Holding in favour of the assessee, the Tribunal clarified that high-rate taxation under section 115BBE requires clear proof of bogus receipts. Suspicion based on third-party searches is insufficient.
The Tribunal held that additions in a search assessment cannot survive without incriminating material. Mere repetition of an annulled earlier assessment was found legally unsustainable.
The decision reiterates that the Revenue must prove that borrowed funds were actually used for non-business purposes. In absence of such proof, interest paid to banks remains allowable.
It was ruled that once books are accepted, expenses supported by ledgers, vouchers, and bank payments cannot be disallowed on suspicion. Ad-hoc estimation without rejecting books was held invalid.
The ruling emphasizes that statements relied upon by the Revenue must be confronted to the assessee with an opportunity of cross-examination. Failure to do so renders additions legally unsustainable.
The government has approved an institution for scientific research under section 35(1)(ii), enabling donors to claim tax deductions. The key takeaway is that the approval is time-bound and subject to strict reporting and certification requirements.
