ITAT Cases Highlight Tax Disputes Over Income Reporting and Agricultural Land
Two distinct tax cases highlight challenges in Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) proceedings. In one, a Haryana man faced an 11.22 crore income addition linked to unexplained demonetisation-era deposits, with the tribunal offering a unique condition to contest the case. In another, Pravesh Aggarwal, who missed filing his ITR after a job switch due to delayed Form 16, successfully challenged a 3.74 lakh penalty, as his income and TDS were fully reported. Additionally, the tax treatment of agricultural income and ancestral land ownership remains nuanced, with exemptions applying under specific conditions.
