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 />

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 />

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 />

(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 />

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 />
