Chairman’s Communication<br />

The month <strong>of</strong> September will began with<br />

celebration <strong>of</strong> Teacher’s day on 5th <strong>of</strong> this month.<br />

In India Teachers day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli<br />

Radhakrishnan, who was a strong believer <strong>of</strong><br />

education and was one <strong>of</strong> the greatest scholar and<br />

teacher <strong>of</strong> all times, apart from being the President<br />

<strong>of</strong> India. As a tribute to this great teacher, his<br />

birthday is observed as Teachers Day in India.<br />

The role <strong>of</strong> a teacher in a society is both noteworthy and valuable. If you give<br />

a man a bread, you feed him for a day, but if you teach a man how to make a<br />

bread, you feed him for the Lifetime. - that’s the role which a teacher plays ,<br />

so, at this occasion, we must be thankful to all our teachers and guides for<br />

their constructive support to us.<br />

Now, coming to the activities for this month we have a Series - II <strong>of</strong><br />

Revisionary Classes for IPCC and Final as well. The revisionary sessions<br />

this time is an exhaustive program, which will be carried out throughout the<br />

month. The sessions will be taken up by eminent faculties in their relevant<br />

subjects. And I hope the students will try to take maximum benefit from<br />

these sessions.<br />

Besides this, we will continue to have regular activities including study<br />

circle, lecture meets and industrial visits.<br />

Wishing you all the best<br />

How to track your Income tax Refund online<br />

Contributed By: Mr. Ankit Daluka (CA Final Student)<br />

The Income Tax Department entertains queries for all assessees<br />

regarding the refunding <strong>of</strong> income tax through the Tax Information<br />

Network (TIN). The SBI has been appointed as the refund banker,<br />

which processes refunds and routes them to the assessees’ bank<br />

accounts. If the assessee does not choose direct credit, a cheque is<br />

sent. This facility also helps track the status <strong>of</strong> the parcel that has been<br />

despatched by speed post. All refunds are handled by the Central<br />

Processing Centre (CPC) at Bangalore.<br />

Processing<br />

If the processing <strong>of</strong> the refund has not been completed by your<br />

assessing <strong>of</strong>ficer, or if there is no refund payable to you for that year,<br />

you will get a message saying so.<br />

Refund details<br />

If there is a refund, you will get details showing your refund reference<br />

number, the date <strong>of</strong> credit to your bank account or the date <strong>of</strong><br />

despatch <strong>of</strong> the cheque by speed post, and the speed post reference<br />

number, if applicable<br />

E-mail<br />

You can submit your reference number and e-mail ID on the speed<br />

post tracker screen. You will receive an e-mail when your parcel has<br />

been received.<br />

<strong>Baroda</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> <strong>of</strong> WICASA <strong>of</strong> The Institute <strong>of</strong> Chartered Accountants <strong>of</strong> India<br />

Points to note<br />

Status check: You can check if your refund has been sent to the SBI,<br />

the refund banker, by logging into your e-filing account.<br />

Payment mode: Refunds are being sent in following two modes:<br />

RTGS / NECS: To enable credit <strong>of</strong> refund directly to the bank account,<br />

Taxpayer’s Bank A/c (at least 10 digits), MICR code <strong>of</strong> bank branch<br />

and correct communication address is mandatory.<br />

Paper Cheque: Bank Account No, Correct address is mandatory.<br />

Error notification: If there is an error in the refund or in case <strong>of</strong> any<br />

other query, the assessee can write to CPC Bangalore, quoting the<br />

refund reference number.<br />

Only e-payments by Public Sector Banks<br />

Contributed By: Ms. Pooja Agrawal (CA Final Student)<br />

Move aimed at speeding up process, checking corruption in funds’<br />

transfer.<br />

The Union finance ministry has told all state-owned banks and<br />

financial institutions to make payments only electronically from next<br />

month.<br />

The move is aimed at checking corruption in transfer <strong>of</strong> funds through<br />

cheques and making the entire process transparent and faster. In a<br />

circular to all 35 state-run banks and financial institutions, the<br />

ministry said they must not make any payment through cheques from<br />

September 1.<br />

The ministry is in touch with insurance companies as well, to extend<br />

the scope <strong>of</strong> e-payment to all their payees.<br />

As part <strong>of</strong> its e-governance initiative, the ministry says it has asked<br />

