Determining "purchase" date for tax deduction: Possession & payment key, not just registration delay.
The case pertains to the determination of the date of "purchase" for claiming deduction u/s 54F of the Income Tax Act. The issue revolves around whether the assessee has purchased the new house property within the stipulated time limit of 24 months from the date of transfer of the capital asset.

The Delhi High Court in Balraj's case held that deduction u/s 54 should not be rejected merely due to pending registration if the consideration is paid. The Karnataka High Court in Sambandam Udaykumar's case also ruled in favor of the assessee, stating that the benefit u/s .....

Customs duty exemption saga for aquaculture imports & exports despite conflicting notifications.
Notification 188/93-Cus extended exemption to 100% EOUs for import of specified goods, including raw materials, for use in integrated aquaculture farms and export of farm products. Notification 183/93-Cus amended Notification 13/1981, appearing to restrict exemption for aquaculture units. However, Notification 188/93-Cus maintained exemption during the interim period till rescinded by Notification 196/1994. Clause 9 of Notification 196/1994 ensured seamless continuity of exemption granted under Notification 13/1981, including the interim period, rendering invocation of bank guarantees by Customs erroneous. Section 159A of Customs Act inapplicable due to contrary intention expressed in Notification 196/1994 regarding continuance of exemption benefits.

Tax credit allowed despite delayed filing of Form 67; DTAA overrides domestic provisions.
The Tribunal held that Rule 128(9) does not provide for disallowance of Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) in case of delay in filing Form No. 67. Filing of Form No. 67 is a directory requirement, and the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) overrides the provisions of the Act and Rules. The issue was not debatable, and there was only one possible view. In such circumstances, proceedings u/s 154 of the Act can be resorted to, even if it involves a long-drawn process of reasoning. The Assessing Officer was directed to give credit for foreign tax as per Form 67 filed by the assessee prior to filing the appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), after due verification.

Advance Money Investment: Tax Benefit Confirmed for NHAI Bonds.
The Appellate Tribunal held that the assessee is eligible to claim deduction u/s 54EC of the Income Tax Act for investment in bonds of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). The assessee had invested the advance money received towards the sale of a property in the specified NHAI bonds before the date of transfer. This is in line with Circular No. 359 and the Bombay High Court's decision in CIT vs. Subhash Vinayak Supnekar, which ruled that when an advance received under an agreement to sell a capital asset is invested in specified bonds, the benefit of Section 54EC is available. The Tribunal observed a direct nexus between the advance received and the investment made, thereby allowing the assessee's appeal.

Interest income from disputed FD awaits final court decision on ownership before taxation.
The Appellate Tribunal adjudicated on the issue of addition of interest income and penalty u/s 271(1)(c). The assessee contended that the interest income from a Fixed Deposit (FD) with the State Bank of India never crystallized due to a legal dispute over the ownership of the funds. The Tribunal held that where the ownership itself is in question, the decision to delete the addition becomes questionable. The assessee cannot be permanently excluded from taxation on interest earned from the FD. However, the assessee cannot be taxed on an asset over which it does not have conclusive ownership. The issue of final ownership is yet to be decided by the court. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to re-adjudicate the taxation of interest in.....

Penalty Deleted for Non-Furnishing Evidence, Not Concealment of Income.
The assessee was penalized u/s 271(1)(c) for addition of sale consideration due to lack of vouchers. The CIT(A) partly confirmed the addition for want of vouchers. The assessee argued that no penalty is maintainable as the transaction was truly disclosed, and long-term capital gains were reported. The ITAT held that the CIT(A) restricted the addition after examining the evidence, indicating the assessee succeeded partially. The AO imposed the penalty solely for non-submission of supporting vouchers. Relying on the CAFCO SYNDICATE SHIPPING CO. case, the ITAT ruled that penalty cannot be imposed for non-furnishing evidence as it does not amount to concealment of income. Consequently, the penalty levied by the AO was deleted, and the assessee's grounds were allowed.

Inherited Property Cost for Capital Gains Tax: Family Settlement Trumps Will.
Capital gains computation - cost of acquisition relates back to date of transfer through will/family settlement to beneficiary. Determination of indexed cost of acquisition for residential property acquired through family settlement. Additional evidence not admissible before ITAT without following rules. Family settlement is not a transfer, cost of acquisition relates back to previous owner's acquisition. Family settlement need not be registered if recording prior arrangement. For capital gains, cost inflation index calculated from year property acquired by previous owner through registered deed. Family arrangement does not involve transfer, hence no capital gains tax. Calculation based on indexed cost from previous owner's acquisition date, even if will disregarded. Order of CIT(A) upheld, decided in favor of assessee.

Loan restructuring costs allowed as business expense for lower interest rate.
Expenditure incurred for payment of foreclosure premium for restructuring loan and obtaining fresh loan at a lower rate of interest is allowable as business expenditure u/s 37(1). The pre-closure premium can be claimed as revenue expenditure u/s 37. The foreclosure of the loan to contain exorbitant charges stems from a business decision and commercial expediency governing the assessee's business dealings. An assessee can decide the best way to conduct business and maximize profits, subject to compliance with the law. The decision in Overseas Sanmar Financial Limited, where foreclosure premium was allowed as business expenditure on similar facts, has attained finality as it was not challenged by the Income-Tax Department. The High Court ruled in favor of the assessee.

Life Insurance Claim Wrongly Denied - Onus on Insurer to Prove Non-Disclosure.
Insurance claim repudiation is governed by Section 45 of the Insurance Act, 1938, barring questioning of policies after a stipulated period unless proven by the insurer. The burden rests on the insurer to establish materiality of suppressed facts and insured's knowledge for justifying repudiation. Insurance contracts demand utmost good faith (uberrimae fidei), requiring disclosure of previous policies. Materiality depends on whether prudent insurers would be affected in risk assessment or premium fixation. The insurer failed to provide documentary evidence proving the deceased insured possessed multiple undisclosed policies from other companies. Consequently, the repudiation was held unjustified, and the insurer was directed to pay the claim amounts with interest.

Lack of reasoning in court order violates principles of natural justice.
The main order rejecting condonation of delay lacks reasons, violating principles of natural justice. It is a well-settled legal position that an affidavit-in-reply cannot supplement the main order under challenge by assigning reasons when the main order itself does not contain any reasons. The Supreme Court has emphasized the need for courts, quasi-judicial, or administrative authorities to provide reasons for their orders to enable higher forums or courts to consider such reasons when the order is challenged. The impugned order dated 12.06.2023, devoid of any reasoning, is liable to be quashed and set aside. Consequently, the matter is remanded back to the respondent to pass a fresh order with detailed reasons in accordance with the law.
