Section 4 Section 10(30)

Income - Capital or revenue receipt - AO disallowed deduction under section 10(30) and taxed subsidy received from Tea Board under special purpose Tea Fund Scheme -

Assessee claimed deduction under section 10(30) in respect of subsidy received from Tea Board under Special Purpose Tea Fund Scheme. Since Special Purpose Tax Fund Scheme was yet to be notified by Central Government, AO held that assessee was not eligible for exemption under section 10(30) and, therefore, AO taxed the same. Held: Even if section 10(30) was not applicable, since subsidy was given for replantation, replacement planting and rejuvenation planting of tea bushes, it could be only termed as a capital receipt, and not revenue receipt.
