Commisioner Of Income Tax vs M/S. Oswal Agro Mills Ltd. on 24 December, 2010
12. Learned DR fairly conceded that issue is covered in favour of the assessee by the order of the
Tribunal in assessee's own case. We also found that assessee was engaged in the business of
manufacturing and trading. However, the manufacturing processes were discontinued with effect
from 25 January 2002. During the year under consideration, the assessee had claimed
depreciation on plant and machinery, building, furniture and fixtures and office equipment. Once
the concept of block of assets was brought into effect from AY 1989-90 onwards, then
depreciation is allowable on the aggregate of WDV of all the assets in the block at beginning of
the Financial year alongwith the additions made to the assets in the subject AY. The individual
asset losses its identity for depreciation. From the record, we also found that in AY 2007-08, the
Hon'ble CIT(A) has allowed the assessee's ground by placing reliance on the decisions in case of
CIT v Oswal Agro Mills (197 Taxman 25) (HC), Swati Synthetics Ltd v ITA (38 SOT 208)
(Mumbai ITAT) and Allied Photographics (8 SOT 318) (Mumbai ITAT). The Department has
filed an appeal before the Hon'ble ITAT for AY 2007-08. However, the aforementioned issue was
not taken in appeal by the Department before ITAT. We also found that Department accepted

Radha Swami Satsang vs Income-Tax Officer on 26 April, 1982
In view of the above, he pointed out that in the above decision for A.Y. 2009-10 in the case
of Liva Healthcare, there was a specific finding of a fact that no details have been filed
with respect to any seminar has been conducted for doctors and that the trips were directed
towards leisure and entertainment of doctors and their spouses. This was a distinguishable
feature for the Hon'ble Tribunal to take a contrary view from A.Y. 2008-09.
The Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs M/S Kap Scan & Diagnostic Centre Pvt. Ltd on 3 December, 2010
2002', however, has not elaborated or dwell upon as to how this MCI regulation which is strictly
meant for medical practitioners and doctors can be made applicable to pharmaceutical companies.
There has to be some enabling provision or specific clause in the said regulation whereby the
pharmaceutical companies are barred from conducting seminars or conferences by sponsoring the
doctors. The entire conduct relates to doctors and medical practitioners and lists out the censures
and fines imposed upon them. What has not been provided in the MCI regulation cannot be
supplied either by the court or by the CBDT. There has to be express provision under the law
whereby pharmaceutical companies are prohibited to conduct conferences or seminar or give free
samples. In the Tribunal decision of Liva Healthcare, strong reference has been made to Hon'ble
Himachal Pradesh High Court (supra), that the said CBDT circular has been upheld. On this
aspect we have already discussed in detail herein above that, firstly, High Court itself carves out a
rider that assessee is free to demonstrate before the AO that this circular is not applicable on facts
of the case; and secondly, CBDT circular which creates new impairment and imposes disallowbi -
lity not envisaged in any of the Act or regulation cannot be reckoned to be retrospective.Another
strong reference has been made to the decision of Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in the
case of CIT vs. Kap Scan and Diagnostic Centre (P.) Ltd. [2012] 25 taxmann.com 92, wherein
commission was paid to the private doctors for referring the patients for diagnosis to the assessee
company. In background of these facts and issues involved, the Hon'ble High Court held that said
payment of commission is wrong and is opposed to be a public policy. It should be discouraged
as it is not a fair practice. The ratio of said decision cannot be applied on the facts of the present
case because there is no violation of any law or anything which is opposed to public policy.
Eskayef Now Known As Smithkline Beecham ... vs Commissioner Of Income Tax ... on 20 July, 2000
Similarly, there is reference to the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Eskayef
(Now Known as Smithkline Beecham) Pharmaceuticals (India) Limited v. CIT (2000) 111
Taxman 561(SC), which was given in context of Section 37(3A) of the Act. In the said case the
assessee had claimed expenditure on distribution of physician's samples u/s. 37. In the
background of such claim the Hon'ble Apex court held that, if the expenditure falls within the
bare minimum it will not be caught by subsection (3A) of section 37. On the contrary, the
Hon'ble Apex Court observed that physicians samples are necessary to ascertain the efficacy of
medicine and introduce it in the market for circulation and it is only by this method the purpose is
achieved. In such cases giving a physician samples for reasonable period is essential to the
business of manufacture and sale of medicine. It is only if a particular medicine has been
introduced by the market and its uses are established then giving of free samples could only be
the measure of sale/ promotion and development would thus be hit by subsection (3A). Said
decision no way prohibits the nature of expenditure which has been incurred in the case of the
assessee. Therefore, such a reference to a Hon'ble Apex Court decision is not germane to the
issue involved. Thus, in our opinion, the aforesaid decision of this Tribunal is clearly
distinguishable and cannot be held to be applicable and also we have already given our
independent finding as to allowability of expenses in the hands of the assessee as business
expenditure.
