Taxpayers, who hold foreign bank accounts or properties, will now have to furnish details of their foreign assets which include information like country name, address of the bank, name mentioned in the account and peak balance during the year etc.
Ld. CIT(A) on pages 51-52 of his order that the assessee could not provide even the names and addresses of those parties to whom cash sales were claimed to have been made. This is the main basis on which Ld. CIT(A) has confirmed the decision of the A.O. In our considered opinion, it cannot be said that in the case of cash sales, the assessee is bound to keep record of the names and addresses of the buyers. The judgement of Hon’ble Bombay High Court cited by the Ld. A.R. rendered in the case of R B Gurnam Fatehchand vs ACIT as reported in 75 ITR 33 also supports the case of the assessee. In that case also, the assessee was not in a position to give the addresses of the customers to whom cash sales were made. Under these facts, it was held by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court that this cannot be the basis to reject the book results.

Tribunal decision in the case of ITO Vs Gyani Exports as reported in 94 TTJ 557 wherein, it was held that gain from foreign exchange fluctuation as eligible for deduction u/s 80HHC. No contrary decision was brought to our notice by Ld. D.R. and hence, on this issue also, we decline to interfere in the order of Ld. CIT(A).
It has not been disputed that the four sellers of the agricultural lands were neither examined nor their statements recorded, nor sec. 50C was invoked against them. Under these circumstances, the addition on the basis of a presumption which according to I.T. Act can only be raised against seller, cannot be made in the hands of the purchaser. Besides, we find merit in the argument of learned counsel for the assessee that provisions of sec. 142A cannot be applied against a transaction which is stock in trade. Order of CIT(A) is upheld as being on just and proper observation.
Amended section 10B as well as section 10A, 10AA, 10BA were introduced in the Act with a specific purpose. All these sections can be classified as ‘special provisions’ with regard to allowable deductions in certain areas. Said sections contain an in-built mechanism for computing the profits arising out of the business activities of the units/undertakings. It is a fact that above sections, including section 10B talk about ‘deductions’, but it is also a fact that still they are part of Chapter III i.e., the chapter that deals with income which do not form part of total income.
The issue as to whether there was concealment of particulars of income on the part of the assessee so as to attract penalty under section 271(1)(c) depends on the acceptability of the explanation of the assessee that the mistake in this regard was inadvertent due to his ignorance of Indian Income-tax law, hence there was bona fide reason for the same.
It is not a case where the Assessing Officer has brought any material on record to indicate that the revenue was aware of the non-genuineness of the gift received by the assessee. Except vague observations that there was a fake gift racket nothing specific has been pointed out in the case of the assessee. In fact action of the Assessing Officer on the ground that assessee has concealed income is contradictory in terms for the simple reason that the Investigation Wing appears to have passed on the information, in the year 2002, to the Assessing Officer that a sum of Rs. 5 lakhs was taken by assessee in the form of a gift from ‘B’, the record indicates a gift of Rs. 1 lakh only.
