of tax at source, where it is required to deducted or where after deduction the
deducted amount is not deposited with the Government. It does not admit of
any discretion even where such omission or such shortfall in deduction or
deposit arises for bona fide reasons. It was so held in Kanoi Industries P. Ltd.

The Asst. Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Shri Hiromi Hirose, Japan Broadcasting ... on 31 August, 2006
Section 201 (1)/201(1 A) falls under chapter XVII of IT Act 1961. The
limitation period for recovery was incorporated in section 231 of IT Act 1961
which was omitted by Finance Act 1987 with effect from 01-04-1989. In other
words there is no limitation period for taking action u/s. 201/201(1A). In fact
there is no limitation for taking action under section 201/201(1A) but certain
judicial decisions are in favour of laying down time limit for initiating action
u/s. 201/201(1A) and most of them have fixed time limit of four years viz. CIT
Vs. NHK Corporation 305 ITR 137 Delhi, Mangalore Refinery and
Petrochemical Ltd. Vs. Deputy Director of Income Tax 311 ITR (AT) 91
(Mumbai), Raymond Woolen Mills Ltd. Vs. ITO (1996) 57 lTD 536 (Bom) etc.
The decision taken by Hon'ble ITAT and Hon'ble High Court is in favour of
passing the order within four years as notime0 limit has been prescribed in the
statute
On careful reading of the above decisions, it is a clear that none.of the
decisions has taken into account the quantum of escapement of income or tax.
The same parameter cannot be laid down for escapement of tax of Rs.10000/-
and Rs.10,00,000/-. The Income Tax Act has distinguished the time limit for
initiating action with reference to quantum of income escaped. Sec. 148/149
prescribed the time limit of four years where income has escaped assessment
amounting to Rupees less them 100000/-, where as the time limit will be six
5
years where escapement of income is Rs. 1,00,000/- or more. In the present
case the tax and interest u/s. 201/201(1A) is Rs. 21,64,472/-. The time limit for
initiating action for this amount of tax should be maximum period available in
statue. Income Tax Act permits reopening of assessment for 6 years. In present
case the order is passed with in 5 years. In my view this is reasonable.
