Dcit-4(1), Indore, Indore vs Maral Overseas Ltd, Khargone on 20 March, 2026
It is a settled proposition that if an assessee contributes towards
creation of or supporting a public facility for the benefit of the
assessee's employees, then the contribution will partake the character
of expenditure wholly and exclusively for the propose of business. This
view is supported by decision of Bombay High Court in CIT v. Belpahar
Refractories Ltd. (109 ITR 667): Palani Andavar Mills Ltd. v. CIT (110
ITR 742) : CIT v. Rupsa Rice Mills (104 ITR 249) and other cases.
