Case History
Summary: M/S. Birla Cement Works v. CBDT, CA 5004/1997 The Supreme Court quashed the CBDT's March 8, 1994 circular extending Section 194C tax deduction requirements to transport contracts. The Court held that before July 1, 1995, Section 194C did not apply to carriage of goods, as "carrying out any work" excludes mere transportation. The Court rejected the CBDT's misinterpretation of ACC v. CIT and ruled that Explanation III (added July 1, 1995) only clarified applicability from that date forward, not retroactively.
