99 ITR 118Supreme Court of India1975#1469 most cited

What is CIT v. Hariprasad & Company Pvt. Ltd. authority for?

The terms 'income' or 'profits and gains' are inclusive of losses, signifying that losses are 'minus income' to be factored into the computation of taxable income. Therefore, set-off and carry forward provisions for losses apply exclusively to taxable income or gains and cannot be pressed into service against non-taxable gains, such as those exempt under a DTAA or other specific provisions.

For Respondent: Shri J L Bhatia, Sr. DR
Section 143(2)Section 145(3)

…definition of income in Section 2(24) of the Act is an inclusive definition and it is a settled principle that under the provision of Income Tax Act, income includes loss. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had held in the case of CIT v. Harprasad & Co. P. Ltd. (1975) 99 ITR 118 (SC) that the words ‘income’ or ‘profits and gains’, should be understood as including losses also. To reproduce from the order: From the charging provisions of the Act, it is discernible that the words "income" or "profits and gains" should be understood as including losses also, so that, in one sense "profits and gains" represent "plus income"…
