"A fire broke out at the factory premises in April 1967. Apart from the amount of Rs. 76,600 received towards building and furniture and credited to these amounts (in fixed assets schedule) the amount receivable from the insurers (on account of stores and stocks) was Rs. 11, 17,2 7 1. Out of this Rs. 10,07,997 was accounted for by crediting 'raw materials' and 'stores and spare parts' accounts and the balance Rs. 1,09,274 was credited to insurance claims accounts.' 15A. The amount received from the insurer has been described by the directors as amount receivable on accounting stores and stocks. As observed by the Apex Court in the case of P.H. Divecha (supra), it is the true character and quality of the receipt that is to be determined for the purpose of ascertaining its exigibility to tax. There can be no doubt that the amount which the assessee received from the insurer was not on account of loss of any capital assets and, therefore, the amount received from the insurer is not an amount which is required to be excluded from the field of income from business.

CIT (1991) 191 ITR 647/59 Taxman 3, wherein the Apex Court while examining the question whether the money received towards insurance claim on account of damage to or destruction of the capital asset is received on account of the transfer of the assets within the meaning of section 45 of the Act, and, therefore, is chargeable to capital gains tax, observed that the money received under the insurance policy where the insurance is against destruction or loss of property is by way of indemnity or compensation for the loss or destruction of the property.
