ITAT Upholds Taxpayer Claims in Cases of Cash Seizure, Property Sale, and Share Gains
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently ruled in favor of taxpayers in three separate cases involving disputed income claims. In Mumbai, ITAT accepted a taxpayer's explanation that Rs 16 lakh cash seized in a raid belonged to various family members, recognizing cultural savings and gifts. In Kolkata, a wife successfully challenged an income tax notice after proving her husband solely paid for a jointly sold property priced below market value. Additionally, Mumbai ITAT upheld a taxpayer's claim of Rs 85 lakh long-term capital gains from shares, rejecting allegations of unexplained income or price manipulation by the tax department.
