The Reserve Bank has today once again issued an advisory cautioning the members of public against responding in any manner to offers of moneys from abroad.

Recently ITAT Mumbai in the case of Ruchi Strips & Alloys Ltd vs. DCIT held that the concealment of income had its repercussions only when the assessment was done under the normal procedure. If the assessment as per the normal procedure was not acted upon and it was the deemed income assessed u/s 115JB which became the basis of assessment, the concealment had no role to play and was totally irrelevant. The concealment did not lead to tax evasion at all.
The AO’s argument that the assessee could have utilized its surplus funds for repaying the borrowings instead of investing in shares and by not doing so, there was diversion of borrowed funds towards investment in shares to earn dividend income is not acceptable in view of CIT vs. Hero Cycles Ltd 323 ITR 518 (P&H) where Abhishek Industries was distinguished and it was held disallowance u/s 14A of interest on borrowed funds was not permissible if the investment in shares was made out of own funds.

Renu Hingorani vs. ACIT (ITAT Mumbai) – The AO had not questioned the actual consideration received by the assessee but the addition was made purely on the basis of the deeming provisions of s. 50C. The AO had not doubted the agreement or given any finding that the actual sale consideration was more than the sale consideration stated in the sale agreement. The fact that the assessee agreed to the addition is not conclusive proof that the sale consideration as per agreement was incorrect and wrong. Accordingly, there was no concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income.
