Rs. 99.86 Cr out of Rs. 110 Cr added as current liabilities was deleted by CIT(A) and upheld by ITAT. Verification of ledgers, statutory dues, and party confirmations showed actual liability reduction during the year. This highlights the role of detailed evidence in defending balance sheet claims.

The Tribunal held that once sales are accepted and basic supporting documents exist, only the profit element in alleged bogus purchases can be taxed. It upheld a 6% GP addition and rejected the Revenue’s demand for 100% disallowance.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal against disallowance of cash payments in a film production and real estate business. Since the assessee voluntarily offered 20% initially and later 80% of cash expenses as income, the additions were valid. The ruling emphasizes that self-conceded income cannot be contested in later appeals.
Transportation and sub-contract expenses were disallowed as the supporting MOU predated the JV formation. The court upheld the Assessing Officer’s disallowance, noting no contractual or statutory basis for the claim. This highlights the importance of valid agreements for claiming business deductions.
The Tribunal held that suspicion or reference to unconnected investigations cannot justify denying legitimate interest expenditure. It reiterated that opening balances accepted in earlier years cannot be treated as non-genuine in a subsequent year without contrary evidence.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)’s findings after noting the assessee produced no evidence to counter verified disallowances. Key takeaway: appellate relief requires substantiated rebuttal of factual verification.
