ITAT Grants Relief in Cases of Omitted Income and Address-Related Notice Delays
Two Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) rulings provided relief to taxpayers who faced penalties or additions due to omitted or undisclosed income. In Mumbai, a taxpayer who omitted ₹38.37 lakh in deposits but disclosed and paid tax later had a ₹23.94 lakh penalty cancelled, as the tribunal found mere misreporting insufficient for penalty. In Delhi, a taxpayer who missed reassessment notices sent to his old address received relief after a 2,073-day delay was condoned and an ₹11 lakh addition was deleted, with the tribunal acknowledging relocation and health issues.
