I wish to buy this publication “INTERPRETATION OF TAXING STATUTES – Frequently Asked Questions”
I am a subscriber of ITATonline.org.
Please provide a detailed procedure for purchasing this publication. Is it possible to place the order online and also to make payment via electronic mode?
I agree with Neem singh. yea the state can make the properties for the benefit of poor people from all its regular proceeds every month or week or fortnight ; so that all the women and female children and other male children be given right kind of credible benefits, that way Amma welfare schemes did work;
I don’t think JJ’s properties are needed to sashikala or foster son of JJ. Even ms sashikala and her nephew also go on their own should say they also support JJ’s Amma kind of welfare schemes could better strengthen AIADMK rule lest some other party people shd not take advantage of the void.
Nice to note. Good.
I have a question, whether modi govt rightly interprets ‘demonetization’ paradigm? I wonder when RBI Governor dr Urgit patel says,
‘ People think demonetization is right thought’, obviously it means he has not agreed. when so what do you interpret as itatmen?
see sashikala seems to be claiming JJ’s Poes garden property as is given to her, how JJ can give her without a written will, even if it were a written will, that will need to be probated by the executor of the will, without probate procedure under testamentary jurisdiction JJ’s property can be taken over by sashikala, as you all seem to be good in legal interpretation of statutes, i presume.
I think that shd be true, just because the interpretation of tax law is done by some 40 + advocates wrote for Adv S H Kapadia who became judge of bombay high court and then as cji of sc.
Obviously some says he was great in taxation laws.
Such people create properties from public money and after their death if there is no specific will in favour these type of properties should go to the State only.
