1990 (8) TMI 92 - HC - Income Tax

Summary

The High Court of Orissa allowed the payment of Rs. 9,000 as remuneration to the karta of three Hindu undivided families who managed a partnership firm. The Income-tax Officer had disallowed the salary, but the Tribunal ruled that there is no legal bar to such payment. The Court agreed with the Tribunal, stating that in the absence of any prohibition in the law, remuneration to the karta can be allowed if it is reasonable and not disbelieved. The judgment favored the assessees.
