2023 (6) TMI 611 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
The main issue in the assessment was whether the subsidy received by the assessee for technology upgradation fund is a capital receipt not chargeable to tax or a revenue receipt chargeable to tax.

Assessee's Grounds:
1. The learned CIT(A) erred in not directing the learned AO to consider the correct amount of subsidy under Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme.
2. The learned CIT(A) erred in not directing the learned AO to reduce TUF subsidy from Profit as shown in the statement of profit and loss while computing book profit.
3. The learned CIT(A) erred in not admitting the ground of appeal regarding incentives under Focus Market Scheme as a capital receipt not chargeable to tax.
4. The learned CIT(A) erred in not admitting the ground of appeal regarding excluding incentives under Focus Market Scheme from Profit while computing book profit.

Summary of Judgment:
The Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax appealed against the appellate order passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) regarding interest subsidy received under the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme. The main issue was whether the subsidy is a capital or revenue receipt. The learned AO considered it as a revenue receipt, but the learned CIT(A) found it to be a capital receipt based on previous decisions. The learned departmental representative argued for it to be a revenue receipt, citing the purpose of the subsidy and relevant legal provisions. The authorized representative argued in favor of the assessee, citing previous decisions and the nature of the subsidy. The coordinate bench had previously held that the subsidy is a capital receipt, which was upheld in this case. The grounds of appeal raised by the AO were dismissed, and the cross objections by the assessee were also dismissed. The decision favored the assessee, confirming that the interest subsidy is a capital receipt not chargeable to tax.

Order pronounced in the open court on 12.06.2023.
