Rejection of Section 72A Tax Loss Carry-Forward Request Upheld as Company Failed to Meet Production Capacity Requirements

Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC dismissed the petition challenging the rejection of a request for relaxation under Rule 9C read with Section 72A regarding carry-forward of losses from amalgamated companies. The court determined that the petitioner failed to achieve the required production capacity (50%) even during the requested three-year extension period. The court emphasized that Section 72A's objective is not merely to encourage corporate restructuring but to extend benefits only where amalgamating companies' industrial undertakings are genuinely revived or continued. The petitioner's multiple requests to modify conditions-first seeking time extensions and later requesting reduced production thresholds (from 50% to 36-42%)-were found unmeritorious, as the application was filed just one day before the expiry of the four-year post-amalgamation period.
