ORDER

PER BENCH

ITA No. 3492/del/2016 is filed by Revenue whereas ITA No.3152/del/2016 and C.O. No. 275/del/2016 are filed by the assessee and all these matters emanate from the order dated 16/3/2016 passed by learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-42, New Delhi (“Ld. CIT(A)”) in appeal No. 77/15-16/CIT (A)-42 in the case of BBC World Service India Private Limited (“the assessee”), for the assessment year 2009-10.

2. Brief facts of the case, relevant for the disposal of these appeals and cross objections, are that the assessee is a company primarily engaged in the business of producing program content for radio and website (on shortwave and FM frequencies) under contractual agreements with parent and other group  of companies; and that the main source of Revenue of the company is derived from its parent and other group companies and also from direct sale of programs, originally created for its parent and other group companies.

3. For the assessment year 2009-10, the assessee filed the return of income on 30/9/2009 declaring an income of Rs. 48,53,220/-, but subsequently on 31/3/2011 revised the same at an income of Rs. 72,92,419/-. Assessment under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short “the Act”), was however, completed at Rs. 4,71,10, 092/- by making addition of Rs. 3, 98, 17, 673/-. Since the assessee got relief in appeal before the Ld. CIT(A), Revenue preferred this appeal, namely, ITA 3492/del/2016.
