Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Madras High Court's decision that absolved the respondent from additional tax liability under the Income Tax Act, 1961, specifically referencing Section 143(3). The Court established that the respondent acted as a broker and not as an independent dealer, thus the additional interest paid to PSUs should not be considered as income. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming that the additional interest was not taxable income of the respondent.
