Commissioner Of Income Tax, Large Tax ... vs Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd on 23 March, 2015
10. The second issue is whether the value of NPAs is to be adjusted while
determining book profits under Section 115 JA of the Act. The assessee here
argues that lease equalization is not a provision for diminution in asset value
and is a mere adjustment entry. It was argued that in this case, since lease
equalization was to the tune of ` 6,24, 96,982/- and debited to the profit and
loss account, and since the lease charges shown in the P&L Account were
the net amount of lease equalization charges, the gross block of fixed assets
was simultaneously reduced by an amount of ` 9,08,03,993/- which was the

accumulated lease adjustment. Therefore, no adjustment was made which
could be treated as being adjustment towards diminution in the value of
assets. The assessee relies on Commissioner of Income Tax v. Indian
Railway Finance Corporation Ltd. 2014 (362) ITR 548.

depreciation on rentals and the recovery of cost of capital. Therefore, merely
because it entered in the P&L account, did not make any difference. At any
rate, it could not be treated as a reserve. Therefore, ITAT was justified in
directing deletion of the said amount.
Cit vs Virtual Soft Systems Ltd. on 7 February, 2012
Next is
the lease equalization charge: it is described in Virtual Soft Systems (supra)
as "the result of the adjustment, which the assessee has to make whenever,
the amount put aside towards capital recovery is not equivalent to the
depreciation claimed by the assessee. The assessee, may claim depreciation
based on the provisions of the IT Act or, may even adopt the method of
depreciation provided under the Companies Act. In the event, the
depreciation claimed is less than the capital recovery, the difference is
debited in the profit and loss account in the form of lease equalization
charge, and similarly if, for any reason the depreciation claimed is more
than capital recovery then, the difference is credited, once again, in the form
of lease equalization charge to the profit and loss account. Therefore, the
assessee in effect debits or credits its profit and loss account with a lease
equalization charge depending on whether or not the depreciation claimed
is, less or more than the capital recovery."
