The ITAT Bangalore held that disallowance under Section 40(a)(i) could not survive once the recipient of the income settled the tax dispute under the Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, 2024. The ruling relied on CBDT Circular No.19/2024 and FAQ No.58 granting consequential relief to the deductor.
The Tribunal observed that taxpayers opting for presumptive taxation are not required to maintain books of account and therefore Section 68 could not be applied merely on the basis of bank statements.
Delhi ITAT held that issues relating to source of donations and cash deposits should generally be examined during assessment proceedings, not at the registration stage. The Tribunal remanded the matter for fresh consideration under Section 12AB.
The ITAT ruled that when the Revenue accepts business turnover and sales activity, corresponding cash deposits in bank accounts cannot again be added as unexplained cash credits under section 68. The Tribunal restricted the addition only to estimation of reasonable profit.
