Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of settlement deeds under the Income Tax Act, 1961, specifically Sections 61, 63, 164(1), and 166. The Court held that income from U.S. and U.K. trusts is not taxable in India if taxes have been paid in the respective countries, establishing that the settlor's inclusion of such income in tax returns was a mistake. The Court affirmed the Settlement Commission's order directing the computation of taxable income for the relevant assessment years.
