THE ACIT, PATAN CIRCLE,, PATAN vs. RANJIT BUILDCON LTD.,, UNJHA

The Revenue has raised identical grounds in all these appeals. As we are firstly taking up the appeal filed by the Revenue for the Assessment Year 2008-09 i.e.

“1. The learned CIT(Appeals) has erred in law and on facts in deleting the disallowance of deduction made by the AO of Rs.6,28,39,797/- under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act.

On the facts and circumstances of the case the Ld. CIT(A) ought to have upheld the order of the Assessing Officer. It is therefore prayed that the order of the learned CIT(Appels) may be set aside and that of the AO be restored to the above extent.”

The assessee is engaged in the business of Civil Construction and filed its original return of income on 30.09.2008 thereby declaring income of Rs.11,38,18,730/- after claiming deduction of Rs.6,38,87,090/- under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Thereafter, the assessee company again filed the second revised return of income on 31.10.2009 declaring total income of Rs.11,02,44,240/-. The same was processed under Section 143(1) of the Act on 31.03.2010. The case was selected for scrutiny and notice under Section 143(2) of the Act was issued to the assessee on 19.08.2009 which was served upon the assessee on 26.08.2009.

In response to notice under Section 143(2), Tax Consultant of the assessee attended the assessment proceedings from time to time and submitted the details as called for. The Assessing Officer observed that the assessee claimed deduction under Section 80IA(4) of Rs.6,38,87,090/- but the assessee did not fulfil the conditions laid down under Section 80IA(4) of the Act for allowing the deduction and, therefore, the Assessing Officer vide show cause notice dated 10.12.2010 called upon the assessee to explain why the claim for deduction under Section 80IA of the Act should not be disallowed. In response to the said notice, the assessee company furnished the reply dated 08.12.2010 and 20.12.2010. The assessee highlighted in the said reply that the assessee is doing the development of Infrastructure Faciality and, therefore, entitled for deduction under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. The assessee also submitted that the assessee is dealing with the development work of Infrastructure Faciality and also given the details of the same which was carried out during the year.

The Assessing Officer further observed that the work contract received as per Sl. Nos.1, 3 to 9, 12-14, 16, 20, 22-32 & 34-35 by M/s Ranjit Construction Company who was a separate entity and was assessed as a firm. The Assessing Officer observed that the assessee company was incorporated as Registered Company on 14.12.2006 under the name of “Ranjit Buildcom Limited” and started its business activities as company whereas the initial agreement was taken place between various Departments/Bodies etc. with Ranajit Construction Company which was a firm. The Assessing Officer held that the first condition of Section 80IA(4) clearly states that Enterprise should be owned by a Company and only a company can start developing, operating & maintaining any Infrastructure Project. The Assessing Officer further observed that the assessee has parted on this front as three major work was completed as a firm. The Assessing Officer further observed that on verification of documents filed in respect of the 35 work contracts, the assessee has entered into agreement only in the capacity of a “Contractor” and contract receipt is not qualified for the deduction under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act as per the provisions of Section 80A(4)(i)of the Act. The income should be derived from the Enterprises/Undertaking for developing, operating & maintaining or , 2117/Ahd/2013, 2306, 2307, 2308/Ahd/2014,3121/Ahd/2015, 1230/Ahd/2016, 1620/Ahd/2017 & 1673/Ahd/2019 Assessment Years: 2008-09, 2009-10, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2016-17 respectively Page 6 of 34 developing, maintaining & operating the project. The Assessing Officer held that any person who execute the work contract entered into with undertaking or enterprises shall not be eligible for the deduction under Section 80IA of the Act and thus further concluded that the assessee company is not entered in BOT, BOOT &BOLT System, therefore, not entitled for deduction under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act and thus made disallowance of Rs.6,38,87,090/-. The Assessing Officer also made addition of Rs.36,280/- as late remittance of Employees Contribution to the PF and disallowance of interest on Income Tax amounting to Rs.11,804/-.

Being aggrieved by the Assessment Order, the assessee filed appeal before the CIT(A). The CIT(A) partly allowed the appeal of the assessee.

