The ITAT Order, if were to be cared and looked into, may be noted to have been passed as recently as in May 2014, being close to but anterior to the announcement of the Budget proposal to make amends to the extant law (sec. 54 and 54 F). Now, as made clear in the said proposal, the referred amendments, made by way of a "rationalization measure", are to become effective from April 1, 2015, assessment year 2015-16, and onwards. By necessary implication,therefore, for any assessment year 2014-15, or earlier, the extant law as before amendment must apply.
In this view of the matter, going by the very same "rational" thinking, the Revenue is expected, rather ought to be urged, to treat the related issue (s) for the preceding years as once for all settled in taxpayers' favour. In other words, in the interests of natural justice, more so to go by common sense, the Revenue should forthwith , conceding the correct legal position as aforesaid, come out with a directive or advice as the case may be, to the concerned authorities, to immediately dispose of all the cases across the country accordingly, wherever pending, by a simple order or judgment to fall in line with the extant law before the amendments.
For instance, in the itat case (Mum) under reference, no attempt should be made to take up / prolong the matter any further, but treat it as a CLOSED CHAPTER SO TO SAY ; that is, with no need for even any further hearing of both sides. Thereby, save , besides the hassle and hardship, further cost of litigation, in the larger public interest.
It is hoped the underlying purposeful message will, for obvious reasons, be reached to the IT Department, by one and all truly concerned, at the earliest.

Getting the best out of consultants
?????<Voice into the system
< Unless
consultants know, think and feel that they are being accepted
unconditionally, with positive orientation, appreciated for what they
bring and are well disposed to, consultants will tend to become guarded,
perhaps less open and most often prescriptive.
Clients
should not lull themselves into believing that consultants can offer
prescriptions. They must realise that the consultant only brings to the
relationship and engagement eclectic wisdom gained over several contacts
that he has made and the ability to look at the situation
dispassionately. Clients should not employ consultants to ‘voice into
the system’ their anxieties nor use consultants to mouth their
directives.
Consultants must have the latitude and
freedom, much like a coach to be able to say it as it is and it is for
the client to glean meaning and essence.
When clients
hire a consultant with faith and belief in their competence and trust
that the consultant means well and is sincere, the ensuing collaboration
will be rich and fruitful.
Anything short of an
unconditional, positive, appreciative and acknowledging engagement of
the consultant will not achieve what the relationship was set out to do.
The writer is an organizational and behavioral consultant.>
IMPROMPTU
At the first blush, the points intended to be driven home
are mostly confusing ; some prima facie unacceptable, instantly offending own
intelligence whatever be its standard / level. Must be so especially to anyone, himself being a
consultant is / or so considered/ believed to be, an 'expert' , who at least once in his
lifetime would have been obliged or under compulsion had to go to another consultant . Often the
object is to have with him an external advice, so as to fall back on, if so required
later for self-defence. That can happen even if the second opinion sought and taken
is on a point of accounting or tax, on which no firm view or conviction is
possible.
This is almost a daily routine in the life of a CA, howsoever
knowledgeable he be in his own way, who seeks the help of a lawyer for a second
opinion on a point of accounting or tax; but with the predominant aim of ‘passing
the bug’ so to say. In reality, however, and according to a sane largely
accepted perception, a CA, if say, functioning as a statutory auditor or tax
adviser, will not be right in simply
taking and deciding to act as per the lawyer’s opinion as ‘gospel’;
if he does so, will, for obvious reason, be acting (or failing to act) at his own
peril.
Be that as it could not be truthfully or fairly expected to
be otherwise anyway, for instance, even on a quick look at the latest modified
form and substance of ‘statutory audit
report’ – financial or tax, may not fail to enable anyone with a reasonable
level of IQ to realize where we are heading.

To add, in quest of some comfort, the consolation has, with having only a Hobson’s choice, to be eventually found in the actual / factual ‘realities’ largely obtaining but taken in the stride in regard to every other human activity one can think of. The imponderable anyone is sure to be ultimately left with, but most likely as ever before remain unanswered to eternity , is this: Who or what exactly is responsible and to be truly blamed !

<> This is yet another glaring instance, which in one's perception,and long standing conviction, goes to demonstrate the indisputable fact of life; namely that, most of such or similar type of litigation, could have been avoided/not prolonged, in any event to the level of High court, had the Revenue / its concerned lower authorities, besides taxpayers, have cared and acted sanely and sensibly on an issue reasonably settled once by the court in any State, constituting a "PRECEDENT". Especially so,should the factual matrix in a given case is, in material respects, on all fours/not at variance in an intelligent comparison to that earlier decided court case.
No need to add: Now that the new chief of CBDT, the highest executive authority,- if were to go by the tenor/spirit of a recent directive issued by him,- seems to be inclined to depart from the past practice, and instead, follow a right or better path in the proper administration of the tax law,- it is to be believed , would not but afford the utmost attention to the said aspect and do his best to change the course of direction suitably, so as to lead to a preferred infructuous -litigation-free outcome.
Over to suitably equipped 'experts' for carrying forward the matter, keeping in focus what is essentially to be done for the common good of both taxpayers and the Revenue.
