[aaykarbhavan] CA IS A NAME OF TRUST, CONFIDENCE AND FAITH




 on 22nd June, 2013 I had changed my password of my Y mail ID and some-how within few seconds I forgot my password.
I tried a lot of permutation-combination which resulted in my account getting locked for 12 hours.
No mail- id or phone number was linked with my mail and I also did not remember my secret answers. I contacted the Yahoo Customer Care customer care agent Who was a foreigner and he asked me " ARE YOU A CA? AND IF, YES THAN TELL ME YOUR MEMBERSHIP NO".
and after knowing that I am a CA, my account was opened within seconds.

The faith, trust and confidence that people all over the world have in our institution and in our profession is indefinable and we should pledge to keep the same legacy forward.

Wish You All A Very Happy Ca Day


Regards
Prarthana Jalan

Chidambaram may stick to Pranab's line on DTC


VRISHTI BENIWAL

New Delhi, 30 June

Finance Minister P Chidambaram might have modified some of Pranab Mukherjee's decisions but he could toe his predecessor's line on the Direct Taxes Code ( DTC) Bill. This means taxpayers might continue to enjoy exemption on maturity of their investments and industry could pay Minimum Alternate Tax ( MAT) on book profits, instead of gross assets.

Some of Mukherjee's prominent decisions reviewed by Chidambaram earlier include provisions related to the General Anti- Avoidance Rules ( GAAR), tax demand on Vodafone, fiscal deficit target for 201213, negotiations with states on the Goods & Services Tax, and norms for selection of public sector bank chiefs.

The DTC Bill, to be tabled in the monsoon session of Parliament, is understood to be closer to the version put up by Mukherjee before Parliament's standing committee on finance, headed by Yashwant Sinha, in 2010 — that is, a watered down version of the original proposal prepared by Chidambaram during his previous stint finance minister, in 2009.

Officials say Chidambaram is closely working with his advisor, Parthasarathy Shome ( the architect of the 2009 version), on the revised Bill. This is likely to give an impetus to growth and investment by the corporate sector but might not have much for individual taxpayers because of the limited fiscal space available with the government. "The original version of the Bill will need substantive changes. The mandate to the government now is limited to taking a call on standing committee recommendations.

We will go with the DTC Bill of 2010, with some modification in line with the panel's suggestions," said a finance ministry official who did not wish to be named. The ministry might not accept the parliamentary panel's recommendation of raising the yearly income tax exemption limit to 3 lakh from 2 lakh at present. Its worry is that raising this limit will not only lead to loss of revenue ( in giving tax benefit to people in all slabs) but also take many people out of its scrutiny and erode the tax base, now already low at 34 million. If the slab is increased to 3 lakh, 87 per cent of taxpayers will escape annual net.

Instead, the government might consider giving relief to taxpayers in the lower tax bracket — like it did in Budget 2013- 14. A tax credit of 2,000 was provided to every person with up to 5 lakh the income, benefitting 18 million taxpayers. This meant a hit of 3,600 crore to the exchequer. But, if the exemption limit is increased to 3 lakh, the loss will be 30,000 crore.

Tax relief for R& D centres as FinMin relaxes norms


BS REPORTER

New Delhi, 30 June

The government on Sunday brought some tax relief to development centres engaged in contract research and development (R& D) services with insignificant risk by relaxing norms for identifying these. As captive centres of multinational companies perform minimal functions for the parent and share a low risk, these would be subjected to a less stringent way of computing taxable income.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes ( CBDT) revised its circular no 3 of March to classify R& D centres set up by foreign companies in three broad categories based on functions, assets and risk assumed by the centre established in India. These include centres which are entrepreneurial in nature; centres which are based on cost- sharing arrangements; and centres which undertake contract R& D.

For determining the arm's length price, taxpayers often insist that they are contract R& D service providers with insignificant risk, while assessing officers treat them as full or significant risk- bearing entities and make transfer pricing adjustments accordingly.

The CBDT has now laid down six parameters for identifying such insignificant risk centres, against five conditions in the earlier circular. Profit split method, where a part of profit of the parent is taken into account for computing tax of the captive unit, would not be applicable to these centres.

Earlier, it was difficult for the R& D centres to meet all the five conditions so that they were not subjected to the profit split method. The government said that " the use of the phrase ' cumulatively complied with' was perhaps too restrictive." It has also defined phrases such as ' economically significant functions' and ' low or no tax jurisdiction' to make the definition clear.

