ITAT Deletes Tax Additions Over Alleged Cash Transactions in Two Separate Cases
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently ruled in two separate cases involving alleged unexplained cash transactions. In Mumbai, the ITAT deleted tax additions of Rs 20-25 lakh related to alleged cash payments for flats, citing the taxpayer's lack of access to statements and opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. Separately, the ITAT deleted a Rs 2.33 crore tax addition against Bhupendra Flour Mills, accepting the company's explanation that the cash deposit during demonetisation was linked to earlier withdrawals. Both rulings emphasize the need for clear evidence and procedural fairness in tax assessments.
