Parmeshwar Engineers, Surat vs Assessee on 28 September, 2007

6.2 As per the Explanation, if it is not an employee, the person in whose name the KIP is taken has to be connected in some manner with the business of the person taking policy. The partners are not merely 'connected' to the firm. They are the firm, and they constitute the firm. Therefore, any partner cannot be a keyman for the firm. To that extent, I would respectfully reject the view taken by the Hon'ble Delhi Bench of the ITAT in the case of P. G. Electronics supra). In any case, the only issue before the ITAT was whether or not the premium paid on the KIP is allowable as a business expenditure. The ITAT held that it was allowable as a business expenditure since it was clarified as such in the Circular NO.762 issued by the CBDT. Para 14.1A of the Circular clarified that a keyman is an employee or a director whose services are perceived to have a significant effect on the profitability of the business. The premium is paid by th4e employer. The A. O. therefore, was fully justified in taking the view that the partner of a firm could not be a keyman and consequently, in disallowing the sum of Rs.11 lacs paid by the Assessee firm as premium for the KIP. The addition of the said sum is confirmed".
