Running of hostel by the education institution is exempt: Allahabad High Court

Daya Nand Pushpa Devi Charitable Trust

Facts:
1. The main activity of the trust is running of education institute, is covered within the meaning of 'Charitable purposes' defined under Section 2(15) and has been registered under Section 12-A of the Income Tax Act. It is  running a Dental College in the name & style of Harsharan Dass Dental College at Ghaziabad.

2. An hostel is also being run as a statutory obligation as the institution cannot impart dental education without providing for the hostel. 

3. It was concluded in the assessment order that the total hostel receipt of the trust was excessively high and  the expenditures towards generator, electricity and security were also excessively high. 

4. The net surplus income arrived at by the Assessing Officer after deduction of allowable expenditure was subjected to tax at the appropriate rate under Section 11 (4A) of the Act.    

5. Sec 11(4A) provides that income of trust pertaining to any business carried out by the trust shall be taxable, unless it is incidental to the attainment of the objectives of the trust.

6. So the moot point is whether the hostel facilities could be regarded as business incidental to the attainment of objects of the trust.

Allahabad HC held as below:

1. The hostel is being run in discharge of a statutory obligation as institution in question cannot impart dental education without providing for the hostel.

2. The activity of running the hostel is not a separate business activity and surplus income from the hostel fee cannot be treated as profit and gains of a separate business or commercial activity of the trust.

3. So it is held that the exemption under Section 11(1) of the Act cannot be disallowed to the assessee.

23 June 2021 Updates

 ๐Ÿ’ธ Case Law on Cash deposit upto Rs 2.5 L during demonetisation:

๐Ÿ’Ž Smt Uma Agrawal (127 taxmann.com 735 Agra ITAT) ⚖️

๐ŸŒŽ Facts:
๐ŸŒด 1. Assessee was a housewife and had deposited Rs 2,11,500 in her bank account.

๐Ÿ“ 2. She had no business and claimed before the AO that this cash was out of her savings over a period of time and also claimed that after demonetisation, she had no option but to deposit the cash in the bank.

๐ŸŽ‹ 3. AO did not accept the contention and added the amount to income U/S 69A as unexplained money.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Note: As per Insstruction 3/2017 dated 21/2/17, AO cannot tax cash deposit less than Rs 2.5L during the demonetisation.

⚖️ The ITAT held as below:

๐Ÿ‰ 1. The small amount of Rs 2,21, 000/ would have been saved by her from various activities undertaken by her in the last many years.

๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿป‍♂️ 2. No evidence has been brought on record to prove that the deposit was from unexplained sources.

๐Ÿ“ 3. The word “may” had been used by the statute under section 69A, therefore applying the same analogy as laid down by SC in the case of Smt. P.K. Noorjahan(supra), we are of the opinion that the amount deposited by the assessee during the demonetization cannot be treated as income of the assessee.

๐ŸŒฑ 4. Hence the appeal of the assessee is allowed

๐ŸŒŽ Footnote:  Tribunal said that this decision may be treated as a precedent in respect to proceedings arising out of the cash deposit made by the housewives during the demonetization scheme 2016, only up to the limit of Rs 2.5 lakhs only.

TDS UNDER SECTION 194Q V/S TCS UNDER SECTION 206C(1H)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Who is liable to deduct TDS u/s 194Q?
Buyer will deduct TDS of seller
As per section 194Q, When a Buyer who is responsible for paying any sum to any resident seller for purchase of any goods of the value or aggregate of such value exceeding Rs.50 Lakhs during the year, he shall deduct TDS @ 0.10%, on amount exceeding Rs.50 Lakhs. In non-PAN/ Aadhaar cases, the rate shall be 5%.
TDS u/s 194Q = 0.1% of [Total Purchases (Minus) ₹ 50 Lakhs]

๐Ÿ‘‰ From when does provision of section 194Q are applicable?
The provisions of section 194Q shall be applicable from 1st July 2021.

๐Ÿ‘‰ To whom Section 194Q is applicable?
Section 194Q is applicable to those Buyer whose total sales, gross receipts or turnover from the business carried on by him exceed Rs.10 crore during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year in which the purchase of goods is carried out.
Which means for FY 2021-22, Buyer means person whose total sales, gross receipts or turnover from business exceeds Rs.10 crore in the FY 2020-21.
Also the threshold limit of Rs.10 crore as well as Rs.50 Lakhs shall be computed annually on PAN basis and not GSTIN basis.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Who is liable to collect TCS u/s 206(1H)?
Seller will collect TCS from buyer
As per Section 206(1H) sellers of goods whose total sales, gross receipts or turnover from the business carried on by it exceed 10 crore rupees during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year shall be liable to collect such TCS at a rate 0.1% on consideration received from a buyer in a previous year in excess of 50 lakh rupees. In non-PAN/ Aadhaar cases, the rate shall be 1%.
TCS u/s 206(1H) = [Total Sale Receipt (Minus) ₹ 50 Lakhs]

๐Ÿ‘‰ When situation arises wherein both sections become applicable then whether TCS u/s 206C(1H) is to be collected on receipt of sales consideration above 50 Lakhs or TDS u/s 194Q is to be deducted by the buyer on purchase of goods exceeding Rs.50 Lakhs?
Section 206C(1H) shall not apply if the buyer is liable to deduct TDS under any other provision of this Act on the goods purchased by him from the seller and has deducted such amount.
And Section 194Q says provisions of section 194Q shall not apply to a transaction on which––
(a) TDS under any of the provisions of this Act is deducted or
(b) TCS under the provisions of section 206C other than 206C(1H) applies.
So we can conclude that Section 194Q supersede Section 206C(1H), thus primary responsibility to deduct TDS is of buyer but if buyer fails to deduct TDS in this case will make Seller liable for TCS.
We would suggest you to obtain a declaration from buyer at the time of purchase itself stating that they would deduct and deposit TDS u/s 194Q.

