Share Application Money & Tax: ITAT Mumbai Ruling

Quick Summary

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Mumbai has ruled that the provisions of Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act, concerning the treatment of share application money and share premium, were not applicable to the assessment year 2012-13. The tribunal found that the Assessing Officer (AO) had no power to question the premium charged by the assessee on share issuance, as the relevant section only came into effect from Assessment Year 2013-14 onwards. Consequently, the appeal by the revenue was dismissed.
