Leading authorities on Section 192(1)
An employer is not in default under section 201 if they have made a bona fide estimate of employee income and deducted tax at source based on that estimate.
An employer making a bona fide estimate of taxable salary income is acting in accordance with established legal precedent.
Once the identity of the shareholders is established, no addition can be made in the hands of the assessee company under Section 68 for share capital or share application money, as it cannot be treated as undisclosed income.
An employer is not statutorily obligated to collect evidence from employees regarding the actual utilization of amounts paid towards leave travel concession or conveyance allowance, unless specific requirements are mandated by law or a CBDT circular.
The estimation of income for deducting tax at source under Section 192(1) of the Income-tax Act is valid when based on an honest and fair assessment by the assessee, a principle affirmed by the Supreme Court.
An order dismissing all grounds of appeal based on a single issue, in violation of Section 250(6), is an unlawful adjudication and renders the order irregular, making it a fit case for remand.
An appellate authority cannot travel beyond the provisions of law when adjudicating matters, as doing so is barred by jurisdiction and renders the action otiose.
Expenses incurred and reimbursed for seconded employees under a secondment agreement are not liable to tax deduction at source and do not constitute 'fees for technical services'. The secondment agreement itself forms an independent arrangement for securing services.
