Section 54/54F deduction allowed by ITAT Bangalore despite incomplete documents, as substantive investment in house construction was proven through JDA, sample bills, and bank records-technical lapses cannot defeat genuine exemption claims.
The Tribunal held that exclusion of time for transfer of seized material applies only within the running limitation period. As the assessment was passed beyond the recalculated deadline, it was quashed as barred by limitation.
ITAT clarified that a statement recorded during search does not automatically become incriminating material. Without supporting documentary evidence, additions under Section 69A cannot survive.
