Income Tax

ITAT held that interest received on enhanced compensation is taxable as "Income from Other Sources," rejecting exemption claims. The decision clarifies the tax treatment of compensation-related income, such that any interest component on enhanced compensation for compulsory acquisition of land is subject to tax under the head "Income from Other Sources," aligning with judicial precedents on similar matters and stating that only 50% of such interest is deductible under Section 57(iv).