"Rescinding these circulars to a large extent removes uncertainty and apprehension in the minds of top decision makers in foreign companies looking to create a 'win- win' environment by outsourcing even more contract R& D and other forms of IT- enabled services to India," said Hitesh Gajaria, Partner, KPMG.

He said rigidly defining contract R& D centres who work in a risk free environment as only those satisfying ' cumulatively' all the conditions specified in the erstwhile circular was too restrictive and one wondered whether any centre would ever be able to qualify as such.

On Saturday, the tax department had killed one of its recent circulars on taxation of development centres and clarified that profit- split method would not be the only method of computing tax liability.

With over 57 per cent rise in transfer pricing demand notices by the government last year making companies jittery, the income tax department is issuing 'guidance' to assessing officers to help them frame orders based on international best practices. Of about 3,200 cases taken up for transfer pricing auditing in 2012- 13, an adjustment of 70,000 crore was made in 1,600 cases. In 2011- 12, an adjustment of 44,531 crore was made in 1,343 cases.

>LEGAL DIGEST


Landowners' rights flouted

"It is unfortunate that despite repeated judicial pronouncements, the executive authorities entrusted with the task of acquiring private land for any public purposes have time and again exhibited total lack of seriousness in the performance of their duties under the Land Acquisition Act," the Supreme Court stated in the case, Women's Education Trust vs State of Haryana. All the principles laid down by the court were broken. The court therefore reiterated the cardinal principles to be followed: The landowners should be given achance to raise objections, to prove that there was no public purpose involved, alternative land was available, the collector should give reasons for the acquisition and why it is imperative despite the objections, and his report shall be examined by the state government for its objectivity.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refund order set aside

The Supreme Court has set aside the judgment of the Delhi High Court which had directed Engineering Export Promotion Council to refund the money deposited by one of the merchant exporters who was accused of economic offences. His brothers, partners in the firm, also deposited amounts but as they were acquitted, their money was refunded by the council. But this person was not acquitted. He requested the high court to order refund of the deposit money like other partners, and the high court allowed it. The council appealed to the Supreme Court, which said that the situation was different in the case of the accused person who was not acquitted. His plea that others were refunded the deposit would not apply to an accused person and the high court confused the cases of the two sets of persons. There was no principle of parity here. It could not have used its discretionary power to order refund, what the council, which is a channelising agency under the Ministry of Commerce, did was an " absolutely administrative action."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 25- year- old labour dispute ends

The Supreme Court quashed the judgment of the Rajasthan High Court and the industrial tribunal which had directed the state road transport corporation to reinstate an employee who had indulged in corruption, came in drunken state for work and used abusive language, in the three months he was in employment. The employee had raised technical objections invoking the industrial law and the tribunal ruled that he was illegally dismissed. The Supreme Court stated that "there was no question of his being in service even for one continuous year, since he had obviously not completed 240 days of service. During this short span of service there were various allegations against him. The corporation could have discontinued him from service as it is, since he was a daily wager." Thus 25 years of litigation ended with the upholding of the dismissal.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SSIs lose to Bharat Petroleum

The Bombay High Court has dismissed a batch of petitions invoking the Arbitration and Conciliation Act to terminate the mandate of an arbitrator and refer disputes between the parties to the Micro and Small Scale Enterprises Facilitation Council constituted under the provisions of the Micro, Small Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, ( MSME Act).

The disputes were between several small scale units in Haryana, which make LPG cylinders and supply to Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. Their disputes were referred to an arbitrator in 2003 which dragged on with adjournments and change of arbitrators. Later, the MSME Act was passed. The firms, which continued to participate in the arbitration proceedings, wanted the council to decide their disputes. Rejecting the plea, the high court stated that the provisions of the Act would not apply with retrospective effect to past transactions and the new provisions can have no applicability to the facts of this case.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bank not bound to pay premium

The National Consumer Commission has ruled that a bank which provides loan for a motor vehicle is not legally bound to pay insurance premium though it might do so as a matter of practice. It is the duty of the owner of the vehicle. In this case, some farmers in Haryana took loans for buying tractors. Canara Bank granted the loan and also undertook to insure the vehicle and debit the premium from the account of the insured persons. The insurance policy of New India Assurance Co Ltd was thus renewed from time to time. But on the year the public sector bank delayed the payment, for no apparent reason, an accident took place. Therefore, under a settlement the tractor owners had to pay the accident claim as the insurance was not valid at the time of the accident. Then they moved the consumer forum alleging deficiency on the part of the bank. The district forum as well as the Haryana state consumer commission ordered the bank to pay compensation. On appeal to the national commission, it reversed the orders and stated that according to the hypothecation document, it was the duty of the borrower to take insurance cover.

