The Tribunal has allowed and I had been paid with Rs.3 lakhs towards the loss of interest and cost Rs.10000/- Whether I had to pay the income tax for this amount as it is an award granted by the Tribunal after a case being filed before it? Kindly oblige. Advance thanks to the Experts in anticipation.
