Stya Paul vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax (Central) on 30 September, 1977
In CIT v. Lakshmipati Singhania [1973] 92 ITR 598 (All), the assessee was appointed as an adviser of a company by a board resolution which did not contain any terms and conditions under which he was to work. He was allowed a rent-free accommodation and the question was whether the value of the rent-free accommodation was assessable as salary or perquisite. The Allahabad High Court answered the question in the negative by holding that he was not a servant of the company.
