Issues Involved:
The judgment addresses the following Issues: - Whether the Appellate Tribunal was correct in allowing the appeal of the assessee based on the computation of profit and gain of an industrial undertaking under sections 29 to 43 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, including section 40 for interest/remuneration to partners as per Partnership Deed. - Whether the Appellate Tribunal was justified in granting relief despite the potential tax evasion by passing on interest/remuneration in the guise of share of profits, as per the decision in Mc Dowel & Co. Ltd. v/s. Commercial Tax Officer (1985) 154 ITR 48 (SC). - Whether the Appellate Tribunal erred in accepting the assessee's claim of not paying interest to partners, disregarding their obligation as per the partnership deed and provisions of section 40(b)(iv) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, especially considering the deduction claimed u/s.80IB of the IT Act. Judgment Details: In the case at hand, the learned Counsel for the appellant presented common questions of law for admission of the appeal, focusing on the computation of profit and gain of an industrial undertaking as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Counsel raised concerns regarding the allowance of expenses and the treatment of interest/remuneration to partners as per the Partnership Deed. The Counsel for the revenue acknowledged a similar issue raised in a previous case, Commissioner of Income Tax v/s. Industrial Workwear, which was not admitted. Drawing from the decision in the aforementioned case, it was concluded that no grounds existed for the admission of the current appeals. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed in line with the precedent set by the earlier case. Therefore, based on the above considerations and the consistency with prior decisions, the High Court dismissed the appeals, maintaining the stance taken in the previous case regarding the computation of profit and gain of industrial undertakings and the treatment of interest/remuneration to partners.
