7. We have heard rival submissions and gone through the facts and circumstances of the
case. We note that the assessee had incurred an amount of Rs.2,50,000/- during the AY
2008-09 being the sum paid to the Registrar of Companies as fee for increasing authorised
share capital of the company from Rs.50,00,000/- to Rs. 5,00,00,000/-. The company
instead of debiting the entire amount of Rs.2,50,000/- in that preceding year preferred to
spread the expenditure for five years. According to the assessee, the payment of fees paid to
ROC has got no bearing with the owning of property and as such it cannot be treated as
capital expenditure. On appeal, the Ld. CIT(A) has noted that the amount in question was a
statutory fees that was paid by the assessee to ROC for increasing the authorised share
capital. The expenditure was incurred in the preceding assessment year and the Ld. CIT(A)
took note that sec. 35D(2)(c)(iii) allows for deduction of expenditure 'by way of fees for
registering the company under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956' and was of the
opinion that the statutory fees paid for increasing the authorised share capital is nothing but
a corollary to the provision and, therefore, the assessee is entitled to one-fifth deduction
and, therefore, he deleted the addition. We note that the issue before us is no longer res
integra. The fees paid of Rs.2,50,000/- to the Registrar of Companies for increasing its
authorised share capital is capital in nature and the Ld. CIT(A) allowed the deduction of
expenditure u/s. 35D(2)(c)(iii) of the Act on a wrong footing as held by the Hon'ble Delhi

Tj Stock Broking Services P. Ltd, Mumbai vs Addl Cit Rg 4(2), Mumbai on 2 November, 2016
9. Brief facts as noted by the AO are that the assessee company paid salary as well as
commission to the five directors to the tune of Rs.1,37,91,000/-. The AO noted that the
payment of commission was for the first time and was on the basis of resolution dated
07.04.2008 wherein it was resolved to pay commission @ 2% of the turnover achieved by
the assessee company since the directors will be rendering extra labour and time. It was
noted by the AO that the amount as stated above as commission was shared by the Directors
equally. The AO taking note of the resolution passed on 07.04.2018 wondered as to how
the Directors as early as in April, 2008 was able to predict substantial increase in the
company's turnover and, therefore, according to him, it is nothing but an afterthought
decision and the resolution is ante-dated to provide for the alleged commission payments.
Though it was brought to the notice of the AO that from the earlier assessment years, the
assessee company had increased its turnover quite impressive in this year, however,
according to AO, the commission to the directors is about 51.74% of the profit and this is

nothing but siphoning off the windfall gain made by the assessee company on the sudden
increase of gold prices in the domestic and international markets. According to AO, the
directors are all brothers of the same family and the profit earned could have been disclosed
as dividend. However, in order to save the liability of dividend distribution tax, the assessee
company has given it in the form of commission and, therefore, by relying on the decision
of the Special bench of this Tribunal in M/s. Dalal Brocha Stock Broking (P) Ltd. Vs. Addl.
CIT (ITA No. 5792/Mum/2009 dated 22.06.2011) disallowed the claim of assessee. On
appeal, the Ld. CIT(A) allowed the claim of the assessee.
