DIRECT TAX:-

Vs DCIT]
- The Supreme court held that amount received as a subvention/grant from the parent company by a loss-making subsidiary cannot be considered as a revenue receipt in the hands of the subsidiary company as the grant was made by a parent company to protect its investment made in the subsidiary.
