconstitution of the specified entity. The money or other asset is required to be in excess of the balance in the capital account of such specified person in the books of accounts of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution. In this situation, the profits or gains arising from the receipt of such money or other asset by the specified person shall be chargeable to income-tax as income of the specified entity under the head "Capital gains" and shall be deemed to be the income of such specified entity of the previous year in which the money or other asset was received by the specified person. For the purposes of section 48 of the Act,

      • value of the money or the fair market value of other asset on the date of such receipt shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset; and

      • the balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of accounts of the specified entity at the time of its dissolution or reconstitution shall be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

      The balance in the capital account of the specified person in the books of account of the specified entity is to be calculated without taking into account increase in the capital account of the specified person due to revaluation of any asset or due to self- generated goodwill or any other self-generated asset.

      For the purposes of these two sub-sections,-

      • specified person” is proposed to be defined as a person who is partner of a firm or member of other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a cooperative society), in any previous year;

      • “specified entity” is proposed to be defined as a firm or other association of persons or body of individuals (not being a company or a cooperative society);and

      • “self-generated goodwill” and “self –generated assets” are proposed to be defined as goodwill or asset, as the case may be, which has been acquired without incurring any cost for purchase or which has been generated during the course of the business or profession.

      Consequential amendment is also proposed in section 48 of the Act to provide that in case of specified entity, the amount included in the total income of such specified entity under sub-section (4A) of section 45 which is attributable to the capital asset being transferred, shall be reduced from the full value of the consideration to compute income charged under the head “capital gains”. This is to be calculated in the manner to be prescribed later. This is to mitigate the double taxation which may have happened but for this provision in a situation where an asset which was revalued and for which income under the proposed sub-section (4A) of section 45 of the Act was brought to tax is transferred subsequently by the specified entity.

      These amendments will be effective from the 1st April, 2021 and will accordingly apply to the assessment year 2021-22 and subsequent assessment years.
