PAPER – 4 : TAXATION 15

(ii) Savita is a B.com graduate and working in the ABC Private Limited as an accountant
with a monthly salary of ` 25,000. Raman holds 30% equity shares of the ABC Private
Limited.
(iii) Raman started proprietary business on 01-04-2000 with a capital of ` 10,00,000. He
incurred a loss of ` 2,00,000 during the previous year 2020-21. To overcome the
financial position, Savita gifted a sum of ` 4,00,000 to him on 01-04-2021 which was
immediately invested in the business by Mr. Raman. He earned a profit of ` 3,00,000
during the previous year 2021-22
(iv) Sajan, younger son of Raman, aged 17 years won in a debate competition during the
annual competitions held at his school and received a cash award of ` 10,000 and
he also earned interest of ` 7,000 on balance maintained in his savings bank account.
(4 Marks)
Answer
(a) (i) Interest on enhanced compensation received on 31.03.22 from Government of Tamil
Nadu (including 40% of interest on enhanced compensation relating to P.Y. 2020 -21)
would be deemed to be the income of P.Y. 2021-22, being the year in which it is
received irrespective of the method of accounting followed by the assessee.
Interest of ` 3,00,000 on enhanced compensation is chargeable to tax during the P.Y.
2021-22 after providing deduction of 50% under section 57. Therefore, ` 1,50,000 is
chargeable to tax under the head “Income from other sources”.
(ii) In the hands of Mr. Narayanan
Since the consideration of ` 2,00,000 is less than ` 3,00,000, being the fair market
value of unquoted shares of BS Ltd., the fair market value of shares i.e., ` 3,00,000
would be deemed to be the full value of consideration.
Accordingly, ` 25,000 [` 3,00,000 – ` 2,75,000, being indexed cost of acquisition]
would be liable to tax as long term capital gains in the hands of Mr. Narayanan.
In the hands of AB Pvt. Ltd.
Shares received by AB Pvt. Ltd. from Mr. Narayanan for inadequate consideration is
chargeable to tax, since the difference exceeds ` 50,000. Accordingly, ` 1,00,000,
being the difference between aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares i.e.,
` 3,00,000 and consideration i.e., ` 2,00,000 would be chargeable to tax under the
head “Income from other sources”.
(iii) The sum of ` 5,00,000 received from Sree Pushpaka Charitable Trust, without
consideration, for meeting medical expenses would not be chargeable to tax in the
hands of Mr. A, since the same is received from a trust registered under section 12AB.

(b) (I) A registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not
exceed ` 1.5 crore in a State/UT may opt for composition scheme subject to fulfilment
of specified conditions.
One of these conditions is that he must not be engaged in the manufacture of notified
goods including fly ash bricks.
Therefore, in the given case, since Raju is engaged in manufacture of fly ash bricks,
he cannot opt for composition levy even though his aggregate turnover in the
preceding financial year is nil.
Thus, the advice given by his tax consultant is not correct.
(II) Services by a business facilitator to a banking company with respect to accounts in
its rural area branch is exempt from GST.
Since in the given case, Dharun is engaged exclusively in providing the exempt
services, it is not liable to obtain registration even though his aggregate turnover
exceeds ` 20 lakh.
Thus, the advice given by his tax consultant is not correct.
