For the purpose of levy, assets are classified as two categories one as productive and other as non productive.

271(1)(c) : Penalty can be imposed on undisclosed bank accounts based on peak credits theory

June 28, 2015 4639 Views 0 comment Print

We find that it is not in dispute that the undisclosed bank account which was detected by the department contains transfer entries to other 5 undisclosed bank accounts maintained by the assessee. In view of this fact the Tribunal concluded that the subsequent disclosure of the assessee of existence of the said 5 bank accounts cannot be held as voluntary.

14A : No disallowance of expenditure can be made on estimate basis against exempt income

June 27, 2015 2527 Views 0 comment Print

The Revenue has not brought any positive material on record to show that the assessee actually incurred any expenses in relation to earning of exempt income. In our considered view, before making disallowance under section 14A, it was imperative on the part of the Revenue

Expense cannot be held unproved, un-genuine and bogus sham for merely because it remain unpaid on B/s Date

June 27, 2015 724 Views 0 comment Print

Simply because outstanding liability at the end of the year is comparatively higher, considering the amount of expenditure incurred during the year, does not empower the AO to disallow the actual outstanding liability unless it is found that the liability shown was not genuine.

In case of rejection of books of account profit ratio applied for earlier year should be considered

June 27, 2015 2312 Views 0 comment Print

Whether profit % can be applied on estimate basis if books of accounts are rejected, without reference to earlier year’s profit % where books were accounts were not rejected or whether the Assessing Officer is justified in Assessing the profit at a rate higher than earlier year in which profit was assessed by Assessing officer without specifying the reason for the same?

Even if Assessee fails to appear or attend his case CIT (A) should decide appeal on merits

June 27, 2015 2800 Views 0 comment Print

In our considered view, even if the assessee failed to put-in appearance, it is the duty of the CIT(A) to dispose of the appeal on merit on the basis of material available on record. Our view finds support from the decision of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of VODAFONE ESSAR LTD Vs. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PANEL–II & Ors. in W.P.(C) 7028/2010 order dated 02.12.2010.

Books cannot be rejected without verifying, merely on the ground that its afterthought of the Assessee

June 27, 2015 1010 Views 0 comment Print

It was incumbent upon the Assessing Officer to examine the books of accounts with the related evidences and documents and thereafter should have arrived at a decision. Without verification of books of accounts produced before him and bringing any material on record, the Assessing Officer was not justified in rejecting the books of accounts of the assessee as an afterthought.

If once income is already assessed by AO u/s. 44AE no separate addition to income can be made

June 27, 2015 1081 Views 0 comment Print

The contention of the assessee is that he has shown income from truck under section 44AE of Rs. 2,01,000/- which includes income of Rs.1,07,890/- from M/s. Chandan Carriers, and therefore, no separate addition of Rs.1,07,890/- is warranted. None of the lower authorities has verified this contention of the assessee.

271(1)(c) : Penalty cannot be imposed merely because assessee didn’t objected to addition

June 27, 2015 1238 Views 0 comment Print

However, it is a well-settled proposition that the quantum of penalty proceedings are separate proceedings and penalty cannot be imposed merely on the ground that the assessee did not challenge or agitate the issue before higher forum and accepted the disallowance made by the AO.
