It will therefore be erroneous to deduct tax at source just because in a particular case the formula or yardstick adopted for computation alludes to the term \u201cinterest\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commission clarified that it is neither adding to nor subtracting from the Income Tax Act. If a person is responsible to pay income tax on any revenue or capital receipt under the aid Act, he will be so liable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to the above, Coram stated that compensation awarded under the Consumer Protection Act is for the loss or injury suffered and is universally applicable to both goods and services inclusive of the service relating to housing construction.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">The context and meaning of the term \u201cinterest\u201d if used in the mode of calculation or a formula or yardstick adopted for computing compensation under section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act is identifiably different from the context and meaning as used in Section 194A of the Income Tax Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, there was no justification for deducting tax at source in the instant case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Concluding the matter, the Commission observed that the tax deducted at source on compensation appeared to be a mistake with <em>no malafide <\/em>and even though the tax ought not to have been deducted it is also seen that the same has not been retained by the judgment debtors and deposited in the account of the decree-holder in the Income Tax Department.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above discussion, the matter was closed.
