My client has received an incentive for early completion of project under the works contract. The Incentive was announced in the contract when it was entered and now it has been determined. Whether there will VAT on this amount received. Accoring to me it should not be brought to tax under VAT. It is neither a sale of goods nor a service under service tax. It is laible only for income tax.
Is my understanding correct.

Sec 24(b):In case of co-owners, each co-owner is eligible to claim a dedcution of interest on housing loan to the extent of Rs. 150,000/- in case of self occupied property.

Do share any supporting case law for the above.

Also, do clarify whether restriction of interest to Rs. 150,000/- is inclusive of pre-construction interest also.

Sir,
In one of the cases the A.O. has disallowed the depreciation on a motor cycle on the ground that the Motor Cycle was procured on 31/3 and was not registered in the name of assessee. He has also proposed penalty u/s 271(1)(c) on the addition so made. Is he justified in doing so? I have read somewhere that in such a case the penalty should not be imposed. Please provide me the details of any related case or the provisions.
This is urgent.

Thanks in advance.
