Supreme Court Upholds Delhi HC Ruling on AIF Taxes; HC Bars Arbitrary FD Interest Cuts
The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a Delhi High Court ruling that limited the application of a 2014 CBDT circular on Category-III alternative investment funds, providing relief to Equity Intelligence AIF Trust. Separately, the Delhi High Court ruled that banks cannot arbitrarily reduce interest rates on fixed deposits created under court orders, requiring valid justification for any such reduction. This decision arose from a dispute involving NatWest Markets and a fixed deposit linked to an arbitration case between Hero Exports and Tiffins Barrytes.
