Bot Summary: | The Revenue has raised the following ground in this appeal: On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the AAC has erred in deleting the addition of Rs. 40,000 correctly made by the ITO as deemed dividend receive by the assessee from Punjab National Bank. 1974-75, the assessee had surrendered 1000 shares of Punjab National Bank for a total consideration of Rs. 40,000. The said shares had been bought for a sum of Rs. 20,750 and on this basis a short term capital gain of Rs. 7,358 had been admitted before the ITO. In the course of assessment proceeding, the ITO indicated to the assessee that the entire amount of Rs. 40,000 would be assessable as deemed dividend income under the provisions of s. 2(d) of the IT Act, 1961. 30th Sept., 1976 that it should have no objection to the assessment of the amount as deemed dividend but on the condition that Rs. 6,900 be allowed as tax deduction at source. Departmental Representative submits that the sum of Rs. 40,000 was assessable under the provisions of s. 2(22)(d) as deemed dividend and that the AAC had no justification in upsetting that finding. After considering the rival submissions and the decision of the ITAT No. 1695 and after looking into the provisions of s. 2(d), it does appear to us that the sum of Rs. 40,000 was not assessable as deemed dividend income of the assessee respondent in the asst. The ITO will be justified to assess the assessee in respect of short-term capital gains but there was no justification on his part to have subjected as sum of Rs. 40,000 as deemed dividend income. |
