Shwas Homes Private Limited v. The Deputy Commissioner of Income-tax, Circle 4(1) Cochin

Parties Involved

Facts Summary

Shwas Homes Private Limited filed twin appeals ITA No.124/Coch/2024 and ITA No.125/Coch/2024 for the assessment years 2010-2011 and 2012-2013, respectively, against the Commissioner of Income Tax, National Facilitation and Appeals Centre (NFAC). The appeals arose from orders passed under section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The assessee claimed a sum as a discount on reference rather than a commission payment, which led to the disallowance of the sum due to non-deduction of TDS. The Tribunal found that the lower authorities erred in disallowing the sum and allowed the former appeal ITA No.124/Coch/2024. Regarding the latter appeal ITA No.125/Coch/2024, the Tribunal noted the assessee's non-appearance in the lower appellate proceedings, leading to an ex-parte order. The Tribunal allowed the latter appeal for statistical purposes and restored the case to the NFAC for fresh adjudication.…
