For Respondent: Mr. Dipak Som, Sr.Advocate with Md. Nizamuddin, Advocate
BEFORE:
The Hon'ble JUSTICE BHATTACHARYA
The Hon'ble JUSTICE DR. SAMBUDDHA CHAKRABARTI
Date: 11th March, 2011.
THE COURT: All these three appeals are taken up for hearing analogously as the points involved therein are almost similar in nature.
2
A Division Bench of this Court on the selfsame date, namely, 11th May, 2004 admitted all these three appeals and it appears that these three appeals were admitted on three formulated questions. The formulated question Nos. 2 and 3 are common in all these three appeals except the relevant assessment year and amount involved therein. We, therefore, quote the aforesaid Point Nos.2 and 3 in ITA 267 of 2004 which will virtually cover the issue involved in other two appeals, namely, ITA 268 of 2004 and ITA 269 of 2004.
"II. Whether the amendment made in section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 by the Finance Act, 2003 is clarificatory and thereby retrospective in nature in the light of the principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Allied Motors Private Limited. v. CIT (1997) 224 ITR 677 (SC)."
"III. If the answer to Question No.II above is in the affirmative, whether the disallowance of Rs.1.641 /Rs.1.978 Millions in the instant case in respect of the assessment year 1996-97 under section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was justified in law on merits, and whether it could be said to be covered by section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961".
However, Point No.1 formulated in ITA No.267 of 2004 is to the following effect:-
3
"I. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on a correct interpretation of section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, 'A' Bench, Kolkata misdirected itself in law in confirming the disallowance of Rs.16,41,868/Rs.19,78,037 in respect of the assessment year 1996-97 through the impugned proceedings under section 154 of the said Act, in so far as it held that there was a mistake apparent from record within the meaning of section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in the instant case and whether its such finding was wholly unreasonable and/or otherwise perverse".
Similarly, in ITA No.268 of 2004 and ITA No.269 of 2004, Point No.1 formulated by the Division Bench is respectively quoted below :-
"I. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on a correct interpretation of section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, 'A' Bench, Kolkata misdirected itself in law in confirming the disallowance of Rs.0.409 Million in respect of the assessment year 1997-98." "I. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and on a correct interpretation of section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, 'A' Bench, Kolkata misdirected itself in law in 4 confirming the disallowance of Rs.3.992 Millions in respect of the assessment year 1998-99"
After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after going through the materials on record, we find that the most vital question involved in these three appeals is whether the amendment made in section 43B of the Income-tax Act 1961 by the Finance Act, 2003 is clarificatory and thereby retrospective in nature. If the aforesaid question is answered in favour of the assessee, in that event, Point No.3 formulated in all these three appeals should be answered in favour of the assessee inasmuch as the Tribunal below disallowed the amount of deposit towards provident fund on the sole ground that those were delayed deposit in terms of Section 36(1)(va) read with Section 43B of the Act.
In our opinion, in view of the subsequent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Alom Extrusions Limited. reported in (2009) 318 ITR 306 (SC) whereby it has followed the earlier decision of that Court in the case of Allied Motors Private Limited vs. CIT (1997) 224 ITR 677(SC) to the effect that the said amendment is retrospective in nature, the assessee should get the benefit of the amended provision as the deposit made was 5 within the time prescribed in section 139(1) read with Section 43B of the Act and, therefore, the order of the Tribunal below disallowing the benefit of the amendment to the assessee cannot be supported.
We, therefore, answer the second question in the affirmative and the third question in the negative.
In view of the applicability of the aforesaid amended provision of Section 43B of the Act, the first question formulated in all these three appeals is answered in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee.
All these three appeals are, thus, disposed of in terms of our aforesaid decision by setting aside the order passed
by the Tribunal below.
In the facts and circumstances of the case, there will be no order as to costs.
Photostat certified copy of this order be made available to the parties upon compliance of usual formalities.

INDUSTRY SCENARIO
From April 2009 till November 2009 the poultry scenario all
over the country continued to be bleak.
(a) Fresh outbreaks of Bird Flu occurred in West Bengal,
Assam and Sikkim.
(b) Export of Poultry continued to be banned.
(c) Consumption of poultry products as well as prices
remained stagnant.
(d) Global Economic downturn had its effect on the industry.
From December 2009 the market started reviving. Consumer
confidence for poultry meat consumption resumed. Continued losses had a major
effect on production, resulting in decline in availability of chicken. Prices
started rising as demand surpassed availability.
The company took certain measures resulting in minimization of
its losses.
(a) The company was able to have strategic alliances with
Suguna, Japfa and other companies for utilization of idle capacities resulting
in an annual income of Rs.19.100 Millions.
(b) The company received interest subvention of Rs.69.700
Millions, a relief granted by the Government of India.
(c) The Food Mart Division of the company was able to obtain
Display Charges from major Companies, the Hindusthan Lever, Godrej to add to
the bottom line.
(d) KFC continued to support the company by way of increased
purchases and allotting new stores for supplies.
The company was able to end the year on a modest profit of
Rs.75.173 Millions.
The directors are of the opinion that the fear of bird flu
affecting chicken sales and prices will be a thing of the past with consumer
confidence returning back, and the industry should see robust growth and
attractive rates in the future years to come.
The need of the hour will be fast capacity utilization by
the company.
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
During the year, the Company earned a profit of Rs.75.100
Millions compared to previous year’s loss of Rs.180.300 Millions.
TURNOVER
The Company’s turnover during the year under review has been
Rs.1649.400 Millions compared to Rs.1362.900 Millions recorded in the previous
year.
PROJECTS
The ongoing plans for increase in Food-Marts have been kept
on hold. The directive expect improvement in the company overall financial
position in the next years and plans for next projects will be taken on
selective basis.
