CBDT Hauls Up Officers & Staff For Leaving Early, Coming Late & Harassing Taxpayers
The CBDT has issued a stern Office Memorandum dated 07.08.2015 stating that officers/staff of the income Tax Department are leaving their stations/headquarters early on Fridays, during weekend and holidays and joining their duties late on next working day. It is further stated that many a times no permission is being taken from the superior controlling authorities before leaving location/headquarters as required under the rules. It is stated that apart from disturbing decorum and office discipline, this practise of leaving stations/headquarters by the officers /staff without prior permission and not observing the office timings, is causing inconvenience to the taxpayers and members of public who visit income tax offices in connection with their tax matters either by prior appointment or otherwise. This has been viewed adversely by the Chairperson, CBDT. The CBDT has warned that failure to obtain permission of competent authority before leaving station/headquarters is to be viewed seriously and may entail disciplinary action. It is also stated that Article 56 of the Civil Service Regulations also provides that no officer is entitled to pay and allowance for any time he may spend beyond the limits of his charge without authority

HC dismisses revision petition challenging jurisdiction of the Court to grant injunction in a passing off suit filed by Kalsi Metal Works Pvt Ltd ('Kalsi Metal') against Raj Son Agro Engineers (petitioners), alleging passing off of its trademark 'Kalsi'; Petitioner contended that since it did not reside within jurisdiction of the Court, the Court could not entertain the civil suit u/s 20 of CPC (which empowers Courts to entertain suit where defendant resides or cause of action arises), as well it submitted that only because Kalsi Metal resided within Court's jurisdiction, Court could not try the suit u/s 134 of Trademark Act (which empowers Courts to entertain suit where plaintiff resides) as Kalsi Metal's trademark was not registered for alleged agricultural spray goods; HC notes that in instant case, petitioner sold goods in Jalandhar, within jurisdiction of P&H HC, in clandestine manner without issuing invoices, thus, 'cause of action' u/s 20 of CPC arose in its jurisdiction; Holds that "the expression cause of action shall always be understood as a bundle of causes. It must include a particular cause of the defendant'selling the goods in clandestine manner at Jalandhar"; Rejects petitioner's reliance on SC ruling on Dhodha House & Karnataka HC ruling in Property Developers Vs. Prestige Estates Projects Pvt. Ltd, as distinguishable on facts:Punjab & Haryana HC
The order was passed by Justice K. Kannan.

Late Filing Fee u/s 234E – Judicial Interpretation – Hon'ble High Court of Bombay – February 6, 2015
Dear Deductor,
Section 234E of the Income-tax Act, 1961 inserted by the Finance Act, 2012 provides for levy of a fee of Rs. 200/- for each day's delay in filing the statement of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) or Tax Collected at Source (TCS). The provision for Levy of Late filing fee was introduced to improve Filing Compliance and to avoid subsequent inconvenience to the taxpayers due to inordinate delays in availability of taxCREDITS in their 26AS Statements.
This assumes further significance in view of the decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay, dated February 6 2015, upholding the validity of the Levy for Late Filing u/s 234E. The court has observed the following in its decision in the case of Rashmikant Kundalia vs. UOI:
Immediate Attention:
- The late filing of TDS returns by the deductor causes inconvenience to everyone and s. 234E levies a fee to regularize the said late filing.
- The fee is not in the guise of a tax nor is it onerous.
- The levy is constitutionally valid.
CPC (TDS), in its endeavor to strengthen TDS Compliance, is reaching out to you to reiterate the essence of timely filing of Quarterly TDS Statements. Section 200(3) of theINCOME TAX Act, 1961 read with Rule 31A of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, prescribes the following due dates for filing of TDS Statements:

- Without prejudice to the provisions of the Act, where a person fails to deliver or cause to be delivered a statement within the time prescribed in sub-section (3) of section 200 or the proviso to sub-section (3) of section 206C, he shall be liable to pay, by way of fee, a sum of two hundred rupees for every day during which the failureCONTINUES.
- The amount of fee referred to in sub-section (1) shall not exceed the amount of tax deductible or collectible, as the case may be.
