1 - 10 of 17 (0.23 seconds)M/S Japan Airlines Co.Ltd vs Commr.Of Income Tax,New Delhi on 4 August, 2015
20. The upshot of the above observation is that in each case the
agreement in question has to be examined to ascertain if the payment is
predominantly for the use of space. In the present case, the Assessee is
permitted to operate an executive lounge. The question of being able to
operate the lounge without the actual use of the space simply does not
arise. The payment for the use of space is inseparable from the payment
of royalty for the right to operate the lounge. Therefore, even applying
the ratio of Japan Airlines Co. Limited v. CIT (supra) the only
conclusion that can be drawn is that the payment of the sum by the
Assessee to the AAI under the LA falls within the expanded definition
of 'rent' under Section 194-I of the Act. The certificate issued by the
AAI stating that the payment of licence fee for the space is different
from the payment of royalty will not make a difference to the legal
position as regards Section 194 I of the Act.

Asstt. Cit vs Niit Ltd. on 31 October, 2007
In CIT v. NIIT Limited (supra) the question that arose was whether
the Assessee was liable to deduct tax at source under Section 194-I of
the Act in respect of the payments made to the franchisee under the head
'Infrastructural claims'. It was held on fact that the relationship between
the parties was not of a lessor and lessee. The limited purpose was to run
an education centre offering NIIT courses as specified in the franchisee
agreement. Although the charges were broken up under two heads, viz.,
as marketing claim and infrastructure claim, there was no payment of
'rent' by the Assessee to the franchisee within the meaning of Section
194-I of the Act. This decision is , therefore, also not helpful to the
Assessee here.

In TRIL Infopark
Limited (supra) the payment of Rs. 1412 crores by the lessee to the
lessor was determined in the competitive bidding that took place even
before the joint venture partner in whose favour the lease was to be
granted was incorporated. The said amount was to be paid as a lumpsum

to the lessor who in turn was required to make it over to the
Government. It was in those circumstances that the Madras High Court
held that "once it is understood to be a consideration paid to the
Government, the question of deducting tax at source does not arise."
The said decision is, therefore, of no of assistance to the Assessee in the
present case.
