September 4, 2019 1461 Views 0 comment Print

AO of the searched person had not rebutted the presumption that the seized documents  belonged to M/s. C Ltd but belonged to other person, i.e, assessee, therefore, issue of notice under section 153C on assessee was illegal. 

AO not justified in assuming jurisdiction u/s 153C based on documents which does not indicate existence of any unaccounted income

September 4, 2019 1476 Views 0 comment Print

Impugned bank certificate is not an incriminating document based on which the concluded assessment in the case of the assessee can be disturbed. In view of this according to us , we hold that no addition can be made in the hands of the assessee in absence of any incriminating evidence leading to any unaccounted income unearthed during the course of search. 

Section 195(1) & 40(a)(ia) talks about tax deduction where sum is chargeable to tax

September 4, 2019 5421 Views 0 comment Print

Coming to the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, the said section also provides that any interest, royalty, fees for technical services or other sum chargeable under this Act on which tax is deductible at source under chapter XVII-B and such tax has not been deducted or after deduction has not been paid on or before the due date specified in section 139(1) of the Act. We therefore find that both the provisions of section 195(1) as well as 40(a)(ia) of the Act talks about deduction of tax at source where the sum is chargeable under this Act.

There is nothing in section 40(a)(ia) to treat assessee as a defaulter where there is shortfall in deduction of TDS and if the shortfall is due to any difference of opinion as to taxability of any item or the nature of payment falling under various TDS provisions, the assessee can only be declared to be an assessee-in-default under section 201 and no disallowance could be made.
