Share Premium can be treated as Undisclosed If High Premium is not justified by Valuation Report

Bangalore bench of ITAT in the case of M/s. Cornerstone Property Investments Pvt. Ltd. vs. Income Tax Officer, ruled that Share premium received can be assessed as undisclosed income if the high premium is not justified by a valuation report and the high premium is not supported by the financials. 

In instant case Assessee engaged in the business of Real Estate filed its revised return declaring a loss. Following the consequential proceedings notice under section 147 issued, later dropped by the AO and finally, assessment was completed with the income of Rs.49.50 Crores shown as “Share Premium” as ‘Income from other sources’. 

On appeal, the CIT (A) upheld the action of the AO and the Assessee carried the matter to this tribunal. It was observed by the Assessing Officer that a company by name, M/s. Walden Properties Pvt. Ltd., had invested an amount of Rs.50 Crores and in lieu, thereof the assessee had issued 5 lakh shares of face value of Rs.10 per share. Accordingly, AO held the transaction was not the genuine one.

Deposit Of Minimum 20% Fine/Compensation U/s 148 NI Act Mandatory

In OP(Crl.).No.348 OF 2019, T.K.SAJEEVAN vs FRANCIS T.CHACKO, the appeal was filed against the order of the lower court to deposit 25% of the fine before filling of appeal. The appellant argued that the deposit introduced through the Section 148 of the NI Act after amendment was directory in nature as it used the term 'may' while mentioning the issue of deposit. The Kerala High Court however disagreeing held that in view of the object of the Legislature while incorporating Section 148 into N.I. Act, the word 'may' will have to be read as 'shall'. The imposition of payment contemplated under Section 148 N.I. Act cannot be restricted to some prosecutions and evaded in other prosecutions. Since the amount directed to be deposited being compensation, undoubtedly, it is liable to be ordered to be deposited irrespective of the nature of the prosecution.

Jurisdiction of consumer forum is not ousted even if the other party has filed suit on the same matter in Civil Court

In Yashwant Rama Jadhav v. Shaukat Hussain Shaikh, First Appeal No. 1229 of 2017, decided on 18.11.2017,  the grievance of the petitioner before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission was that appellants/complainants had entered into agreements with the respondents for purchase of residential flats, which the respondents were to construct and despite paying the substantial amount to the respondents, the construction of the flats had not been completed.
