Tribunal rules that Section 54 deduction applies to property purchased outside India before the 2015 amendment, overturning CIT(A) decision.
The tribunal ruled that funds donated to certain political parties were routed back to the donor, lacking genuineness. Deductions under Section 80GGC were disallowed as a result.
Tribunal ruled Section 54F exemption is not available when the assessee owns multiple independent residential units, each with a separate kitchen. Deduction on the JDA property was disallowed.
The Tribunal held that AO’s ad-hoc disallowances were unsustainable as he failed to verify evidence. CIT(A) examined detailed ledgers and explanations, deleting unsupported additions. The appeal highlights the importance of evidence-based assessments over arbitrary estimates.
The Tribunal found that the AO failed to establish any bogus purchase or sale since the assessee never handled the goods and only received net surplus. Identical findings in earlier years compelled the ITAT to delete the same addition again. The takeaway is that established business patterns cannot be arbitrarily recharacterized as accommodation entries.
ITAT Raipur ruled that cash deposits made by an advocate on behalf of clients cannot be treated as unexplained money under Section 69A. The AO and CIT(A)/NFAC conducted no inquiry and ignored over 100 supporting challans. This reinforces the principle that evidence and factual verification are essential before making additions.
ITAT held that cash sales forming part of disclosed turnover cannot be taxed again as unexplained cash credits. The ruling confirms that Section 68 does not apply when books are intact and evidence supports the sales.
ITAT Agra restored AO’s 145(3) rejection and additions under sections 68 & 41(1) for re-verification, directing assessee to produce complete books and supporting documents. The matter requires factual verification to ensure substantial justice.
ITAT Pune deletes Rs.17.90L addition u/s 68 as LLP proved genuineness, identity & repayment of unsecured loans; appeal allowed in full.
Additions based on decoded entries from a third-party cash book were struck down, as they did not align with the assessee’s audited books or bank statements, reinforcing the ‘dumb document’ principle.
