Burden to prove the genuineness of the gift is on the Assessee

December 31, 2009 1312 Views 0 comment Print

The financial affairs of both the donors do not evoke confidence that they could have made the gift of large amounts compared to their incomes in a circumstance when their monies were locked up elsewhere. They themselves did not own any immovable property. These facts impinge directly on the genuineness of the gifts also.

For a finance company, money is the product with which it carries on the business. Since the directors have made maiden venture. The necessity of establishing good will and reputation, that too in a finance company, is of utmost necessity. At the same time, it cannot give a permanent license to the company to continue to violate the provisions of section 269SS/269T.

We have heard learned counsel for the assessee. Learned counsel for the assessee drew our attention to various clauses in leave and license agreement and submitted that the premises were given purely on license basis with fixtures and fittings. It was also pointed out that under the license agreement, the assessee also retained duplicate key of the main entrance door, which indicates that the control and possession of the premises was always with the assessee.

. From the various judgments of the Supreme Court above referred to and other High Courts, it is clear that the Tribunal’s power under Section 254(2) is not to review its earlier order but only to amend it with a view to rectify any mistake apparent from the record. What can be termed as “mistake apparent?”. “Mistake” in general means to take or understand wrongly or inaccurately; to make an error in interpreting; it is an error; a fault, a misunderstanding, a misconception.
