Previous ITAT and High Court decisions supported this view, stating that development authorities are not hit by the proviso to Section 2(15).

The Tribunal held that the payments made to franchisees were not covered under Section 194J as the assessee was providing services to the franchisees by allowing them to use its trademark and technical know-how, and the consideration flowed from the franchisees to the assessee. The Tribunal relied on its own previous decision in similar cases.

The Tribunal held that Section 71(2) of the Income Tax Act allows an assessee to set off business loss against any head of income, including capital gains, and that the assessee has the option to choose the order of set-off that provides maximum benefit. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to first set off the business loss against income from 'other sources' and then against 'capital gains'.
