The ITAT found the assessee was not required to maintain books under Section 44AA. The recall led to cancellation of the Section 271AAB penalty for commodities trading income.
ITAT Jaipur clarified that penalty under section 271AAB is not mandatory and requires proper examination of evidence and explanation by the assessee before imposition. Mere surrender of income does not constitute undisclosed income.
Tribunal holds that surrendered LTCG cannot be treated as undisclosed income when fully recorded in books and supported by verifiable documents. Penalty under section 271AAB was therefore not leviable.
Section 44AA mandates maintenance of books of accounts by specified professionals and businesses exceeding prescribed limits. Learn who must maintain, which records are required, period of retention, and penalties for non-compliance.
Section 44AA mandates books for professionals and businesses exceeding income thresholds. Details presumptive tax rules, required records, retention period, and ₹25,000 penalty.
ITAT Delhi held that a Local Authority providing general public utility services is not required to maintain books under Section 44AA. The penalty under Section 271A for non-maintenance of books was deleted.
Form 3CD requires mandatory reporting on taxpayer identity, business status, accounting methods (ICDS), depreciation, inadmissible expenditures (Sec. 40A/14A), payment/receipt compliance (Sec. 269SS/T/ST), TDS/TCS, and GST expenditure break-up, ensuring comprehensive tax compliance verification under Section 44AB.
The ITAT Delhi allowed the appeal because the penalty under Section 271A for non-maintenance of books had already been deleted by the Tribunal, establishing that the authority was not legally obliged to keep books. The Tribunal concluded that if no books are required to be maintained under Section 44AA, no penalty for failure to audit them under Section 271B can legally survive.
ITAT Raipur held that addition upheld by CIT(A) without passing a speaking order in the backdrop of documents uploaded by the assessee. Accordingly, matter is restored back to the file of CIT(A) for re-adjudication.
Mumbai ITAT deleted Rs.8.43 Cr addition u/s68. Assessee proved lenders’ identity, PAN, and bank transfers. Suspicion over creditworthiness cannot replace evidence.
