In a finance lease, claim for “lease equalization charge” as per ICAI Guidelines is allowable

CIT vs. Virtual Soft Systems Ltd (Delhi High Court)


The assessee received lease charges and claimed a reduction towards “lease equalization charges” on the ground that reduction was in accordance with the Guidance Note dated 20.09.1995 issued by the ICAI in respect of Accounting for Leases and the Accounting Standard AS-1 notified u/s 145 which mandated that the accounting policy of the assessee should represent a true and fair view. The AO & CIT (A) rejected the claim on the ground that it was a “notional charge” and that the accounting guidelines could not override the Act. The Tribunal (38 SOT 412), however, allowed the claim. On appeal by the department, HELD dismissing the appeal