The Ld. DR submitted that the CIT(A) was not right in deleting the disallowance of deduction made by the Assessing Officer at Rs.6,28,39,797/- under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. The Ld. DR submitted that the assessee company was registered as company on 14.12.2006 and the documents related to the work contracts were entered by the firm. The Ld. DR further submitted that separate project-wise report was required under Sub-sclause-2 of Rule 18BBB of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. The Ld. DR further submitted that the assessee company has entered into a contract agreement as a “Contractor” and earned income as “Contract Receipt” and, therefore, its income is not entitled for deductions under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. The Ld. DR further submitted that the TDS certificates issued by Tax deductor i.e. Municipal Corporation, Irrigation Department, Road & Building Division, Salinity Control Division wherein the nature of work shown as contract and tax deducted under Section 194C of the Act which proves that the assessee company is a “Contractor” and not as a “Owner” of the project/enterprises. The Ld. DR further submitted that the assessee company has not entered into any agreement as a owner of the project/enterprises but entered into agreement as a work contractor in all 35 works done by the assessee company. The Ld. DR further submitted that the list of projects attached with form no.10CCB relevels that the assessee company has got the work by way of filing , 2117/Ahd/2013, 2306, 2307, 2308/Ahd/2014,3121/Ahd/2015, 1230/Ahd/2016, 1620/Ahd/2017 & 1673/Ahd/2019 Assessment Years: 2008-09, 2009-10, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2016-17 respectively Page 7 of 34 tender with various Departments of the Central/State Governments/Local Authorities/Boards etc. with the terms & conditions that work was assigned to the assessee to complete the work within the stipulated time i.e. 12 months only and thus the question of ownership of the company on enterprise is not established. The Ld. DR further submitted that the assessee has not fulfilled the first condition under Section 80IA(4) wherein the enterprise should be owned by a company. In assessee’s case, the work contract received was by M/s. Ranjit Construction Company who was a separate entity and was assessed as a firm and the present assessee company was incorporated as registered company on 14.12.2006 under the name of Ranjit Buildcon Limited. The Ld. DR further submitted that in these 35 work contracts the assessee company entered into an agreement only in the capacity of a Director under contract receipt is not qualified for the deduction under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. The Ld. DR further submitted that in the instant case, the assessee company has no right to operate and maintain infrastructure and, therefore, the deduction which is related to enterprise/undertaking for developing, operating & maintaining or developing, maintaining & operating the project will not come under the purview of Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act as the assessee company is dealing with work contrafact only. The Ld. DR further submitted that the Assessing Officer has elaborately verified all the evidences brought on record and, therefore, the CIT(A) was not right in deleting the disallowance in respect of deduction under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act.

The Ld. AR submitted that the assessee in fact has given detailed reply thereby stating that the assessee since the beginning was carrying on the business of infrastructure development such as construction of Dam, Bridges etc. and have maintained workwise accounts in its books of account. The work receipt of each work is credited to respective work account and expenses pertaining to each work are debited to respective work account. The Ld. AR further submitted that the assessee’s books of account are audited as per Companies Act and Income Tax Act. The Ld. AR further submitted that the assessee is dealing with development of infrastructure and, therefore, the assessee is entitled for deduction under Section , 2117/Ahd/2013, 2306, 2307, 2308/Ahd/2014,3121/Ahd/2015, 1230/Ahd/2016, 1620/Ahd/2017 & 1673/Ahd/2019 Assessment Years: 2008-09, 2009-10, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2016-17 respectively Page 8 of 34 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. The Ld. AR particularly pointed out that the assessee company is a limited company registered in India and the assessee fulfilled all the conditions laid down in the said Section for allowing the deduction. The Ld. AR summitted that the development of work of Infrastructure faciality is such that project-wise account cannot be prepared as there was more than one Infrastructure facility were carried on and there is no specific provisions under Section 80IA of the Act to maintain separate project-wise accounts. The Ld. AR further submitted that there is no bar in the provisions of Section 80IA of the Act that there should be no other income because income from Infrastructure faciality because the word used in gross total income and income from Infrastructure facility is to be computed under Income Tax Act. The Ld. AR further submitted that the assessee filed detailed working of income from Infrastructure Facility carried out by the assessee company during the year and whatever direct income and expenditure are there, the same was considered as such and in respect of indirect expenditure proportionate amounts were considered. The Ld. AR also pointed out the audit report in Form No.10CCB thereby stating that all the 35 Infrastructure facilities were done by the assessee during the present Assessment Year. In fact, the assessee submitted Annexure-A appended to the said audit report thereby giving details of list of 35 Infrastructure faciality alongwith copy of work order. In fact, the Assessing Officer at no point of time held that the assessee was not carrying out any Infrastructure facility either in developing or maintaining. The assessee entered into agreement with all the Government Authorities and Local Boards wherein the work order/letter of intent was issued as per the requirement of the Infrastructure Facility, its development and maintenance as envisaged in the tender documents which is the governing agreement between the Central Government/State Governments/Local Boards or any other Statutory Bodies for developing, maintaining and operating Infrastructure facilities. Though at the time of assessment proceedings the copy of agreement from the various Government Authorities were not supplied but the same was called upon from the Government Authority by the assessee and asked for the time before the Assessing Officer during the assessment proceedings to file the same at the later stage. The Ld. AR , 2117/Ahd/2013, 2306, 2307, 2308/Ahd/2014,3121/Ahd/2015, 1230/Ahd/2016, 1620/Ahd/2017 & 1673/Ahd/2019 Assessment Years: 2008-09, 2009-10, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2016-17 respectively Page 9 of 34 further submitted that all the tender documents as well as the copy of work orders includes the risk and the penalty provisions which itself speaks that the assessee after developing and operating the infrastructure facility and when the same is completed still has to maintain such infrastructure facilities for further specific period which started from two years to 5 years in each of all these 35 infrastructure facilities and if it is not maintained and if there is any loophole in the infrastructure facility, the assessee company is responsible for the same and will be penalised as per the tender agreement as well as work contracts. In fact, there is penalty schedule mentioned in cases of lapses on the part of the assessee company. Thus, no other authority but the assessee himself has an obligation to not just develop the Infrastructure Facility or operate the infrastructure facility but also to maintain such infrastructure facility which itself shows that the assessee is fulfilling all the conditions as envisaged under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act.