๐Ÿ‘‰ What if buyer fails to deduct TDS u/s 194Q?
As per Section 40a(ia) – If buyer fails to deduct and deposit TDS, purchase expenditure to the extent of 30% will be disallowed and shall be subject to Income Tax at applicable tax rate.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Is TDS u/s 194Q applicable on Import Purchases as well?
No.
Since the provision of section 194Q, are applicable when a Buyer is responsible for paying any sum to any resident seller for purchase of any goods. TDS u/s 194Q is not to be deducted from Import purchases.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Is TDS u/s 194Q applicable on purchase of capital goods?
“Goods” as per CGST Act 2017 means any kind of movable property other than services. Thus TDS u/s 194Q is applicable on purchase of capital goods.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Whether TDS u/s 194Q is to be deducted on the total invoice value including the GST?
CBDT vide Circular No. 23/2017, dated 19-7-2017, has clarified that GST on services to be excluded while deducting TDS. However no such clarification is received about GST on goods. Also CBDT via its Circular No. 17, dated 29-09-2020 in respect of Section 206C(1H) has clarified to include GST on goods for collecting TCS. Thus we would recommend you to deduct TDS u/s 194Q on GST amount as well till the clarification is received from CBDT.

As per the amendment, in case, the person has not filed the return of income for past two financial years wherein timelines prescribed for filing return of income has expired (i.e. FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20), then the TDS shall be deducted at the higher rate as prescribed under section 206AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’).

Apart from the above, by virtue of Section 139AA(2) of the Act linking of Aadhar with PAN within the prescribed timelines is mandatory. In case of non-linking the existing PAN issued shall be considered as inoperative and TDS shall be deducted at the higher rate as applicable in case of person who does not have PAN i.e. @ 20%.

MCA allows Board meetings to be held via video conference on restricted matters. MCA has omitted Rule 4 of the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014 to relax the requirement of holding Board meetings with physical presence of directors in respect of the following matters:
approval of the annual financial statements;
approval of the Board’s report;
approval of the prospectus;
approval of the matter relating to amalgamation, merger, demerger, acquisition and takeover.

Now, these businesses can be transacted in Board meetings held through video conferencing or other audio-visual means by duly ensuring compliance of rule 3 of the Companies (MBP) Rules, 2014. Earlier, MCA had given such relaxation through a circular till 30th June, 2021.

No. 48461/2020 observed that service of notices, summons and exchange of pleadings/documents, is a requirement of virtually every legal proceeding and that the service of notices, summons and pleadings etc. have not been possible during the period of lockdown because this involves visits to post offices, courier companies or physical delivery of notices, summons and pleadings. The Court therefore, considered it appropriate to direct that such services may be effected by e-mail, FAX, commonly used instant messaging services, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal etc. However, if such services are made by means of said instant messaging services, then in addition thereto, the service of the same document/documents must be made via e-mail on the same date.

Sheetal Amritlal Patil & Co Vs State of West Bengal & Ors

Calcutta High Court
Date-11th June, 2021

Sub- Whether all directors/partners of a Company/ Partnership are liable in case of dishonour of a cheque issued by a Company/partnership or only directors/partners who were incharge of affairs of the Company/Partnership are liable.

The Hon’ble Calcutta High Court in this case was dealing with a case where the appellant filed an application praying cancellation of proceeding in a complaint case u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 on the pretext that the applicants were neither signatory to the agreement or the cheque and there was no averment in the petition that the applicants were incharge of the affairs of the partnership.

The Calcutta high court after noting catena of judicial decisions in this regard following the decision of the Apex Court in the case of S.M.S. Pharmaceuticals Limited vs. Neeta Bhalla & Anr., (2005) 8 SCC 89 held that It is trite law that merely being a partner in a firm would not make the petitioners accused in a case for dishonour of cheque issued by the said firm and It is necessary to specifically aver in a complaint under Section 141 that at the time the offence was committed, the person accused was in charge of, and responsible for the conduct of business of the company. This averment is an essential requirement of Section 141 and has to be made in a complaint. Without this averment being made in a complaint, the requirements of Section 141 cannot be said to be satisfied. Finally the court allowed the petition in view of Section 202 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 as per which if the complainant stays out side the jurisdiction of the court then enquiry has to be made as per this Section and as this was not the matter was set aside to the trial court for making enquiry and passing fresh order expeditiously.

This judgement thus reiterates the law regarding the liability of persons who are not in charge of affairs in relation to the cheque bouncing.
