Disallowance u/s 14A – investments made in the sister concerns – Held that – In view of the judgment of Apex Court in S.A. Builders Ltd. v. CIT (2006 (12) TMI 82 – SUPREME COURT) this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that the investments made by the assessee in the equity shares of the sister concerns, which were established by joint venture, have to be necessarily treated as for business purpose. Therefore, as rightly found by this Tribunal by majority decision in EIH Associated Hotels Ltd. (2013 (9) TMI 604 – ITAT CHENNAI ), the dividend income earned by the assessee, if any, from subsidiary companies, is incidental one, therefore, the investments made by the assessee in its subsidiary companies cannot be reckoned for disallowance under Section 14A of the Act. (M/s Igarashi Motors India Ltd. Versus The Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax) – 2016 (5) TMI 334 – ITAT CHENNAI

Condonation of delay – delay of 48 days in filing the appeal – Appellant contended that delay was occured due to misplacement of the copy of O-I-O – Commissioner (Appeals) rejected the appeal observing that he has no power to condone the delay beyond the period of 30 days – Held that – it does not appear to be a deliberate lapse on the part of the appellants. It is further found that the delay has been adequately explained. Therefore, there is a good case on merit in favour of the appellant. Accordingly, the delay is condoned and the COD application is allowed for extending consionable justice to the appellant.
Company Law:
Question: Can a trust in which chairman of the Board is also a trustee, be a related party to the Company?
Answer: As per Definition of Related Party 2(76) of Companies Act 2013, trust is not included in the definition of Related party. Therefore, trust will not be Related party.
Question: Director’s resignation – Automatic cessation or pre-approval required
Answer: Though majority of the rulings have settled the principle that director’s resignation leads to automatic cessation of the person from the office of director, yet the CLB’s ruling in Manav Kumar Agarwal (supra) has ignited the controversy. However, with the introduction of section 168 in the 2013 Act, matter seems to have been put to rest.
Question: Can Is Form DIR 12 required to be filed for re-appointment of a whole-time director in a private limited company as per the provisions of section 196 of the Companies Act 2013?
Answer: As per Companies Act 2013, Company should file Form DIR-12 on reappointment of any Director. But MCA doesn’t allow the same and there is no option of re appointment in Form DIR-12. Therefore, Company will not able to file Form DIR-12.
Other update:
ICAI as part of its Go Green initiatives invites opinion from members on their choice to opt for e-journal / linked Journal Highlights instead of its hard copy. Members may send their option / choice at eboard@icai.in or they may contact +91-120-3034955 for any clarification (My Suggestion to ICAI is to share the cost saved as a concession in the membership fee to those who opt for e-journal to make the Green Initiative a success)
