We have to go in flaash -back or ahead while we read Singhanis's book on Direct Taxes.
.
For understanding the case we have to apply similar strategy to interpret the term "Servant" .
.
Basically , MPs and MLAs , when are not elected, they beg for votes in the name of service of the nation or service of the public. These chaps ( not CHAP LOOSES) demand votes in the similar manner as if an unemployed applies for a Job.
.
After getting a job past becomes a history -to which hardly any one desires to recall. We have many examples where servants have become the Bosses.
.
Further, without exceptional provisions -If you read subjects like Direct Taxes, you will get bored.
.
So, I presume that -an exceptional case has been discussed in Singhania Sirs' Book.
Yes... I am coming to the EXCEPTIONAL case.
This was the case of an "HONEST" MLA ....
.
from whom -charging fee directly was too difficult for the tax consultant also.
.
So, the Tax -consultant applied the provisions in the manner suitable to the case .
.
He was knowing the fact that the....thes... these law-makers never understand the law made by their own.
.
And.... what about TDS provisions..... ????????. TDS deducted or not.....