We have heard both the parties and perused all the relevant material available on record. It is pertinent to note that the CIT(A) has taken cognisance of all the tender agreement as well as the work contract including the risk factor as envisaged upon the assessee company and thereafter given a detailed finding. The Ld. AR relied upon the following decisions:-

The above decisions categorically mention that when the assessee is developing the infrastructure facility that of maintaining at its own risk as well as when the accounts were also presented including all the projects of infrastructure facility, the assessee has fulfilled all the requirement as envisaged under Section 80IA of the Act and, therefore, there is no need to interfere with the findings of the CIT(A). Furthermore, the decision of the Tribunal in the case of M/s. N.C.C. – M.S.K.E.L. (J.V.) vs. ITO, the Tribunal has dismissed the appeal of the assessee but in those cases where the risk factor of the maintenance of the infrastructure facility was not on the assessee therein and in fact the work contract is not covered the risk factor of the direct impact on the assessee therein, therefore, the said decision will not be applicable in the present assessee’s case. The assessee in the present case has categorically given all the 35 contracts including the tender agreement which was quoted by the CIT(A) in paragraph no.5.1 at page nos.5 & 6 of the order and categorically held that the 12 infrastructure facilities, defect liability period and maintenance was upon the assessee which varied from 6 months to 36 months as given in the Paper Book before the CIT(A). The CIT(A) also, while looking into each of the project, has categorically mentioned that the assessee is a company which came into existence on conversion of partnership firm into Limited Company under Chapter-IX of the Companies Act, 1956 w.e.f. 13.12.2006. Prior to that, the partnership firm under the name and style of Ranjit Construction Company was carrying on the business of developer/construction etc. The company had converted from a firm into a company limited by shares by operation of law under Part-IX of the Companies Act, 1956 as going concern and continued the partnership business including all its assets, moveable and immovable, rights, debts and liabilities in connection therewith and had so converted before the commencement of the previous year has to be in question but not the year from 2007-08 onwards. The observation of the CIT(A) in respect of all the projects has categorially mentioned that out of 35 projects only 17 projects have been claimed to have been yielded profit and other projects according to the assessee have yielded loss. The loss has been reduced from the eligible profit, therefore, the same was not taken into account. The CIT(A) while describing agreements and its terms has , 2117/Ahd/2013, 2306, 2307, 2308/Ahd/2014,3121/Ahd/2015, 1230/Ahd/2016, 1620/Ahd/2017 & 1673/Ahd/2019 Assessment Years: 2008-09, 2009-10, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2016-17 respectively Page 11 of 34 categorically taken into account the specific projects thereby mentioning that the assessee was from the very beginning involved in developing, maintaining the infrastructure with Agencies of that of Central Government, State Government, Local Authorities etc. and the assessee held responsible for any damage or loss of the property for 59 months and defect liability period of 2 months specifically in some of the projects which envisage that the assessee is sole infrastructure developer in the present scenario in the projects where CIT(A) has observed so and there was no other third party involved in these projects for conducting the sub- delegation of the work awarded to the assessee company. The maintaining of the said infrastructure in each of these 17 projects though deferred but the maintenance is more than 30 months that means almost more than two years and, therefore, the assessee has established that the assessee was the sole developer in the present contracts which are related to the developing, operating and maintaining the infrastructure facilities as envisaged under Section 80IA(4)(i) of the Act. It is further seen that the CIT(A) has examined all these aspects and has given a categorical finding including all the projects involved and, therefore, there is no need to interfere with the finding of the CIT(A). Hence, appeal filed by the Revenue being Assessment Year 2008-09 is dismissed.
