Let us examine two latest Judgements decided by The High Court of Judicature at Bombay dated 22nd January 2020 and 29th January 2020 involving facts where assessing officers invoked section 68 of the Income Tax Act 1961 while making additions to the returned income. What is section 68 of the Income Tax Act 1961 and […]
The issue under consideration is whether the addition u/s 68 is justified in case of issuance of shares in exchange of shares?
Assesssee did not furnish PAN and Bank statements or any of the directors of investor companies merely showing that transactions were carried out through banking channel was not sufficient to prove genuineness of transaction in the matter. When investors having nil income had deposited cash in their bank account immediately before giving cheque to assessee. The same were bogus entries received by assessee in the name of sale of shares and addition was rightly made by AO under section 68.
Since both the nature & source of the share application received was fully explained by assessee thus, assessee had discharged its onus to prove the identity, creditworthiness and genuineness of the share applicants and addition made by AO u/s 68 was based on conjectures and surmises which could not be justified.
The Income Tax Returns for the Assessment Year 2017-18 were selected for scrutiny via e-proceedings for those Assessees, who have deposited more than Rs. 2 Lakhs in cash in Banks after 8th November 2016, being the date on which Demonetization was announced by our honourable Prime Minister of India. Cash Books, Sales Invoices, Copies of […]
Even if the purchases made from the parties in question are to be treated as bogus, it does not necessarily mean that entire amount should be disallowed and that no benefit should be given to the Respondent-Assessee.
The ITAT Ahmedabad has harped upon the mechanical practices adopted by the Assessing Officers to make addition u/s 68. The moot point is that a sale which already forms part of books of account cannot be added again u/s 68 due to the reasons that Sales are already recorded in the books of accounts and the addition of the same amounts to double taxation. A prejudiced view on sale cannot be drawn when purchases are accepted without any reservation. Section 68 connotate amount credits in books of account remained unexplained need to be added. Recorded sales are not unexplained cash credits.
Sudha Eashwar Vs ITO (ITAT Chennai) The assesse is claiming exemption by way of long term capital gains claimed by it to be earned on sale and purchase of Turbotech Engineering Ltd. by invoking provisions of Section 10(38) of the 1961 Act and onus is on the assessee to prove that these gains are genuine […]
Addition under section 68 on account of high premium was unjustified as there was a clear lack of inquiry on the part of AO once assessee had furnished all the relevant material.
Hemant M Mehta HUF Vs A.C.I.T. (ITAT Mumbai) In case of bogus purchases where sales are accepted, the addition is required to be made only to the extent of difference between the GP declared by the assessee on normal purchases vis a vis bogus purchases. Respectfully following the order of the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court […]
