Harish Kumar, (Huf) Vs DCIT (ITAT Delhi)
We find that assessee filed its return Income of Rs. 35,29,470/- with income from investments i.e. dividends, capital gains and interest and AO taken the return for scrutiny u/s. 143(2) of the Act under CASS and no income escaping based on the information on section 94(7) of the Act disallowance on information based on AIR.
We further note that AO has issued various notices u/s 143(2)/142(1) of the Act, but has not made any enquiry for the disallowance in the case of the assessee u/s. 94(7) of the Act. AO on the basis of the query for dividend income on 07.12.2017 issued a notice u/s. 142(1) and asked the assessee to file the detail of all dividend / bonus income earned by the assessee in a specified format and filed all the details in the original return of income.
In compliance of the same on 13.12.2017 Ld. Counsel for the assessee appeared and took adjournment for 15.12.2017 and examined all details of dividend / bonus income and found that there is an inadvertent clerical error committed by the Chartered Accountant taxguru.in and on the advice of Senior Chartered Accountant, the assessee filed voluntary revised computation of income wherein a Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG) of Rs. 1,43,53,921/- has been increased to Rs. 3,42,05,795/- due to the disallowance of Rs. 1,98,51,874/- u/s. 94(7) of the Act at the first opportunity as soon as it came to the notice of the assesee.
We note that Assessee has committed this mistake for furnishing of inaccurate particulars in the return due to the inadvertent bonafide error in the claim due to one entry by the accounts staff posted at wrong date due to huge voluminous transactions and dividend coupons for dividend from same security punched at one voucher i.e. entry of two dividend received on same security (Rs. 1,98,51,874/- received on 28.1.2015 and Rs. 3,38,62,717/- received on 25.3.2015 made cumulatively on 26.3.2015 i.e. date of sale of investments (26.3.2015) and receipt date of second dividend.
