COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX

Vs

BOEHRINGER KNOLL LIMITED

BENCH

Judge(s)  : S. P. BHARUCHA., T. D. SUGLA 

JUDGMENT

The judgment of the court was delivered by

T. D. SUGLA J.-The only question of law raised in this reference at the instance of the Department is :

"Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the medical expenses reimbursed by the assessee to four of its employees should not be taken into account as 'perquisites' for the purpose of section 40(a)(v) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ?"

Counsel are agreed that in view of this court's decision in the case of CIT v. Indokem Pvt. Ltd. [1981] 132 ITR 125, the question has to be answered in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee. The question is so answered. No order as to costs.
