III. Useful Case Laws:
1. CIT Vs. Convertech Equipments Pvt. Ltd., ITA No. 669/2012 & 670/2012, C.M. APPL. 20042/2012, Date of Decision: 03-12-2012, High Court of Delhi
Whether commission paid to directors were allowable expenditure as per Section 36(1)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961?”
It was noticed that while commission was paid as a form of remuneration for actual services rendered, dividend is a return of investment and is paid to all its shareholders equally. It was thus held that if the commission is paid for actual services rendered, section 36(1)(ii) will not apply. This decision was followed by this Court in CIT v. Career Launcher India Ltd. (2012) 250 CTR 240 (Del). These decisions apply to the present case. The substantial question of law in ITA No.669/2012 is answered in favour of the assessee.

In both the cases, therefore, the assessee was not entitled to depreciation.