However, the DIT(E)  opined that necessary amendment to the trust deed has to be made by  approaching the appropriate Civil Court having jurisdiction over the matter.  The DIT(E) has held that the amendment is not legally valid since the  assessee has not followed the legal procedure by approaching the  appropriate Civil Court having jurisdiction as held by the Supreme Court in  the case of CIT vs. Kamala Town Trust 217 ITR 699. Hence, he was of the  opinion that the original Clause 4(xii) still holds good and therefore, registration cannot be granted under section 12AA and rejected the same
 
6. We have heard both the parties. We are of the opinion that the
assessee has amended the trust deed and clause 4 (xii) reads as follows : xii) "To do such acts of public charity and of general public utility as may be decided upon by the Trustees from time
to time".
7. The DIT(E) has taken a view that necessary amendment to the trust deed has to be made by approaching the appropriate Civil Court having jurisdiction over the matter relying on the decision of Supreme Court in the case of CIT vs. Kamala Town Trust (1996) 217 ITR 699. The DIT(E) has wrongly understood the observations made by the Supreme Court. In that decision, the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that in that particular case the A.P. High Court and the City Civil Court, Hyderabad had no jurisdiction  under section 34 of the Trust Act and a suit has to be filed before the  competent Civil Court for rectification. This is not applicable to amendment for all the trusts and a specific finding has been given by the Supreme Court on the facts of the case before it and is totally inapplicable in the present case of the assessee. Hence, the amendment of the trust deed need not be  made by approaching the appropriate Civil Court. The amendment of the  trust deed can be made for the purpose of registration under section 12AA of  the Act and it would be suffice if the DIT(E) approves the amendment carried  out in the Trust Deed. We, therefore, direct the DIT(E) to grant registration  for the trust under section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.  8. In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed

The AO also recorded a statement from the mediator S.

Nagarjuna Rao towards sale of the property and in turn has paid the sale consideration to the seller Sri T. Jayapal Reddy after retaining his  commission.
HELD
When the document in question was not seized  from the assessee but from a third party, who admittedly has  made the entries therein and furthermore when the seized  document neither mentions the name of the assessee or bears his  signature, then by no stretch of imagination it can be said to be  belonging to the assessee. Thus, the precondition for initiating proceeding u/s 153C is not satisfied. Therefore, the initiation of  proceeding u/s 153C against the assessee is without jurisdiction. We, in the preceding paragraphs, have already held that the seized document on the basis of which proceeding u/s 153C was  initiated cannot be said to be belonging to the assessee.  Therefore, considered in the light of the ratios laid down in the judicial precedents referred to above, the assumption of jurisdiction u/s 153C has to be held as invalid and consequentially  the assessment order passed must be declared as without  jurisdiction. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by the CIT(A) and allow the appeal of the assessee.

It is the contention of the learned authorised  representative for the assessee that as per Article-7(3) of IndoUS DTAA, any income arising out of specific services to the Head  Office in USA is not to be considered. Article 7(3) of DTAA reads  as….
 
11. As can be seen from the aforesaid Article extracted
hereinabove, it is in two parts. The first part of the aforesaid
Article relates to the activity carried on by the branch office which
is commercial and business in nature whereas the second part
relates to the activities which are not commercial in nature and
relates to specific services performed by the branch office. The
assessee's contention is that it is rendering services covered by
second part, hence the income arising on account of such specific
services cannot be considered for determining profit. However, a
reading of the said Article makes it very clear that the services
performed by the branch office are on account of outsourcing of
commercial activities by its Head Office, therefore income arising
out of such services rendered would be taxable under Article 7(3)
of DTAA, whereas if some non commercial activities are
specifically assigned by the Head Office to its branch office, then
income arising out of such activity would not be taxable. As is
evident from the permission granted by RBI, the branch office is
involved in the activities of customer care and medical
transcription services. Thus, it is very clear that the branch
office is also rendering services of commercial nature which has
been outsourced by the Head office.
12. After going through the order of of the CIT (A), it is quite
obvious that the assessee is only carrying out the normal
commercial activities of the Head Office i.e., a part of medical
transcription work and software development. The assessee has
also not brought on record to establish the fact that the activities
carried on by it is non commercial and in the nature of specific
services as per the instruction of the Head Office. After going through the
orders of the lower authorities, we do not find any infirmity in the
order of the CIT (A) in determining the profit at 10% which in
our view appears to be reasonable. So far as the assessee's
contention that the head office has suffered loss and hence there
cannot be any profit to the branch office, the same is not
acceptable as profit of the branch office has to be computed as
per the income earned by it.
