November 7, 2012 2255 Views 0 comment Print

Mere possession of money, bullion, jewelery or such valuable article or thing per-se would not be sufficient to enable the competent officer to form a belief that the same had not been or would not be disclosed for the purpose of the Act. What is required is some concrete material to enable a reasonable person to form such a belief.

HC penalises CIT & ACIT for seeking to circumvent the law & deplorable conduct

November 7, 2012 876 Views 0 comment Print

Conduct of ACIT­10(1) Mumbai as well as CIT­10 Mumbai is highly deplorable. Once the jurisdiction to assess the petitioner was transferred by the CIT­10 Mumbai from ACIT­10(1) Mumbai to DCIT Circle­1(2) Pune by order dated 22.11.2011 it was totally improper on the part of ACIT­10(1) Mumbai to request the CIT¬10, Mumbai to pass a corrigendum order with a view to circumvent the jurisdictional issue.

Non-consideration of judgment of jurisdictional High Court is a mistake

November 7, 2012 2695 Views 0 comment Print

No doubt in a normal situation, so far as matters capable of two views being taken will be outside the ambit of section 154. However, right now, we are dealing with interpretation of section 10(10C) and so far as this interpretation is concerned, law laid down by Hon’ble Calcutta High Court is that an interpretation in favour of the assessee is to be adopted.

Addition justified if Income as Per Return in less than income as per TDS Certificates

November 7, 2012 1475 Views 0 comment Print

Appellant had sought higher deduction of tax at source by annexing TDS certificates and not reflecting the income as shown in the TDS certificates in its return of income. The Tribunal on consideration of all facts had come to the conclusion that remanding the matter to the Assessing Officer would not serve any purpose, as the appellant had consciously claimed credit of tax deduction on the basis of the TDS certificates and even enclosed the same along with the return of income, but failed to show it, as a part of the income.

Jurisdiction u/s. 263 cannot be invoked if Order is erroneous but not prejudicial to interest of revenue

November 7, 2012 1363 Views 0 comment Print

Though the order of the AO was erroneous, the same was not prejudicial to the interest of the revenue as no part of the capital gain became taxable because of loss of exemption u/s.11(1A) of the Act. Since the order sought to be revised u/s.263 of the Act was erroneous but not prejudicial to the interest of the revenue, jurisdiction u/s.263 could not have been invoked by the CIT. We hold accordingly and quash the order u/s.263 of the Act. The appeal of the Assessee is allowed with the above directions and computation.

Addition u/s 68 for no effort by Dept. to verify identity & creditworthiness of creditors not justified

November 7, 2012 2115 Views 0 comment Print

AO and the CIT(A) did not make any effort to verify the confirmations, identity and creditworthiness of the creditors in question and they also ignored the fact that the transaction of cash credits received and its repayment were made through bank and we also hold that the authorities below did not bring any incriminating material or evidence against the assessee trust to establish that the amount shown in the balance sheet as cash credits amounting to Rs.1,70,000 actually belonged or was owned by the assessee trust itself.

Highest bidder do not get a vested right in property sold during auction by Income Tax Department

November 7, 2012 1947 Views 0 comment Print

The proclamation of sale and holding a public auction are only the initial steps towards sale of immovable property of a tax defaulter to recover such amount through sale of his properties. The highest bidder, whose offer is accepted, during such public auction, has the responsibility to deposit 25 per cent of the purchase money on spot, failing which, the acceptance of offer stands revoked.

November 7, 2012 2147 Views 0 comment Print

Sub-rule (3) of rule 18DA itself provides the consequence of violation of sub-rule (2). As per sub-rule (3), if at any stage it is found that any provisions of the Act or the rules have been violated, the prescribed authority specified may withdraw the approval so granted. Therefore, if there is a violation of sub-rule (2), the prescribed authority has to take action against the assessee by withdrawing the approval.
