Summary

The Commissioner of Income Tax (International Taxation)-2, Mumbai appealed against Indium IV (Mauritius) Holdings Limited concerning a tax effect of Rs. 1,43,51,146 for assessment year 2017-18. The court considered the tax effect in light of Circular No.9/2024 issued by the CBDT on 17 September 2024. It held that, given the circular, there was no need to continue the proceedings. Consequently, the appeal was permitted to be withdrawn and the matter was disposed of without costs, with a refund of court fees ordered. The court expressly kept the questions of law open, and the interim application was also dismissed.
