Dear Subscriber,

The following important updates are available at itatonline.org:

Essar Shipping Limited vs. CIT (Bombay High Court)

S. 28(iv): The Dept's argument that the waiver of a loan constitutes an operational subsidy which is taxable is not correct. There is a fundamental difference between "loan" and "subsidy" & the two concepts cannot be equated. While "loan" is a borrowing of money required to be repaid back with interest; "subsidy" is not required to be repaid back being a grant. Such grant is given as part of a public policy by the state in furtherance of public interest. Therefore, even if a "loan" is written off or waived, which can be for various reasons, it cannot partake the character of a "subsidy". The waiver of a loan cannot be brought to tax u/s 28(iv) of the Act

Conceptually, "loan" and "subsidy" are two different concepts. As per the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Indian Edition, the term "loan" has been explained as a thing that is borrowed, especially a sum of money that is expected to be paid back with interest; the action of lending. Black's Law Dictionary, Eight Edition, describes "loan" as an act of lending; a grant of something for temporary use; a thing lent for the borrower's temporary use, especially a sum of money lent at interest; to lend, especially money. In Supreme Court on Words and Phrases, it is stated that "loan" necessarily supposes a return of the money loaned; in order to be a loan, the advance must be recoverable; "loan" is an advance in cash which includes any transaction which in substance amounts to such advance

Arbitrariness And Income Tax

Advocate Dharan V. Gandhi has deliberated on the interesting topic of what is "arbitrariness" in a legislation and the extent to which it can make a legislation vulnerable to challenge under Article 14 of the Constitution. He has referred to several provisions in the Income-tax Act, 1961, such as sections 50CA, 56(2)(x), Rule 11UA, 194N, and explained why they suffer from the vice of arbitrariness and stand a risk of being declared invalid
