25 May 2009 Similar views,expressed by the above experts,are observed in the following decisions.
1) BDA Ltd Vs.ITO 281 ITR 99 (Bom).Decision is, printing of labels as per assessee's specification is transaction of a sale rather than contract and tax deduction is not required.
2) CIT Vs. Dabur India Ltd.283 ITR 197 (Delhi).Here the court said, printing of labels on corrugated board boxes did not require any special skill .The main object underlying was one for sale of goods which took the contract out of the purview of income tax deduction.
