What did the High Court hold?

The High Court held that all substantial questions of law were answered in favor of the Revenue and against the assessee. Regarding question 1, the Tribunal had jurisdiction to take a view on the categorization of services. For questions 2 and 3, the Court found that the Eicher Consultancy Services Ltd. case was not applicable because the services in question (inspection, loading/unloading) were rendered in India to the foreign company, unlike the Eicher case where services were rendered from India to a foreign party who then used them in India. The Court reiterated that Section 80-O restricts the benefit to technical services rendered from India. Routine services, such as supervising, loading/unloading, and storage, are undisputedly rendered in India and do not qualify for deduction under Section 80-O, even if they form part of a consolidated report. For question 4, the Court noted that while some services might require expertise, they are still rendered in India and not from India, thus falling under Explanation (iii) to Section 80-O and being hit by its provisions. Therefore, the appeals were dismissed.

What were the facts?

The assessee, SGS India Pvt. Ltd., filed five appeals before the High Court challenging an order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Tribunal) dated February 27, 2007. These appeals pertain to Assessment Years 1992-93, 1994-95, 1995-96, 1996-97, and 1997-98. The core issue revolves around the eligibility of certain receipts for deduction under Section 80-O of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessee provides technical and professional services, including quality control, inspection, testing, and verification of goods, primarily under agreements with a foreign company, Societe Generale De Surveillance S.A., Geneva. The dispute centers on whether a portion of the fees received for services rendered in India, categorized as 'routine services', should be excluded from the deduction under Section 80-O.

What were the issues?

The Tribunal had to decide the following substantial questions of law: 1. Whether, in light of consistent past treatment for earlier assessment years, the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hold that a portion of net receipts was attributable to 'routine services' without any change in facts or circumstances, thereby affecting the deduction under Section 80-O? 2. Whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to categorize a portion of professional service receipts as attributable to 'routine services' when the assessee rendered a consolidated report? 3. Whether 'routine services' were an integral and indivisible part of the professional work, making their consideration eligible for deduction under Section 80-O? 4. Whether activities like supervising weight loading and storage of goods, requiring technical knowledge, could be classified as 'routine services' to deny deduction under Section 80-O? Assessee's Contentions: - The entirety of net receipts should be eligible for deduction under Section 80-O, as was the consistent stand for prior assessment years. - 'Routine services' are an integral and indivisible part of the consolidated report and the professional work, and their rendering in India should not disentitle the assessee to the Section 80-O benefit, citing CIT v/s. Eicher Consultancy Services Ltd. - Activities like supervising loading and unloading, and storage of goods, require high technical knowledge and expertise and cannot be considered routine. Revenue's Contentions: - The Tribunal had jurisdiction to categorize services. - Services rendered in India, even if part of a consolidated report, are not eligible for Section 80-O deduction if they are 'routine services'. - Relied on Anand & Anand v/s. CIT and H. Raghavendra Rao v/s. DCIT, which held that services rendered in India by an advocate arguing a matter for a foreign company are not eligible for Section 80-O, while giving an opinion to a foreign party is. - Routine services such as supervising, loading/unloading/storage are rendered in India and not from India, thus not qualifying for deduction under Section 80-O.

2.

On 12th August, 2008, all the five appeals were  admitted on the following identical substantial questions of law :­ (i) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal sought to have held in view of the consistent stand of the respondent for the assessment years 1985­ 86   to   1991­92   that   the   entirety   of   the   net   receipts   of   the Appellant were eligible for deduction under section 80­O of the Act, he had no jurisdiction to take the view that a portion of such receipts   was   attributable   to   alleged   “routine   services”   in   the present   year   in   the   absence   of   any   change   in   the   facts   and circumstances? (ii) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal ought to have held that the respondent had no jurisdiction to categorize a portion of the receipts of the Appellant   for   professional   services   as   attributable   to   alleged “routine services” in the light of the admitted position that the Appellant was rendering a consolidated report? (iii) Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law the Tribunal ought to have held that even the alleged “routine services” were an integral and an indivisible part of the professional   work   carried   out   by   the   Appellant   and   the consideration thereof was eligible for deduction under section 80­O?

Uday S. Jagtap and in law, the Tribunal erred in taking the view that activities like supervising the weight loading and storage of goods were “routine services” when the facts on record clearly showed that such activities required a high degree of technical knowledge and expertise and could not be performed by lay persons?

3.

