ITAT Ahmedabad deleted the penalty under Section 270A(9) for an excess claim of deduction under Section 54F, ruling it was a computation error, not misreporting. The Tribunal held that since the assessee had fully disclosed all facts and the error didn’t involve fraud or suppression, the penalty couldn’t be sustained under the specific clauses of misreporting.
The ITAT Delhi confirmed the addition of Rs.25.35 lakh as unexplained investment for a house purchase under Section 69, ruling that the assessee failed to discharge the initial onus to prove the creditworthiness and genuineness of loans allegedly received from his mother and sister. The lenders lacked sufficient bank balances, and documentation was incomplete.
ITAT Delhi held that the ₹33.12 crore received by a co-founder to settle disputes and relinquish the right to sue for promised equity is a non-taxable capital receipt. The court ruled the payment wasn’t salary, business income, or capital gains, as the ‘right to sue’ isn’t a transferable capital asset.
