Leading authorities on Section 50(2)
Interest received on compensation or enhanced compensation from compulsory acquisition of land is taxable under the head 'Income from other sources' in the year of receipt, as per the amended provisions, with a 50% deduction available under section 57(iv).
When the High Court admits a substantial question of law concerning an assessee's claim or alleged default, it indicates the assessee's bona fides, thereby preventing the imposition of penalties under sections 271(1)(c) or 271C. The mere disallowance of a claim or an addition by revenue authorities does not automatically lead to a penalty if the issue is debatable and pending appeal.
A word, clause, or sentence from a court judgment, when taken out of context, does not represent a complete exposition of the law on a question that the judgment did not explicitly address.
The fiction created by Section 50(1) and (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, applies only to the computation of capital gains under Sections 48 and 49, and not to other provisions. Section 54E is available for exemption irrespective of whether the asset is depreciable or not.
A commission of 0.50% charged by a parent company for a corporate guarantee is considered to be at Arm's Length Price (ALP). This rate is used for adjustments in transfer pricing.
Managerial services require both planning and execution; mere execution of directions from another party does not qualify as managerial services.
Section 14A aims to prevent the claiming of deductions for expenses incurred in relation to tax-exempt income, and a narrow interpretation that defeats this purpose is incorrect. The concept of 'real income' must be considered, as taxation of 'notional income' is not permissible.
The conditions for claiming a bad debt deduction under Section 36(1)(vii) read with Section 36(2) are not fulfilled if the assessee fails to provide details of the parties associated with the debts or evidence that these amounts were offered to tax in earlier years. An alternate claim for loss under Section 28 is denied without evidence substantiating the loss in the relevant assessment year.
