Bg Exploration & Production India Ltd., ... vs Dcit, International Taxation, ... on 17 July, 2018
So, in view of the law laid down by the
Hon'ble Apex Court in case of CIT vs. Enron Oil & Gas Limited
(supra), we are of the considered view that the income earned by
the taxpayer in foreign currency pursuant to the PSC entered into
with Government of India is governed by the agreement of PSC
and the foreign exchange losses on account of foreign currency
translation is an allowable deduction while computing the total
income of the taxpayer. In such circumstances, provisions of PSC
are to be applied and the disallowance made by AO/DRP on
46 ITA No.6791/Del./2017
account of difference in revenue is not sustainable, hence allowable
subject to verification by the AO. So, ground no.21 is determined
in favour of the taxpayer for statistical purposes.
GROUND NO.22
