Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Rasoi Limited on 19 May, 2011

that once the purpose of a subsidy is established; the mode of computation is not relevant as held in the decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Sahney Steel and Press Works Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Income tax [1997] 228 ITR 253(SC); CIT Vs. Ponni sugars and Chemicals Ltd. [2008] 306 ITR 392 (SC) and the decision of our High Court in case of CIT Vs. Rasoi Ltd. 335 ITR 438 (Cal.) against which SLP has been dismissed. The mode of computation/form of subsidy is irrelevant. The mode of giving incentive is reimbursement of energy charges. The nature of subsidy depends on the purpose for which it is given. Hence the assessee draws support from the decisions already discussed earlier as the same principle will apply here. Thus, the entire reason behind receiving the subsidy is setting up of plant in the backward region of West Bengal, namely, Bankura. Accordingly, we hold the aforesaid incentive subsidies are 'capital receipts' and is not an 'income' liable to be taxed in relevant assessment year 2010-11 on the basis of discussion made above and further taking into consideration the definition of Income under Section 2(24) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, where sub- clause (xviii) has been inserted including 'subsidy' for the first time by Finance Act, 2015 w.e.f. April, 2016 i.e. assessment year 2016-17. The amendment has prospective effect and had no effect on the law on the subject discussed above applicable to the subject assessment years."
