07 November 2012 There are good many number of cases decided by Bombay (Mumbai) High Court. The oldest one is I think that of Telco... (now tata motors), Kirloskar Asiatic Ltd. The principle followed by the court was, exchange gain arising out of "capital expenditure (including advance thereof)" is of capital nature. Even there is one case law where, advance was sent for purchase of machinery, the same got cancelled and then some spare parts were imported out of the same advance. In that it was decided that exchange gain is revenue... (spare parts are revenue)
