Leading authorities on Section 115BAA
An assessment order is not erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue merely because it does not explicitly discuss an issue for which the Assessing Officer had raised queries and the assessee had provided a response. In such a scenario, the Principal Commissioner cannot invoke revisionary powers under Section 263.
Payments that are compensatory in nature, such as interest paid for the delayed payment of statutory dues like cess, are an allowable business deduction under section 37(1) of the Income-tax Act. Such payments are not considered a penalty for an infringement of law.
Interest on arrears of tax is compensatory in nature, not penal, and is therefore an allowable deduction under the Income-tax Act. This decision reversed a previous Full Bench ruling.
