Dear All,

I have query on ESOP.

If Mr x who has granted ESOP option from ABC Ltd. in FY 2010-11
But before excercising the same, he dies in Fy 2011-12 and now legal heir of Mr X is exercising the option in FY 2012-13 & purchase shares at discounted price.

Now Issue is about taxability of ESOP option.

Whether Taxable to Legal heir??

Capital gain on sale in future is any way taxable to them whenever they sold the same shares.

So whether it is taxable  as ESOP as it is taxable when option is exercised as per CBDT's guideline but at that time there is no Employer -Employee relationship existing so not chargeble as per charging section 15.

Require your opinion as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

My client ABC Co. has entered into contract with Mr X for letting out half floor for running Canteen business.

Mr X providing Canteen facility and providing Tea & Snacks to Employee for which payments made by ABC Co on behalf of Employee.

Now question is that Should ABC liable to deduct TDS on Canteen Service provided by Mr X?

Whether It is service or Sale ?

Provided that there is no agreement between ABC Co. and Mr X for providing Services.

Dear Members,

I have a query:

1)If assesee has 5 business and 2 shows 25% profit while other business showing net loss.
Then assessee has to file return on the base of 8% NP of total of 5 business sales? or
  Presumptive taxation of  8% NP of each business?

hi Vyakul,
According to me unabsorbede depre can be setoff against salary.
I am also in same view as you are looking for.

Apparently, there is another software - WINMAN, which allows the unabsorbed depreciation to be set off against salary & set off has been accepted by department as well.

Clarification of section 32(2)

The words no profits or gains chargeable for that year in section 32(2) of the Income-tax
Act, 1961, are not confined to profits and gains derived from business. They refer to the totality
of the profits or gains computed under the various heads and chargeable to tax. It is, therefore,
clear that effect must be given to depreciation allowance first against the profits and gains of
the particular business whose income is being computed under section 28 and if the profits of
that business are not sufficient to absorb the depreciation allowance, the allowance to the
extent to which it is not absorbed would be set off against the profits of any other business and
if a part of the depreciation allowance still remains unabsorbed, it would be liable to be set off
against the profits and gains chargeable under any other head and it is only if some part of
the depreciation allowance still remains that it can be carried forward to the next assessment
year. But where any part of the depreciation allowance remains unabsorbed after being set off
against the total income chargeable to tax, it can be carried forward to the following year and
set off against the year's income and so on for succeeding years. The method adopted by the
statute for achieving this result is that the carried forward depreciation allowance is deemed to
be part of and stands on exactly the same footing as the current depreciation for the assessment
year.



There is wrong belief that unabsorbed depreciation cannot be set off against salary. But, this comment is to explain my view that it can be set off against salary. Business Loss cannot be set off against salary income (As per Section 71(2A)). However, unabsorbed depreciation is covered under section 32(2).



My conclusion is:
•   Unabsorbed depreciation is covered under an independent section 32(2).
•    The section gives a link to Section 72(2) and 73(3). It does not give a link to section 71(2A)(where it is said that business loss cannot be set off under salaries).
•    Hence, it can be inferred that the statute does not intend to restrict the set off of unabsorbed depreciation against salaries had there been an intention to do so, it would have specified the same in 32(2)(As in case of 72(2A).
