Principal Sponsor

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

In the present days, due to stress and paucity of time, the problem of balancing life and work has assumed serious proportions for professionals. Across the globe competition, fast changing scenario and rising expectations have put us on the sharp edge of the blade. History stands witness to the fact that man has been struggling to adjust himself to ever changing environment. I know a very busy schedule is ahead for the professionals looking to the last dates for finalization of accounts as well as the tax returns. It is said that “knowledge recycles the mind and keeps everything fresh. Knowledge brings the mind back to purity.” This is a period when each should work with the power of knowledge and I would like to wish everyone all the success.

The hidden secret of survival and growth and the great beauty about life has been that, as long as we are alive, we have the ability to learn new skills and engage in new kinds of work, activities, jobs, duties and responsibilities. Things never stand still in this dynamic world. Those who do not keep abreast with changes in this fast moving world, suffer.

I recall a famous quote, ”Some people change when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.”

Thus one cannot do today with the tools and methods of yesterday and still be in business tomorrow, especially the professionals. So is for all of us. I am sure that our members will also be able to show a bright new face in the coming changing scenario. Let us keep ourselves open to face and live the forthcoming tax regime and new era of fiscal consolidation. In this direction the Regional Council keeps organizing CPE Programmes, to assist our esteemed members and dear students. We invite and welcome all the members to attend these programs and be enlightened by thought-provoking deliberations, interactive discussions and the valuable query sessions.

40th Regional Conference

Teamwork divides the tasks and multiplies the success. An individual commitment to a group effort makes a team work, a company work, a society work, an organisation or a CA firm work, and above all, EIRC also work. It was good to see unity, enthusiasm, responsibilities amongst the team Members closely associated with the tasks allocated for the Regional Conference. I must appreciate and thank all my colleagues in the Regional Council and the Central Council and delegates for their support. Also the cooperation from each of the arms i.e., Branches and Study Circles of the EIRC in making the 40th Regional Conference scheduled on 21st & 22nd August 2015 a grand success. In this regard, let me take this opportunity to boast that this very mega event is each one of all the Branches and Study

Circles of EIRC and they are the co-host of the same and together will ensure it marked in a red letter event in the history of EIRC. However let me record a special recognition towards the support extended by Guwahati Branch in conceptualising the theme of this Regional Conference.

Student Convention

I had the privilege of being present during the National Convention for CA Students organized by Board of Studies of ICAI hosted jointly by EICASA and EIRC on 11TH & 12TH July 2015 wherein the participants benefited with the quality deliberation on various topics of contemporary relevance for the CA Course as well as for self-development. It was very gratifying to see students presenting technical papers at this Conference with excellent content and with great confidence and enthusiasm! The Students

Association (EICASA) also witnessed its election of its new office bearers on 28th July 2015. I welcome all newly elect office bearers of EICASA and wish them a very promising and fruitful tenure.

Hard work and determination are the keys to success in any field and the best way to capture moments is to pay attention.

CALCUTTA HIGH COURT in the case of CIT Central-II v Balarampur Chini Mills Ltd in ITA No. 176 of 2009 with ITA 678 of 2008 delivered on 02/07/2015.Principles of Res-judicata explained.Where the Department did not file any appeal against the order of the Tribunal in the preceding year deleting the penalty, the Hon’ble Court held that a view taken by the High Court stands on a different footing than the view taken by the Tribunal. The Tribunal is a statutory body. A judgement rendered by the Tribunal cannot attract the principles of res judicata whereas a judgement rendered by the High Court would certainly attract the principles of res judicata.

BOMBAY HIGH COURT in the case of Reliance Industries Ltd v CIT in ITA No. 1021 & 1022 of 2000 delivered on 20/07/2015.For levying penalty u/s 221 the requirement of a written order treating a person to be an assessee in default may not be necessary when it is admitted position between the parties that the assessee is in default .

It was held that Penalty u/s 221 for failure to pay TDS in time can be levied even if the assessee voluntarily pays the TDS. Financial hardship, diverse locations and lack of computerization are not good excuses. The fact that CIT(A) decided in favour of the assessee & deleted the penalty does not necessarily mean that two views are possible

KOLKATA ITAT in the case of Evergreen Pvt Ltd v ITO in ITA No. 1221/Kol/2012 pronounced on 27/07/2015.No disallowances or adjustments can be made u/s 143(1)(a).

