The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Delhi Bench ‘A’ examined the appeal ITA No. 1924/Del/2020 for the assessment year 2015-16, where DCIT, Central Circle-31, New Delhi, contested the CIT(A)’s decision regarding the classification of TUFS subsidies received by BSL Limited, Bhilwara as capital receipts.
The core of the dispute revolves around the substantial amount of Rs.3,18,78,827, which was claimed as interest subsidy under the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) by BSL Limited and initially assessed as a capital receipt, a decision challenged by the Revenue.
The ITAT referred to previous decisions and emphasized the need to understand the purpose and application of the subsidy under TUFS. The discussion highlighted how the subsidy’s intent to aid technological upgrades in the textile sector categorizes it as a capital receipt, supporting BSL Limited’s position.
This decision confirms the tribunal’s stance on treating such subsidies as capital receipts, reinforcing the policy’s goal to enhance industry competitiveness through technological advancement. The analysis considers both the historical context and the specifics of the TUFS, providing a detailed examination of its impact on tax obligations and financial strategy within the textile industry.
