13. The learned counsel for the assessee, further referring to
various judicial precedents, including the decisions of ITAT
Mumbai Bench in the case of DCIT Vs. Mumbai Nasik Expressway
Limited in ITA No. 3910/Mum/2017 dated 15.04.2019 and the
decision in the case of ITO Vs. Andhra Pradesh Expressway
Limited in ITA No. 1522/Mum/2023 dated 25.08.2023 submitted
19 ITA No.612/Hyd/2024
BSCPL Aurang Tollway Limited
that, the Tribunal has consistently taken a view and held that, the
expenditure incurred for development of toll road on a BOT basis
gives rise to an intangible asset in the form of right to collect toll
revenue and the same falls within the purview of intangible asset,
as per Section 32(1)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The assessee,
on the basis of one possible view, has treated the cost incurred for
development of toll road as capital expenditure and the same has
been treated as intangible asset in the books of accounts and
depreciation has been claimed under Section 32(1)(ii) of the Act.
The A.O., after considering relevant documents, has rightly
considered the submissions of the assessee and passed the
assessment order. Therefore, he submitted that, the assessment
order passed by the A.O. is neither erroneous nor prejudicial to
the interest of the Revenue. Thus, the Ld. PCIT has erred in
setting aside the assessment order in terms of Section 263 of the
Income Tax Act, 1961.
