7. Change in persons carrying on
business.-
As from the date of any change in
the persons carrying on a business, the business shall be deemed for all the
purposes of this act to have been discontinued and a new business
to have been commenced:
Provided that where a change takes place in the persons carrying on a business
and where except for such change relief would be allowable under section 6, the
Central Board of Revenue may, if it thinks fit, allow such relief under that
section as it considers just, having regard to the extent to which the persons
directly or indirectly interested in the business before the change remain
interested therein after the change.
