CIT v. HCL Comnet Systems & Services Ltd.

305 ITR 409Supreme Court of India2008#911 most cited

What is CIT v. HCL Comnet Systems & Services Ltd. authority for?

For computing book profits under Section 115JB, an Assessing Officer's power is limited to examining duly certified books and making adjustments only as per the Explanation. A provision for bad and doubtful debts, being a diminution in the value of an asset (receivable), does not constitute a 'provision for liability' under Clause (c) of the Explanation and therefore cannot be added back.