It is an admitted position that the facts and the law applicable in all the five appeals are identical.  Therefore, for the purposes of these appeals, we refer to the facts set out in the appeal filed for Assessment Year 1992­93. These facts are as follows :­ (a) The appellant is engaged in providing technical and professional services.  These in the nature of quality control, inspection, testing and verification of goods. (b) On 27th December, 1978, the appellant entered into an agreement with M/s. Societe Generale De Surveillance S.A., Geneva (for short “foreign company”)   for rendering various technical and professional services with regard to import / export of goods by the foreign company from and to India.   On expiry of the aforesaid agreement another agreement dated 8th  March, 1984 was entered into with the foreign company and the same was  renewed by separate agreements from time to time, the last such agreement was dated 31st March, 1994. (c) The salient  features of the agreement dated 8th March, 1984 are 3 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

The Indian Company, in addition to the above technical services, will also provide its special expertise and  experience which it has  built up and formulated with experience of last 30 years on various Indian items under the diverse and wide­ranging Indian   conditions   and   circumstances.   The   Indian   Company whenever called upon by the Foreign Enterprise will also provide and render technical services such as pre qualification survey, inspection   and   report,   metallurgical   consultancy,   conducting evaluation,   evaluation   of   corrosion   and   erosion   and   leak detection test.” (d) In  respect of the fees received from the foreign company for technical services rendered under  the agreement of 27th  December, 1978 and 8th  March, 1984, the appellant made claim for deduction under Section 80­O of the Act.   During the period 1980 to 1984 i.e. A. Y. 1980­81 to 1984­85, the appellant approached the Central Bord of Direct   Taxes   (CBDT)   for   approval   of   the   above   agreements   and technical services.   The CBDT called upon the appellant to supply the break up of fees received under the following categories :­ (i) Laboratory / testing charges (ii) Professional charges (iii) Inspection fees (iv) Export fees; and (v) Other expenses (e) On submission of the above break up, the approval was granted from   the   Assessment   Years   1980­81   upto   1984­85   being   100% 6 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap deduction on account of Laboratory / testing charges and 33  1/3  % on account of professional charges under Section 80­O of the Act.  The fees attributable in respect of other services rendered to foreign company was not granted any deduction under Section 80­O of the Act. (f) The appellant protested at this arbitrary bifurcation of the fees received for technical services from the foreign company. This, on the ground that the services rendered are part of the continuous operation which culminates into technical services to the foreign party.  It is for the final report i.e. Technical services, that it is paid for in foreign exchange by the foreign company.  As a consequence of the above, the CBDT   while   approving   the   agreement   dated   8th  March,   1984   for Assessment Year 1985­86 for the purposes of Section 80­O of the Act varied its earlier approval.  Instead of fixing the percentage allowable, the CBDT directed that the consideration attributable to the technical services which would qualify for deduction under Section 80­O of the Act was to be determined by the Assessing Officer. (g) In consequence of the above direction, the Assessing Officer for the   Assessment   Years   1985­86   to   1991­92   allowed   the   claim   for deduction of 50% of the net foreign exchange earnings under Section 80­O of the Act.   This on the total fees received from the foreign company   after   deducting   expenses   therefrom   to   earn   the   foreign 7 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

(h) However, during the Assessment  Year 1992­93,  the  Assessing Officer called upon the   appellant to bifurcate its receipts into five heads referred to hereinabove (as done by the CBDT) for considering deduction under Section 80­O of the Act.  Finally, the Assessing Officer by   assessment   order   dated   30th  March,   1995   adopted   the   same methodology as was done by the CBDT in its approval to the agreement for   Assessment   Years   1980­81   to   1984­85   i.e.   100%   deduction   on account of laboratory / testing charges and 33 1/3% on account of professional charges.  The other claims on account of services rendered to the foreign company was disallowed in toto. (i) Being   aggrieved   by   the   order   dated   13th  March   1995,   the appellant filed an appeal to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)].   By an order dated 14th September, 1995, the CIT(A) held that there is no basis / reasons whatsoever for the Assessing Officer to deviate from the consistent practice of the Assessing Officer allowing deduction at 50% of the net foreign exchange earnings received from a foreign company in consideration of the technical services rendered for the Assessment Years 1985­86 to 1991­92. This in view of its activities remaining the same even for A.Y. 1992­93. Further, the CIT(A) draws attention that this very issue of deduction under Section 80­O of the Act 8 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap for Assessment Year 1985­86 was the subject matter of revision under Section 263 of the Act by the Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT). However,   it   also   records   the   fresh   assessment   order   passed   under Section 143(3) of the Act, the Assessing Officer did not disturb the deduction which was granted under Section 80­O of the Act in the earlier assessment order which was subject to revision under Section 263 of the Act.   On merits also while allowing the appeal, it held that the so called routine services are a part of technical services and cannot be excluded from the services rendered. (j) Thereafter,   our   attention   was   drawn   to   the   order   dated   4th January, 2007 of the Tribunal, emanating from reopening proceedings under Section 148 of the Act for Assessment Years 1985­86 and 1991­

92.

