Swadeshi Cotton Mills Co. Ltd. v. CIT

63 ITR 57Supreme Court of India1967#1698 most cited

What is Swadeshi Cotton Mills Co. Ltd. v. CIT authority for?

The question of whether an amount claimed as an expenditure was laid out wholly and exclusively for business purposes must be decided based on the facts and circumstances of each case. The Income-tax Officer retains the discretion to determine the deductibility of an expense, and the mere existence of an agreement or actual payment does not bind the officer to allow the deduction under Section 37.

67

judgments rely on this decision, according to BharatTax’s citation analysis of 366,470 Indian tax judgments — from 2016 to 2025.
