Leading authorities on Section 245(2)
The assessed income can be lower than the returned income. Authorities are required to assist assessees in correcting over-assessments, even if it means reducing the income below the returned figure.
The purpose for which income is accumulated under section 11(2) must be specific and not general or routine. A failure to specify a clear purpose will result in the denial of exemption under sections 11 and 12.
Deductions under section 36(1)(vii) read with section 36(2) are allowable even if the company is not in the money lending business, provided the interest income from inter-corporate deposits is assessed as business income.
