Mumbai ITAT Deletes Rs 1.93 Crore Tax Addition on Penny Stock Gain
A Mumbai investor's Rs 70,000 investment in Toyam Industries shares grew to a long-term capital gain of Rs 1.93 crore. The Income Tax Department treated this gain as bogus, alleging price manipulation and treating it as unexplained income. However, the Mumbai Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) ruled in September 2026 that the taxpayer provided sufficient transaction evidence, and the department failed to link him to any manipulation. The ITAT deleted the tax addition, emphasizing the lack of specific evidence against the individual despite the stock's investigation.
