1 - 10 of 28 (0.60 seconds)Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Western India Oil Distributing Co. Ltd. on 23 April, 1997
17. Ergo, the key sequitur of the aforesaid principles
laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court and other rulings
are that, if either the assessee has offered income or the
Assessing Officer in the earlier assessment year has
assessed the income under the particular head which
originally was assessable in a different head, i.e., capital
gain, even though the same was liable to be assessed
under the head 'business or profession', then there is no
embargo either on the Assessing officer or on the
assessee to show the income or loss under the head
'business or profession' in the subsequent year. The
assessee can always point out in the subsequent year in
which it is claiming any deduction or loss that the
income offered in the earlier years was not shown under
the correct head and in this year the same is assessable
under the correct head which here in this case was
income or loss from the business or profession.
Western India Oil Distributing Co. Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax on 20 January, 1970
"19. Hon'ble Supreme Court's judgment did not specifically
reflect whether revenue had taken any objection to re-
determination of character of an income, which was earned in
an earlier assessment year, and when characterization so
assigned had received finality. One could have entertained a
little doubt whether Manmohan Das judgment (supra) may or
may not be viewed as an authority for the proposition that
such an objection, when taken, can be rejected. However,

Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Uttar ... vs Manmohan Das (Deceased) on 5 November, 1965
18. Thus, we are also of the opinion that claim
regarding the allowability of the bad debts or business
loss has to be determined by the Assessing Officer in the
year in which the loss has claimed in P&L account and
the assessment of the corresponding income as capital
gain in an earlier year will not be binding on the
assessee and it is always open for the assessee to point
out that it is to be assessed under the correct head, that
is business income. The fact that declaration and
assessment of the corresponding income has been
assessed as capital gain and accepted in the earlier year
will not have any impact and will not bind the assessee
and same has to be determined again in the Assessment
Year 2013-14 in the light of the principle laid down by
the Hon'ble Apex Court as discussed hereinabove. The
AO as well as the Appellate Authorities under the law
I.T.A. Nos.5169 & 5677/DEL/2017 32
can review the facts of the case and redetermined the
taxability of income and the claims to be allowed against
the same in the subsequent years and if certain mistake
or wrong decisions has been rendered in the earlier
years, the same cannot be perpetuated for subsequent
year and it will not be a legal impediment even though
the assessment for the earlier years has attained finality.
Further, another important thing is that the claim of
income or loss or any deduction has to be examined
afresh in the year in which it is claimed. Thus, the law
as culled out from the aforesaid judgment is that the bad
debt or loss which is claimed in this year has to be
determined in this year only without distributing the
earlier assessment which has attained finality, and
therefore, we hold that the claim of loss made in this
year is allowable as business loss.

counsel as incorporated above. The assessee is required

what inference of fact and legal inferences can be drawn.
