			1. The
			Commissioner Of Income Tax And Another versus M/S Gail (India)Ltd., 
			INCOME TAX APPEAL No. - 460 of 2009, Date of Order : 19.08.2013. 
 Whether penalty u/s 272B mandatorily to be imposed upon non quoting of PAN in TDS Certificates.
 
 
			 									
			 
			Held No.
 
			 									
			 
			A perusal
			of Section 139A(5A) shows that it puts an obligation on the person 
			receiving any sum or income or amount from which tax has been deducted 
			under the provisions of Chapter XVII( which include Section 194C and 
			194J) to intimate his permanent account number to the person responsible
			for deducting such tax under that Chapter. Section 139A(5B) makes it 
			obligatory for every person deducting tax under Chapter XVII-B to quote 
			the permanent account number of the person to whom such sum or income or
			amount has been paid by him. Thus, reading both the provisions 
			together, namely,Section 139A(5A) and Section 139A (5B) it appears to us
			that the deductor may be at fault under section 139A (5B) if he does 
			not quote the permanent account number of the persons to whom the amount
			has been paid, despite the intimation of permanent account number by 
			such person to the deductor under section 139A(5A) of the Act. In the 
			present matter there is nothing on record to show that the contractors 
			had intimated their permanent account number to the respondent assessee 
			as required under section 139A(5A) of the Act. Therefore under present 
			circumstances the respondent assessee successfully explained the 
			reasonable cause to satisfy the provisions of Section 273B of the Act.

 Whether depreciation admissible to transferee-co on imported cars "acquired" under M&A scheme effective after 1-4-2001

			Merger 
			& Acquisition can be modes of "acquisition" of imported cars for the
			purposes of clause (a) of proviso to section 32(1). Transferee-company 
			cannot be denied depreciation on imported motor cars acquired by it 
			under scheme of merger effective from a date after 1-4-2001 on the 
			ground that the imported motor cars were originally acquired by merged 
			entities after 28-2-1975 but before 1-4-2001.
