What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that non-compete fees are not eligible for depreciation as intangible assets. However, rental income from a property should be treated as income from house property, not business income. The assessments made under Section 153A were quashed due to a lack of proper approval under Section 153D.

What were the facts?

The assessee claimed depreciation on non-compete fees and treated rental income as business income. The Assessing Officer disallowed depreciation and treated rental income as business income. The assessee also raised an additional ground regarding the validity of approval under Section 153D for assessments made under Section 153A.

What were the issues?

Whether non-compete fees qualify as intangible assets for depreciation, and whether rental income should be taxed as house property or business income. Additionally, the validity of assessments made under Section 153A due to procedural defects in approvals under Section 153D was examined.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 32(1)(ii),Section 24(a),Section 14A,Section 153A,Section 153D