The   Assessing   Officer   sought   to   reopen   the   assessment   for Assessment Years 1985­86 and 1991­92 seeking to excude from the claim of deduction under Section 80­O of the Act, to the extent of certain services.   The Tribunal set aside the reopening notices as it found that regular assessment for Assessment Years 1985­86 and 1991­ 92 were made under Section 143(3) of the Act and deduction under Section 80­O of the Act was granted after due application of mind. Thus, seeking to reopen those assessments were mere a change of opinion as there was no change  in facts and / or in law which would 9 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

(k) In the meantime, the respondent­Revenue had filed an appeal to the Tribunal from the order dated 14th September, 1995 of the CIT(A) for the Assessment Year 1992­93. The impugned order dated 27th February, 2007 of the Tribunal holds that the provisions of Section 80­O of the Act have to be applied independently for each assessment year and on consideration of the services rendered by the appellant to the foreign company, it was found that the routine services which are rendered in India would not form a part of preparation and forwarding technical information to be used outside India for deduction under Section 80­O of the Act.  This on the ground that the services rendered by the appellant were held routine services rendered in India and not rendered outside India from India.   Thus, 20% of the consideration received was excluded from the benefit of deduction under Section 80­ O of the Act.     The balance consideration received was allowed in determining deduction under Section 80­O of the Act.

Regarding question no.(i) :­ (a) The learned Counsel for the Appellant submits that for the earlier Assessment Years i.e. from A. Y. 1985­86 up to 1991­92, deduction under Section 80­O of the Act was allowed at 50% of the net foreign exchange earnings on the total fees received from the foreign company. This after deducting expenditure incurred to earn the foreign exchange. The Principle of consistency and the law of precedent would require that even for the subject Assessment Years i.e. Assessment Years 1992­ 93 to 1997­98, the Revenue ought to have followed its earlier decisions, particularly, as there is no change in fact and /or in law.  In support, reliance is placed upon the decisions of this Court in PCIT v/s. M/s. Quest Investment Advisors Pvt. Ltd., (Income Tax Appeal No. 280 of 2016) rendered on 28th June, 2018. (b) It   is   further   submitted   on   behalf   of   the   Appellant   that   the Tribunal   by   its   order   4th  January,   2008   set   aside   the   re­opening proceedings   taken   for   Assessment   Years   1985­86   and   1991­92,   on identical issue as being without jurisdiction. Thus, the Tribunal ought to have allowed deduction under Section 80­O of the Act, as has been allowed for the Assessment Years 1985­86 to 1991­92 by the Assessing Officer. (c) In the present case, we find that there has   been admittedly 11 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap change in law w.e.f. A.Y. 1992­93. This by inclusion of sub­clause (iii) of Explanation to Section 80­O of the Act.  The aforesaid Explanation of Section 80­O of the Act added w.e.f. 1st April, 1992 reads as under :­ “Section : 80­O (iii)  services rendered or agreed to be rendered outside India shall include services rendered from India but shall not include services rendered in India.” The above Explanation for the first time specifically excludes services rendered in India while allowing deduction to services rendered from India. (d) The services rendered by the Appellant to the foreign company, inter alia, involves the activity of inspection, supervision of loading and storage etc.   These are activities which are in the nature of routine services and admittedly carried out in India. In the above facts, the impugned order of the Tribunal disallowed the deduction under Section 80­O of the Act to the extent of 20% of the consideration received as attributable   to   the   activity   being   rendered   in   India   and   not   being services rendered from India. (e) Thus, the principle of consistency and/or doctrine of precedents would not apply in the present facts, as undisputedly there is a change in law.   The impugned order of the Tribunal on facts found that the routine services were   rendered in India and not from India.   Thus, 12 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap would   not   qualify   for   deduction   under   Section   80­O   of   the   Act. Moreover, the decision of the Tribunal in the case of re­opening of an Assessment for A. Y. 1985­86 and 1991­92 being held to be bad by the Tribunal by order dated 4th January, 2007 will not help the Appellant as the tests to  be applied to determine whether or not, re­opening of an Assessment is permissible under the law, would be entirely different from   assessment   done   in   regular   proceedings.     The   jurisdiction   to reopen an assessment is a very limited jurisdiction   hemmed in by various limitations, amongst them being no notice for reopening can be issued only on a change of opinion.  In any event, there is admittedly, a change in law for the subject assessment years from the    A. Y. 1985­96 and 1991­92 for which reopening notice was issued.  Thus, the same would not have any impact on the present proceedings. (f) In the above view, this question is answered in the negative i.e. in favour of the Respondent­Revenue and against the appellant­assessee.

