Agrl.lands are never assets under the W.T. Act  and they were excluded from the assets under the old provisions of sec.2(ea). Now from F.A. 1992 sec.2(ea) defines assets ,which are taxable assets , and known as specified assets. The urban land  in the jurisdiction of a municipality or any other town areas with a population exceeding 10000 as per previous Census and the land in the pheripheral limits of such municipality is  a speicified asset. The proviso to the said sec. provides that the land on which construction is not permitted under any law; land for industrial purposes not exceeding 2 years as vacant land and land held as stock in trade for a period not exceeding 10 years are excluded. Thus agrl.lands are not intended to be included as  theyare  productive assets and  never they were treated as assets under the Wealth tax Act. The assessing officer is of the view that "any land" incldes agrl.lands too. Please give your opinion and any supporting case laws or such material.

In the case of  a firm  that carried on construction activity and upon completion ,it has retained some of  the property ,which is let out ,on a sizable rent . Whether remuneration and interest to partners is available against the property income?

Whether a firm without any previous business activity purchases a property and earns rental income,deduction u/s.40(b) is allowable? Would the schedular system of taxation entitle the firm to the above  claim

Please give your response.

the non-payment of TDS by an assessee entails disallowance of the expenditure.In a case , where the receipient already paid tax and filed its return, the  TDS liability is abated u/s.191 Whether the disallowance u/s.40(ia)is still applicable because  during the relevant previous year there existed liability to make TDS.That once the payee paid the tax and there is no need for making TDS as per the sec.191,it must satisfy the requirement of sec.40(ia).In other words , there is no separte liabiity to make TDS  u/s.40(ia).This provision needs elaboration and the opinion of my learned brethern and  any judgments sofar may please be posted at the earliest.
thank you

Sec.40a(ia) doesnot disallow the corresponding expenditure but provides that if the TDS is paid in the subsequent years,exp.would be allowed in that subsequent year.Therefore,it implies that where the payee didnot pay tax and the liability to make TDS remians on the payer,it must be paid though in a subsequent year in order to get deduction.Otherwise,making TDS  where payee already paid directly would  amount to paying tax twice and it is not intended.It looks unconvincing that even if payee had  already paid tax, the payer in order to get deduction must make another payment of TDS in favour of the payee.This needs to be kept in view in evaluating the issue.

 the rule 6DD(k) postulates that cash payment made by a princiapl to his agent ,who is required to pay  cash for goods and services on behalf of the principal,shall be an exception to the mandatory application of sec.40A(3) of the I.T.Act.
Whether any payment made by agent in cash  and claimed by him that he is required to do so would bring it within the above said rule?or Whether the payments enlisted under the subrule ( a)  to (l) made by an agent on behalf of the principal are only covered?

I personally feel any payment if made by an agent to  meet cash payments must fall under exception. Views of my esteemed colleagues are welcome.
