Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC ruled on multiple expenditure deduction claims by a coal mining entity. The court largely upheld the Tribunal's decision, allowing deductions for education, community development, sports and recreation, and social welfare expenses as legitimate business expenditures mandated by National Coal Wage Agreement. For environmental and transit camp expenses, the matter was remitted to the Assessing Officer for re-examination. Significantly, the court ruled against the assessee on overburden removal expenses, categorizing them as capital expenditure rather than revenue expenditure, irrespective of the mining stage. The court also confirmed additional depreciation entitlement for the Nigahi Project due to increased production. Overall, the decision balanced business operational expenses with strict interpretations of capital versus revenue expenditures.
