Narang Overseas Pvt. Ltd. vs The Acit on 28 February, 2007
24. The CIT(A) observed that there was an opening balance in respect
of the said party as on 01.04.2004 amounting to Rs. 9,15,916.94, and in
the month of February 2005, the assessee received further sum of Rs.
30,662.25, taking the aggregate amount of advance to Rs. 9,46,579/-.
The CIT(A) has made a reference to the decision of Income Tax
Appellate Tribunal, in the case of Shri Vardhman Overseas Ltd. vs. ACIT
[2008] 24 SOT 393 (Delhi), where it was held that the genuineness of the
advances can only be examined in the year, in which they were credited
in the accounts of the assessee. The following observation of the
Tribunal was taken into consideration by the CIT(A):
The Income Tax Act, 1961
Section 68 in The Income Tax Act, 1961 [Entire Act]
Commissioner Of Income Tax vs Foss Electronic on 25 February, 2003
It is evident that the assessee is following the
Mercantile System of Accounting. It is also undisputed
that for the purposes of accounting of the Duty
Drawback, it is accounted for on cash basis. Sec.
145(1), which was amended by the Finance Act,
1995,w.e.f. 1.4.1997 provides an option to the assessee
to follow either cash or mercantile system of
accounting. The hybrid system of accounting as it
stood prior to the amendment cannot be followed after
31.03.1997. In the case in hand, it is undoubted that
the duty drawback has accrued to the assessee in the
assessment year as it is following the mercantile system
of accounting and therefore has to be accounted for in
the assessment year itself and not on cash basis. This is
not permissible, as per law. The assessee has taken the
stand that it has consistently been following this
practice. Even assuming for a moment that earlier this
practice had indeed been accepted by the Department
(even though any evidence of earlier years were not
submitted), it is not necessary that in subsequent years
also the blatant mistake should be allowed to be
perpetuated. This mistake should be rectified as early
as possible, as held in CIT vs. Foss Electronic 263 Itr
125 (Raj.).