It was held that “under the guise of effecting an adjustment under the first proviso to section 143(1)(a), the Assessing Officer could not decide debatable issues. Unless the inadmissibility of a deduction was evident and obvious (as in the case of section 154) from the return and its annexures, the Assessing Officer who wanted to disallow a deduction or a claim, was bound to follow the procedure under section 143(2) of giving a notice to the assessee; and that no substantial adjustments, which required examination of evidence or which would require a hearing, were contemplated under section 143(1)(a). The assessee was entitled to a notice under section 143(2) even though the result of the hearing and consequential disposal might lead to the same result. In other words, the fact that on ultimate analysis, the assessee might not be entitled for the deduction claimed from the total income did not mean that recourse could be had to disallowance under section 143(1)(a), dispensing with, hearing and denying opportunity to the assessee to challenge the disallowance”

1. Commissioner v. Pallipalayam Spinners Pvt. Ltd. - 2015 (318) E.L.T. A180 (Mad.)]- Cenvat credit — Plastic crates used to transfer intermediate product in factory to be held as accessories and eligible to credit as capital goods

Revenue felt that the plastic crates are not capital goods and are not liable for Cenvat credit, sought to recover the credit availed by the appellant. The Appellate Tribunal in its impugned order had held that plastic crates used in the factory of appellant to transfer the intermediate product from one stage of manufacture to another, would have to be held as accessories to the textile machinery employed for manufacture of final product and would be eligible for Cenvat credit as capital goods as per Rule 2(a) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.

2. 2015 (318) E.L.T. 275 (Tri. - Del.) - JCT LTD. Versus COMMISSIONER OF C. EX., JALLANDHAR - Exemption subject to non-availment of Cenvat credit on inputs - Subsequent reversal of Cenvat credit without utilization - Reversal of Cenvat credit amounts to non-taking of credit on inputs - Benefit of Exemption Notification No. 30/2004-C.E. not deniable.

The assessee would be eligible for benefit of exemption Notification No. 30/04-C.E. There is no dispute that the benefit of the exemption notification is subject to the condition that no duty credit that is taken but the assessee during November and December, 2005 had taken Cenvat credit of Rs. 6,622/- in respect of certain inputs and during January to March, 2006 had taken Cenvat credit of Rs. 2,753/- in respect of certain inputs. However, the assessee’s claim that this credit had not been utilised and had been reversed as soon as this irregularity was pointed out by the Department is not refuted by the Department. Since the credit taken was reversed without being utilized, in our view, the judgment of Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of Hello Minerals Water (P) Ltd. v. Union of India (supra) which is based on the Apex Court’s judgment in the case of Chandrapur Magnet Wires (P) Ltd. v. CC, Nagpur (supra) would be applicable to the facts of this case and the assessee have to be treated as not having taken the Cenvat credit and would be eligible for the exemption benefit. In view of this, the impugned order denying the benefit of exemption Notification No. 30/04-C.E. and confirming the duty demand on this basis against the assessee is not sustainable and the same is set aside.

3. Mcleod Russel (India) Ltd. Vs Union of India, 2015(39) S.T.R. (Calcutta) - when State providing special security force is sovereign function, no service tax is leviable.

In this case, the appellants were engaged in the business of tea owning tea plantations in the State of Assam. A consortium of tea planters entered into MOU with the state of Assam to protect their plantations. A force was created by the Assam Government namely Assam Tea Plantation Security

Force (ATPSF) comprising of policemen and home guards for protecting the planters and their property. The Assam government sought reimbursement of the salaries of the security personnel from the members of the consortium including appellants. The Revenue issued an SCN on the appellants contending that the above services would be covered under Security Service and more specifically a Support Service exigible to service tax in the hands of the service receiver. In appeal to the HC, it was held that ATPSF discharged sovereign function of State of maintaining peace and security in Assam. Appointments to this force, its management, control, finance, discipline etc were regulated by the Government of Assam. Therefore, it was neither ‘support service’ by Government u/s 65B(49) nor service of a private security guard or watchman for levying service tax.”

4. Gurpreet Galvanising Pvt. Ltd. Vs. CC, CE & ST, Hyderabad-IV, 2015-TIOL- 1383-CESTAT-BANG: Refund in respect of inward services is irrelevant for claiming refund on outward services.

In this case, the appellant was paying service tax on GTA services received on both inward and outward transportation of goods without claiming abatement of 75% and were availing 100% Cenvat credit on such payment. On objection of the audit party, they reversed the 75% of the credit availed by them and further filed refund claim for such reversed amount since they were liable to pay ST only on 25% of the total service cost. The Revenue rejected the claim contending that since the appellant failed to claim refund of excess service tax paid on inward transportation, they could not claim refund of service tax on outward transportation also. The Tribunal held that,act of assessee of not claiming refund in respect of inward transportation is irrelevant to determine the eligibility of refund of tax on outward transportation.