these bodies to go for paperless fund transfer so that irregularities in<br />

payments through cheques to various parties, such as employees,<br />

vendors, customers and social sector schemes can be checked.<br />

“Disbursal <strong>of</strong> funds through cheques <strong>of</strong>ten gives rise to corruption<br />

and the payment to the beneficiary is delayed. There have been<br />

instances where a cheque is not issued on time or the payment has<br />

not reached the beneficiary. E-payment will address all those issues,”<br />

said a ministry <strong>of</strong>ficial.<br />

However, for people who do not have a bank account, banks will still<br />

be required to make payments through modes other than electronic.<br />

Some bank executives expressed apprehension. They said most<br />

banks were already using e-payment wherever possible, but in a few<br />

cases it was not possible to do so.<br />

Both ministry <strong>of</strong>ficials and bank executives agreed mandatory<br />

electronic transfers would minimise corrupt practices, as money<br />

would be passed without any human intervention. There will be no<br />

middlemen and no pilferage in the process <strong>of</strong> sending the money to<br />

the actual beneficiary. Discontinuation <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> cheques would be<br />

economical as well for banks, since it would reduce paper cost.<br />

“E-payment will be good for both the beneficiary and the remitter. It<br />

will ensure smooth and speedier flow <strong>of</strong> money. At Punjab National<br />

Bank, we are already using this for all kinds <strong>of</strong> payments,” said the<br />

bank’s chairman and managing director, K R Kamath.<br />

Punjab & Sind Bank executive director P K Anand said the use <strong>of</strong><br />

technology in disbursal <strong>of</strong> payments would bring better transparency<br />

and efficiency into the system.<br />

separated or joined words. Such as Ram Nath Enterprises Pvt.<br />

Ltd. will be considered as similar to Ramnath Enterprises Pvt.<br />

Ltd.;<br />

(vi) The use <strong>of</strong> a different tense or number <strong>of</strong> the same word, as this<br />

does not distinguish one name from another. Such as, Excellent<br />

Industries will be similar to Excellence Industries and similarly<br />

Teen Murti Exports Pvt. Ltd. will be to Three Murti Exports Pvt.<br />

Ltd.;<br />

(vii) Using different phonetic spellings or spelling variations, as this<br />

does not distinguish one name from another. For example, J.K.<br />

Industries limited is existing then J and K Industries or Jay Kay<br />

Industries or J n K Industries or J & K Industries will not be<br />

allowed. Similarly if a name contains numeric character like 3,<br />

resemblance shall be checked with ‘Three’ also;<br />

(viii) The addition <strong>of</strong> an internet related designation, such as .COM,<br />

.NET, .EDU, .GOV, .ORG, .IN, as this does not make a name<br />

distinguishable from another, even where (.) is written as ‘dot’;<br />

Company, Nav Bharat Electronic etc. Similarly, if it is different<br />

from the name <strong>of</strong> the existing company only to the extent <strong>of</strong><br />

adding the name <strong>of</strong> the place, the same shall not be allowed. For<br />

example, ‘Unique Marbles Delhi Limited’ can not be allowed if<br />

‘Unique Marbles Limited’ is already existing; Such names may<br />

be allowed only if no objection from the existing company by<br />

way <strong>of</strong> Board resolution is produced/ submitted;<br />

(x) Different combination <strong>of</strong> the same words, as this does not make<br />

a name distinguishable from an existing name, e.g., if there is a<br />

company in existence by the name <strong>of</strong> “Builders and Contractors<br />

Limited”, the name “Contractors and Builders Limited” should<br />

not be allowed;<br />

(xi) Exact Hindi translation <strong>of</strong> the name <strong>of</strong> an existing company in<br />

English especially an existing company with a reputation. For<br />

example, Hindustan Steel Industries Ltd. will not be allowed if<br />

indicative <strong>of</strong> such related financial activities, viz., Chit Fund/<br />

