The following important judgement is available for download at itatonline.org.
CIT vs. Impact Containers Pvt. Ltd (Bombay High Court)
S. 2(22)(e): The law laid down in Universal Medicare 324 ITR 263 (Bom) (approving Bhaumik Colour 313 ITR 146 (SB)), that s. 2(22)(e) does not apply to a non-shareholder, is good law
We do not see how with this legal position and the status of the shareholder recognized in law can be ignored while interpreting Section 2 (22) (e) of the I. T. Act. Precisely, this is what has been done by this Court in the judgment rendered in the case of Universal Medicare. It is not necessary for us to make a detailed reference to the order of the Special Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Bhaumik Colour Pvt Ltd. Suffice it to hold that the view taken by this Court in the case of M/s. Universal Medicare does not require any reconsideration. We are not in agreement with Shri Gupta that the definition does not contemplate or does not stipulate any requirement of assessee being a shareholder of the assessee like the one in the present case. The view taken in the present case that the recipient/assessee was not a shareholder, thus is in consonance with the legal position noted by us hereinabove. We are of the further view that this Court merely restated this principle and which remains unaltered throughout from the case of Rameshwarlal Sanwarmal v/s CIT 122 ITR 1 (SC)
