I have read the order of this case. I find that facts of the case has been carefully analyzed. And retirement benefit relating to service period is bifurcated.
I have searched for this type of order and facts but not find on google.
This is very useful decision for typical facts.
Great one your lordships.
Isn’t its a strange judgment. yes it is and well supported by apex court ratio on interpretation.
There seems no provision in the Act which lays down the process or procedure to determine character of government service.
Whether nature of service at the time of joining or at the retirement is the determinant?
Come may what, but this judgement seems more logical and thought provoking. . . and this will probable be confirmed in the higher higher courts.
This order dealt with a very peculiar facts and circumstances. On the determination by the assessing officer the assessee must of paid the taxes on the disallowance of excess claim. Can the assessee seek rectification under section 154 of the Act within four years from the date of this order.
And all said and done but the assessing officers do not follow the binding judicial precedents given by the jurisdictional tribunals.
Superb analysis and finding by the Hon’ble Tribunal.
This will also be applied across India in all electricity State PSUs.
Further applications to AIR India employee assessees to be checked.
The judgment of this Tribunal is though provoking and would help thousands of employee assessee across the country who retired or retiring from State Public Sector Companies who joined their service initially as the employee of State Electricity Board
Highly appreciated.
The counsel pleaded for assessee is wrongly mentioned in the above post. Please correct the name of the counsel.
Yes!!!!
At the outset, based on the above judgement, is there a definition of PSU? Next, if the holding of the Govt. is more than 50%, would it not be a Govt Company, hence the full allowance of exemption, in the absence of proper definition of PSU.
Can anyone share the order of state government recognizing MSEB as government body?
