Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Review Petition, affirming that the judgment in Sahney Steel & Press Works Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax upheld the classification of power subsidy as a revenue receipt rather than a capital receipt. The Court clarified that the earlier case of Commissioner of Income Tax v. P.J. Chemicals Limited was not applicable as it dealt with depreciation and capital asset costs under Sections 43(1), 43(6), and 32(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and did not address the nature of subsidies. The dismissal was based on the merits of the case, maintaining the original ruling.
