Taxpayers Win ITAT Cases Over Large Cash Gifts and Ancestral Jewellery Notices
Two taxpayers, Mr. Amirtharaj from Chennai and Mrs. Parikh from Mumbai, received income tax notices over large asset declarations. Amirtharaj deposited Rs 85.03 lakh in cash gifts from relatives, which he supported with gift deeds and financial documents, leading to a favorable ruling by ITAT Chennai. Mrs. Parikh declared Rs 67 lakh ancestral jewellery in her income tax return, triggering an unexplained credit notice, but she successfully defended her claim at ITAT Mumbai by proving the jewellery's ancestral origin. Both cases highlight tax scrutiny on significant asset disclosures and the importance of documentation.