Investment/ Loan, etc.;<br />

(iii) If it includes the words indicative <strong>of</strong> a separate type <strong>of</strong> business<br />

constitution or legal person or any connotation there<strong>of</strong>, the<br />

name (for Delhi Cloth Mills limited to DCM Limited, Hindustan<br />

Machine Tools limited to HMT limited) after following the<br />

requirement <strong>of</strong> Section 21 <strong>of</strong> the Companies Act, 1956. Further,<br />

if the name is only a general one like Cotton Textile Mills Ltd., or<br />

Silk Manufacturing Ltd., and not specific like Calcutta Cotton<br />

Textiles Mills Limited or Lakshmi Silk Manufacturing Company<br />

Limited, the same shall not be allowed;<br />

competent authority;<br />

continent, country, state, city such as Asia limited, Germany<br />

Limited, Haryana Limited, Mysore Limited, the same shall not<br />

be allowed;<br />

(viii) If the proposed name contains any word or expression which is<br />

likely to give the impression that the company is in any way<br />

connected with, or having the patronage <strong>of</strong>, the Central<br />

Government, any State Government, or any local authority,<br />

corporation or body constituted by the Central or any State<br />

Government under any law for the time in force, unless the<br />

a) Despite bar in Proviso to s. 14A, s. 147 reopening for earlier years valid<br />

For AY 2000-01, the assessee filed a return on 30.11.2000. As s. 14A was<br />

inserted subsequently by FA 2001 (w.r.e.f 1.4.62) and was tabled in<br />

Parliament on 28.2.2001, the assessee did not make any disallowance u/s<br />

14A. The AO also did not make a disallowance in the s. 143 (3) order passed<br />

on 7.3.2003. After the expiry <strong>of</strong> 4 years, the AO sought to reopen the<br />

assessment to make a disallowance u/s 14A. The assessee challenged the<br />

reopening on the ground that (i) under the Proviso to s. 14A, a reopening u/s<br />

147 for AY 2001-02 & earlier years was not permissible, (ii) as s. 14A was<br />

not on the statute when the ROI was filed, there was no failure to disclose &<br />

(iii) as the AO had also sought to rectify u/s 154, he could not reopen u/s 147.<br />

The High Court dismissed the Writ Petition inter alia on the ground that “the<br />

Proviso to s. 14A bars reassessment but not original assessment on the<br />

basis <strong>of</strong> the retrospective amendment. Though the ROI was filed before s.<br />

14A was enacted, the assessment order was passed subsequently. The AO<br />

ought to have applied s. 14A and his failure has resulted in escapement <strong>of</strong><br />

income. The object and purpose <strong>of</strong> the Proviso is to ensure that the<br />

retrospective amendment is not made as a tool to reopen past cases which<br />

have attained finality“. On appeal by the assessee to the Supreme Court,<br />

HELD dismissing the SLP:<br />

In our view, the re-opening <strong>of</strong> assessment is fully justified on the facts and<br />

circumstances <strong>of</strong> the case.<br />

Honda Siel Power Products Ltd vs. DCIT (Supreme Court)<br />

b) If AO has allowed s. 10A deduction, DRP cannot withdraw it<br />

The assessee claimed deduction <strong>of</strong> Rs. 32.18 crores u/s 10A. The AO<br />

passed a draft assessment order u/s 144C in which he allowed s. 10A<br />

deduction though he reduced the quantum by Rs. 44.49 lakhs. When the<br />

assessee filed objections before the Dispute Resolution Panel (“DRP”), it<br />

took the view that the assessee was not at all entitled to s. 10A deduction as it<br />

was engaged in “research & development”. On the alternative plea that the<br />

assessee was engaged in providing “engineering design services”, the DRP<br />

directed the AO to examine the claim on merits. The assessee filed a Writ<br />

Petition claiming that the directions given by the DRP was beyond<br />

jurisdiction. This was dismissed by the single judge. On appeal by the<br />

assessee, HELD allowing the appeal:<br />

(i) As the AO had accepted that the assessee was eligible for s. 10A<br />

deduction and had only proposed a variation on the quantum, the DRP<br />

had no jurisdiction to hold that the assessee was not at all eligible for s.<br />

10A deduction;<br />

(ii) The DRP’s direction that the AO should decide the alternate claim <strong>of</strong> the<br />

assessee having regard to the material is also without jurisdiction. If<br />

such orders and directions are permitted to be allowed, it would defeat<br />

the object <strong>of</strong> the alternate dispute resolution.<br />
