The Tribunal examined whether a creditor’s unilateral write-off automatically results in cessation of liability for the assessee. It held that such write-off requires factual verification and cannot, by itself, trigger addition under section 41(1).
The ruling clarified that exemption under section 54F cannot be denied if it was not part of the reasons for reopening. Reassessment was quashed as the sole addition lay outside recorded grounds.
Recognising the role of a Kaccha Arhtia, the Tribunal ruled that only commission constitutes income. TDS deducted on gross receipts belonging to farmers still entitles the agent to full credit.
