The Sections by which the assessees are suffering too much due to high pitched assessments passed by NFAC are from 68 to 69D and 115 BBE. Many orders are struck down by the High Courts through writs and majority of the orders are appealed against and are cancelled by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)/Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. The brief contents of the relevant sections are given below:
ITAT Mumbai held that addition towards section 68 of the Income Tax Act deleted as assessee discharged initial onus by proving identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of transaction. Accordingly, appeal allowed.
ITAT Mumbai held that disallowance of claim of exemption u/s. 10(38) on alleged bogus LTCG untenable since disallowance is based on general report of the investigation wing. Thus, addition u/s. 68 deleted due to lack of adequate evidence disallowance set aside.
ITAT Kolkata rules that no additions can be made in completed assessments under section 153A without incriminating material seized during the search.
In the abovementioned matter ITAT remanded the matter to AO after observing that assessee failed to apply under rule 46 A (Additional Evidence) of the IT Rules.
ITAT Kolkata held that CIT(A) rightly deleted addition under section 68 of the Income Tax Act since identity and creditworthiness of share purchased duly explained. Accordingly, appeal of revenue dismissed.
