The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has dismissed the appeal filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax (ACIT) against Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR), upholding the company’s claims for deductions under Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act.

Key highlights:

- The dispute centered on deductions related to income from Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and lease rent amortization.

- The ITAT cited a Supreme Court ruling that recognized ICDs as “inland ports,” making them eligible for infrastructure-related tax benefits.

- The tribunal also accepted CONCOR’s treatment of advance lease rent as amortizable business expenditure.

Legal context:

- The ACIT had challenged the deductions on grounds of prior disallowance and pending litigation, but the tribunal ruled that the

Supreme Court’s decision settled the matter conclusively.

- The ITAT directed the assessing officer to delete the disallowed amounts, reinforcing judicial consistency across assessment years.

Impact:

- The ruling strengthens CONCOR’s tax position and sets a precedent for similar infrastructure-related claims by logistics firms.
