The Mumbai Bench of the Income-tax
Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal) in the case of KDA
Enterprises Pvt Ltd.1
(the taxpayer) held that a gift
received by a company is a capital receipt and cannot be
charged to tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act)
since there is no specific provision for taxability of such
receipts in the statute.
The Tribunal observed that companies are competent to
make and receive gifts, and natural love and affection
are not a necessary requirement. Under the Act, only the
income of the taxpayer is subject to tax and not each
and every receipt of the taxpayer, where the other
receipts are not in the nature of income
