Leading authorities on Section 2(24)(iia)
A provision for doubtful debts cannot be added back while computing book profits under Section 115JB of the Income-tax Act for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) purposes.
Additional depreciation under Section 32(1)(iia) can be claimed in the year an asset is acquired and installed, even if it is claimed in a subsequent year of acquisition and installation.
Additional depreciation under section 32(1)(iia) is allowable every year, distinguishing previous decisions that limited it to the initial assessment year.
Disallowance under Section 14A is not warranted merely because an assessee has sufficient interest-free funds to make investments that yield exempt income. No disallowance is called for if no expenditure is found to have been incurred for earning exempt income.
Where a capital investment subsidy is provided to accelerate industrial development, it is not to be reduced from the cost of assets for the purpose of calculating depreciation. Explanation 10 to Section 43(1) does not apply in such cases if the scheme's object is to accelerate industrial development.
Voluntary contributions specifically received towards the corpus of a trust cannot be brought to tax as income. Funds created for specific objectives remain capital funds and are not to be pooled with normal income.
Corpus donations received by a trust are not taxable income, and the corpus itself is not includible in the trust's income. This principle is supported by the interpretation of Section 2(24)(iia) in conjunction with Section 12 of the Income Tax Act.
Allowing deduction of interest paid by the assessee as business expenditure u/s.37(1) of the Act is not permissible when netting off interest received against interest paid.
