Sec. 115JB of the Income Tax Act, 1961- MAT - The ground raised by the assessee was to delete the impugned additions on the ground that the receipts have been subjected to the tax in the subsequent year whatever the assessee had received from TANGEDCO. The Tribunal did not agree with the assessee and sustained the addition, if such is the factual position, the natural consequences that is to flow is to issue a direction to the AO to take appropriate action in so far as the assessments from the year 2010-2011 to 2014-2015, during which the assessee has been taxed on the said receipts. If such a consequential direction is not issued, then, the assessee would be subjected to double taxation which is unauthorised in Law. Thus, this issue can clearly be brought within the scope of Sub-Section (4) of 260 A and the Court would be justified in issuing appropriate direction to the assessing officer to reopen the assessments from the year 2010-2011 to 2014 -2015 on this issue alone and examine whether the assessee has paid taxes on these receipts, which addition have been sustained in the impugned assessment year 2009-2010 and after affording an opportunity to the assessee redo the assessment only on this aspect. - PPN POWER GENERATING COMPANY (P.)
