Preface
In certain core papers at the Intermediate and Final levels, the question paper
has a dedicated section for 30 marks for objective type questions in the form
of MCQs, comprising of both independent MCQs and case scenario based MCQs.
These MCQs for 30 marks would be compulsory and there would be no internal
or external choice available in respect of such questions. Each MCQ would
have four options out of which you have to choose the one correct option.
The Board of Studies, in its endeavour to assist students in their learning

process, has come out with a MCQ booklet in the above core papers. This
booklet on Final (New) Paper 7 : Direct Tax Laws and International Taxation
comprises of 120 independent MCQs and 40 case scenarios.
Case scenario based MCQs are all application-oriented and arise from the facts
of the case. You need to apply the relevant provisions of direct tax laws to the
facts of the case to choose the correct option. The independent MCQs may be
application-oriented or knowledge-based. Since Final (New) Paper 7 – Direct
Tax Laws and International Taxation is largely application-oriented, the
independent MCQs in this subject would be mostly application-oriented.
The independent MCQs and case scenario based MCQs in this subject have to
be answered on the basis of the provisions of direct tax laws, as amended by
the Finance Act, 2021; as well as the significant notifications and circulars
issued upto 31.10.2021. The relevant assessment year on the basis of which
MCQs have to be answered is A.Y. 2022-23, unless otherwise specified in the
question.
This booklet relating to Final (New) Paper 7 Direct Tax Laws and International
Taxation is relevant for May 2022 and November 2022 examinations. Students
appearing in November 2022 examinations need to consider the Statutory
Update (containing significant notifications, circulars and other legislative
amendments between 01.11.2021 and 30.04.2022), which would be web-
hosted at the BoS Knowledge Portal.
Please note that before working out the independent MCQs and case scenario
based MCQs in this booklet, you have to be thorough with the concepts and
provisions of direct tax laws and international taxation discussed in the October,
2021 edition of the Study Material, which is based on the provisions of direct
iii

tax laws as amended by the Finance Act, 2021; as well as the significant
notifications and circulars issued upto 31.10.2021. Further, the students
appearing in November 2022 examinations also need to go through the
Statutory Update which will be web-hosted at the BoS Knowledge Portal.
After attaining conceptual clarity by reading the Study Material, you are
expected to apply the concepts and provisions learnt in answering the
independent and case scenario based MCQs given in this booklet. You have to
read the case scenario and MCQs, identify the provisions of direct tax laws
involved, apply the provisions correctly in addressing the issue raised/making
the computation required in the MCQ, and finally, choose the correct answer.
This process of learning concepts and provisions in direct tax laws and
international taxation and solving independent and case scenario based MCQs
based thereon will help you attain conceptual clarity and hone your application
and analytical skills so that you are able to approach the examination with
confidence and a positive attitude.

Assume that SBI one-year marginal cost of lending rate is 10%
on 1.4.2023 and 11% on 1.4.2024.

(a) Since X has maintained information and documents as
prescribed under section 92D, that by itself is sufficient
for holding that X has not under-reported its income
(b) If the Assessing Officer/Transfer Pricing Officer makes
adjustment to X’s total income on account of an
international transaction not being in accordance with
arm’s length price, that by itself is sufficient to hold that

X has under-reported its income; consequently, penalty

u/s 270A is leviable
(c) Since X has not reported the transaction as an
international transaction, X will be considered to have
under-reported its income and penalty will be 50% of the
amount of tax payable on the under-reported income
(d) Since X has not reported the transaction as an
international transaction, X will be considered to have
misreported its income and penalty will be 200% of the
amount of tax payable on the misreported income
13.6 In the scenario given above, what would be the situation on
account of application of transfer pricing provisions if X, the
Indian company would have been the lender and Y, the US
company, the borrower?
Rate of interest on loan by X to Y = 6.5% p.a.
For borrowers with similar risk profile who are not associated
enterprises of X, X advances loan at 4% p.a. interest rate.
(a) Identical adjustment would be made to the income of Y
instead of X
(b) No adjustment would be required in the hands of X or Y
(c) Identical adjustment would made to the income Y as
well as X
(d) Adjustment would still be made to the income of X and
no adjustment would be made to the income of Y

September 2022 declaring loss of ` 14,00,000. The rate of income-tax
applicable to the company is 30%.
The tax auditor of Z, in his audit report submitted under section 44AB,
has reported a disallowance of ` 50,000 towards personal expenditure
of directors as no evidence was produced by Z in support of this
expenditure. However, Z did not disallow the same in its computation
and return of income.
The return of income was processed by the Centralised Processing
Centre making an addition of ` 50,000 towards personal expenditure
and the loss u/s 143(1) was computed at ` 13,50,000.
The return of income was selected for scrutiny assessment and by
order passed u/s 143(3), the loss as per normal provisions was
reduced to ` 10,50,000 by making an addition of ` 3,00,000.
The assessment was reopened u/s 147 and by order passed u/s 147,
the loss as per preceding order u/s 143(3) was converted into income
of ` 2,00,000.
answer to the following questions (Ignore MAT) -
14.1. Which of the following statements regarding penalty on
addition of ` 50,000 towards personal expenditure is correct?

towards personal expenditure of directors, Z shall be
considered to have under-reported its income.

(ii) The under-reporting on account of claiming personal

expenditure of directors as deduction can be construed
as misreporting of income as it is a claim of expenditure
not substantiated by any evidence.
(iii) Since addition of ` 50,000 is an adjustment referred to in
section 143(1)(a), no penalty is leviable in respect of this
addition.

(b) ` 5,30,400
(c) ` 1,95,000
(d) ` 1,24,800

on account of misreporting of income but only on account of

under-reporting, Z seeks to claim immunity from imposition of

penalty u/s 270A and initiation of proceedings u/s 276C of the
Act by filing an application in this regard before the Assessing
Officer. What are the other conditions that need to be satisfied
