C. VYAS, PRESIDENT<\/p>\n<p>       This appeal has been preferred against order dated 11.01.2011 of<\/p>\n<p>District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Surguja-Ambikapur<\/p>\n<p>(hereinafter called &#8220;District Forum&#8221; for short) in an unregistered<\/p>\n<p>execution case of 2007 for execution of award dated 21.03.07 of the<\/p>\n<p>District Forum, passed in complaint case No.147\/04.<\/p>\n<p>2.     The contention of the appellant herein is that an award of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.5,00,000\/- was passed along with interest in favour of the appellant<\/p>\n<p>herein against the insurance company. The insurance company, on<br \/>\n                                     \/\/ 2 \/\/<\/p>\n<p>05.05.07, deposited Rs.25,000\/- before the District Forum for filing<\/p>\n<p>appeal before this Commission. Prayer of the appellant \/ complainant<\/p>\n<p>before District Forum as well as before us, is that this amount be first<\/p>\n<p>adjusted against the amount of interest and not against the principal<\/p>\n<p>amount of award.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     We have heard arguments of both parties on this question and<\/p>\n<p>perused the impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.     The District Forum vide the impugned order has recorded<\/p>\n<p>finding that if the deposited amount Rs.25,000\/- is deducted from the<\/p>\n<p>principal   amount,    then   the     principal   amount   remains     only<\/p>\n<p>Rs.4,75,000\/- and then interest on that amount, if it is calculated for<\/p>\n<p>three months and twenty eight days @ 9% p.a., then it comes to<\/p>\n<p>Rs.14,012.50p. If that amount of interest, rest of the principal amount<\/p>\n<p>and the amount of cost is taken into consideration then the amount<\/p>\n<p>which has been deposited in the case by the insurance company, so far,<\/p>\n<p>is the payment, in full satisfaction of the order of District Forum.<\/p>\n<p>5.     The contention of the appellant \/ complainant is that the<\/p>\n<p>amount of Rs.25,000\/- was required to be adjusted in the amount of<\/p>\n<p>interest and interest was required to be calculated on the whole<\/p>\n<p>awarded amount of Rs.5,00,000\/- and the District Forum has<br \/>\n                                  \/\/ 3 \/\/<\/p>\n<p>committed a mistake in making calculation on the basis that the<\/p>\n<p>deposited amount would be adjusted first against the principal<\/p>\n<p>amount and then interest would be calculated on rest of the principal<\/p>\n<p>amount. We do not find any substance in the arguments advanced by<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the appellant. The amount which was deposited by the<\/p>\n<p>insurance company can either be adjusted against the interest or<\/p>\n<p>against the principal amount, as the case may be and as the District<\/p>\n<p>Forum has chosen to adjust the deposited amount against the principal<\/p>\n<p>amount first and then to calculate amount of interest on the rest of the<\/p>\n<p>principal amount for three months and twenty eight days, then such<\/p>\n<p>calculation of interest cannot be said erroneous and such amount has<\/p>\n<p>already been paid by the insurance company.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.    The second contention of learned counsel for the appellant is<\/p>\n<p>that the insurance has deducted Rs.14,691\/- as TDS and has paid the<\/p>\n<p>remaining amount only. He submitted no TDS was required to be<\/p>\n<p>deducted by the insurance company on the amount of award, because<\/p>\n<p>that amount was required to be paid as per orders of the District<\/p>\n<p>Forum and it was an amount of decree of a Court, so the insurance<\/p>\n<p>company was not required to deduct any amount from the decretal<\/p>\n<p>amount.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                 \/\/ 4 \/\/<\/p>\n<p>7.    In this regard, counsel for the insurance company has drawn<\/p>\n<p>our attention towards a Press Release, No.402\/92\/2006-MC(04 of<\/p>\n<p>2010), dated 20.01.2010 of Government of India, Ministry of Finance,<\/p>\n<p>Department of Revenue, Central Board of Direct Taxes and it has been<\/p>\n<p>submitted that as per this Press Release, the insurance company was<\/p>\n<p>required to deduct tax at source @ 20% or the higher of the prescribed<\/p>\n<p>rate, where Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the deductee was<\/p>\n<p>not mentioned. Provisions of section 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961<\/p>\n<p>has also been referred by counsel for the respondent to show that the<\/p>\n<p>amount was required to be deducted against tax deduction at source,<\/p>\n<p>on the amount of interest.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    Section 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides as under : &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;194A (1) Any person, not being an individual or a<br \/>\n            Hindu undivided family, who is responsible for<br \/>\n            paying to a resident any income by way of interest<br \/>\n            other than income [by way of interest on<br \/>\n            securities], shall, at the time of credit of such<br \/>\n            income to the account of the payee or at the time<br \/>\n            of payment thereof in cash or by issue of a cheque<br \/>\n            or draft or by any other mode, whichever is<br \/>\n            earlier, deduct income-tax thereon at the rates in<br \/>\n            force:&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      Then certain provisions for such deduction have been<\/p>\n<p>mentioned under which no such deduction would be made. Provision<\/p>\n<p>(ix) says that no such deduction would be made from the amount of<\/p>\n<p>interest on the amount of compensation awarded by M.A.C.T. when<br \/>\n                                     \/\/ 5 \/\/<\/p>\n<p>such amount of interest is less than Rs.50,000\/-.        But when we<\/p>\n<p>minutely go through this provision, then we find that in this provision<\/p>\n<p>of Law nothing is said in respect of amount payable under an order of<\/p>\n<p>a Court, so when some amount is required to be paid under an order<\/p>\n<p>of a Court, then it is no more applicable and in the present matter,<\/p>\n<p>payer was not required to deduct any amount as income tax, because<\/p>\n<p>in such case the liability of payment of tax will be shifted upon the<\/p>\n<p>person, who receives payment of the amount which is required to be<\/p>\n<p>deposited in a Court of Law from where it is to be paid to the<\/p>\n<p>concerning person. Therefore, such amount in the hand of the payee,<\/p>\n<p>cannot be said to be an income of interest and payable to someone else<\/p>\n<p>by the payee, from which compulsory deduction of tax was necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we find that the respondent insurance company has committed<\/p>\n<p>mistake in deducting amount of TDS and then paying remaining<\/p>\n<p>amount.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>9.      Therefore, on this limited ground, the appeal succeeds and is<\/p>\n<p>allowed. The respondents are directed to pay the amount which has<\/p>\n<p>been deducted by way of TDS to the complainant \/ appellant along<\/p>\n<p>with a certificate that no Tax has been deducted at source and it will be<\/p>\n<p>liability of the complainant \/ appellant to pay any tax, if payable<\/p>\n<p>under the provisions of Law. With this observation, the appeal is<\/p>\n<p>disposed of. No order as to cost.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>     (Justice S.C.Vyas)                               (V.K.
