Leading authorities on Section 35(1)(ii)
Reassessment under section 147 is not valid if the Assessing Officer had formed an opinion on an issue in the original assessment, even if the reasons for that opinion were not explicitly recorded, unless new tangible material emerges.
The Supreme Court held that discount on the issue of debentures is a deductible expenditure that can be spread proportionately over the period for which the debentures remain outstanding, rather than being claimed entirely in the year of issue. This treatment acknowledges the enduring benefit derived from the funds raised through debentures.
Capital expenditure incurred by a trust from its own funds is considered an application of income, entitling the trust to claim exemption under Section 11(1) of the Income-tax Act.
The power to cancel registration granted to a trust is not an implied power under the General Clauses Act and requires express legislative provision. An express power to cancel registration was introduced later via amendment.
Fresh legal claims can be made during assessment or appellate proceedings, and the Assessing Officer should consider these claims for correct deductions after verification.
A donor cannot be held responsible for the utilization of their donation by a donee institution once the statutory conditions for claiming a deduction are met. Subsequent withdrawal of approval for the donee institution cannot retrospectively deny the donor the deduction.
The Tribunal has comprehensive jurisdiction to deal with issues in an appeal and can allow a new ground to be raised, assimilating issues from the CIT (Appeals) order.
Disallowance under Section 40A(2)(b) is not maintainable when both the payer and payee are assessed at the maximum marginal rate, as it results in a revenue-neutral situation.
An assessee should not suffer due to a mistake committed by the department, and the withdrawal of approval for a donation to a society should have prospective, not retrospective, effect.
