HC : Education Cess not 'tax'; Sec.40(a)(ii) disallowance not attracted

Rajasthan HC reverses ITAT’s order, holds that education cess cannot be disallowed under the provisions of Sec. 40(a)(ii); Relies on CBDT Circular No. F. NO. 91/58/66-ITJ(19) dated May 18th , 1967 which clarifies that since the word ‘cess’ had been omitted from Sec. 40(a)(ii), only taxes paid are to be disallowed for AY 1962-63 and onwards; Relies on SC ruling in the case of Jaipuria Samla Amalgamated Collieries Ltd. wherein while ruling on disallowance under Sec 10(4) erstwhile Income-tax Act, 1922, SC had held that 'road cess' and 'public work cess' could not be treated as tax:HC
