Leading authorities on Section 164

CIT v. K. Srinivasan
83 ITR 346 · 1972 · Supreme Court
129
citing judgments

The term 'tax' includes surcharge and cess. Surcharge and additional surcharge are considered components of income tax, which can be levied as a basic charge, surcharge, special surcharge, and additional surcharge.

CWT v. Trustees of H.E.H. Nizam’s
108 ITR 555 · 1977 · Supreme Court
46
citing judgments

Where the shares of beneficiaries in a trust are determinate, trustees must be assessed separately for each beneficiary's share, treating each beneficiary as an individual. The income is then taxed at the marginal rate applicable to individuals, not at the maximum rate for an association of persons.

CIT v. Sae Head Office Monthly Paid Employees Welfare Trust
271 ITR 159 · 2004 · High Court
30
citing judgments

Beneficiaries of a trust do not set up the trust, and trustees derive authority from the trust deed, meaning neither trustees nor beneficiaries form an association for a common purpose solely due to their existence.

CIT v. Shree Krishna Bandar Trust
247 ITR 1 · 2001 · High Court
23
citing judgments

A trust cannot be regarded as an Association of Persons (AOP) for income tax purposes if it is a valid trust.

Araadhya Jain Trust v. ITO
173 Taxmann.com 343 · 2025 · ITAT
22
citing judgments

The definition of maximum marginal rate under section 2(29C) can be interpreted to determine the applicable surcharge rates, particularly for income including dividends, as per the First Schedule to the Finance Act. This affects how surcharge is calculated on taxable income.
