AI SummaryPartly Allowed

What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to depreciation on the right to collect toll as an intangible asset. It also held that interest income earned on fixed deposits maintained as per a loan agreement is business income, following its own previous decisions and the jurisdictional High Court's affirmation.

What were the facts?

The assessee claimed depreciation on toll roads as plant and machinery, which was disallowed by the AO. The CIT(A) allowed depreciation on the right to collect toll as an intangible asset but restricted it to 15% as claimed in the return, not the 25% applicable to intangibles. The Revenue appealed against the CIT(A)'s decision to allow depreciation on interest income as business income.

What were the issues?

Whether depreciation is allowable on the right to collect toll as an intangible asset and whether interest income on FDRs maintained under a loan agreement constitutes business income.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