Regarding question Nos. (ii) and (iii) :­ (a) It is contended by the appellant­assessee that the fees received by the Appellant is for a consolidated report which also includes routine services.  Although these routine services are rendered in India it is an integrated and indivisible part of the technical services rendered to a 13 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap foreign   company   as   evidenced   by   the   report.     Therefore,   it   is   not permissible to exclude some part of the technical services on the ground that it is rendered in India. (b) Moreover, it is submitted that the use in India of the technical services will not deprive the appellant the benefit of deduction under Section 80­O of the Act.  In support, Appellant places reliance upon the decision   of   the   Delhi   High   Court   in   the   case   of  CIT   v/s.   Eicher Consultancy Services Ltd., 167 Taxman 64. In the aforesaid case, the assessee   therein   provided   professional   services   of   management consultancy services to a foreign party abroad. The foreign party paid assessee therein in foreign exchange and the assessee claim the benefit of Section 80­O of the Act. The services so rendered to the foreign company were used by the foreign company in India.   It was in the above context, that the Appellant states that rendering of the services in India, would not deprive the Appellant the benefit of Section 80­O of the Act. (c) We find that the aforesaid case would have no application to the present facts, as the services which are being rendered in respect of inspection, loading/ unloading are services which are all rendered in India to the foreign company and not a case like in Eicher Consultancy Services Ltd. (supra) where services are rendered to the foreign party 14 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap from India and the foreign party then uses these services/ technical know how/ technical knowledge in India. (d) In  fact,  Mr.  Suresh  Kumar,  learned Counsel  for  the   Revenue invites our attention to the decision of the Delhi High Court in Anand & Anand v/s.CIT 152 Taxman 113 and the Karnataka High Court in the case of H. Raghavendra Rao v/s. DCIT 49 Taxmann.com 425. In both the aforesaid cases, the Courts held that where an Advocate renders services in India, when he argue the matter for the foreign company in India, then the Advocate will not be entitled to the benefit of Section 80­O of the Act. However, when the Advocate gives an opinion to a foreign party, then it would stands covered by Section 80­O of the Act as it satisfies Explanation (iii) thereto,  namely – rendering of services from India to a foreign party abroad. (e) It was also contended that the fees are received for the entire report from the foreign company.   Thus, the so called routine services are an indivisible part of the report and cannot be excluded. (f) We note that Section 80­O of the act very clearly restricts the benefit of deduction thereunder, only to the extent technical services are rendered from India.  The routine services are undisputedly services such as supervising, loading/ unloading/ storage rendered in India and not out side and / or from India.   Therefore, would not qualify for 15 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap deduction under Section 80­O of the Act. This, even if, it forms a part of consolidated report furnished to the foreign party. (g) In the above view, Question Nos. (ii) and (iii) are to be answered in the negative i.e. in favour of the Respondent­Revenue and against the appellant­assessee.

7.

Regarding question no.(iv) :­ (a) Appellant   submits   that   the   work   of   supervising,   loading   and unloading, storage of goods in the ship were highly specialized services requiring   technical   knowledge.   Thus,   the   consideration   received thereon   could   not   be   denied   on   the   ground   that   they   are   routine services. (b) We find that loading and storage of goods for services which may require special expertize would not necessarily be in the nature of technical services.     In fact, clause (5) of the Agreement (extracted above)   entered   into   by   the   Appellant   with   the   foreign   company, specifically provides that whatever special expertise or experience is required, keeping in mind the Indian conditions, the said services would be over and above technical services rendered under the Agreement.   It would, therefore, be in the nature of special expertize which would not necessarily amount to technical services. 16 of 17 Uploaded on - 21/08/2020 Downloaded on - 28/10/2026 03:45:03

Uday S. Jagtap (c) In any event, this routine services such as supervising, loading and storage of good, even if it requires high degree of technical know how and experience, it would still be a services rendered in India and not a service rendered from India. Consequently, it would be hit by Explanation (iii) of the Act to Section 80­O of the Act. (d) In the above view, this question is answered in the negative i.e. in favour of the Respondent­Revenue and against the appellant­assessee.

8.

In   the   above   view,   all   the   substantial   questions   of   law   are answered   in   favour   of   the   respondent   Revenue   and   against   the appellant­assessee for all the subject assessment years i.e. Assessment Years 1992­93 to 1997­98. 9. Accordingly, all these five Appeals relating to Assessment Years 1992­93, 1994­95, 1995­96, 1996­97 and 1997­98 are dismissed.     No order as to costs. (SANDEEP K. SHINDE J.)
