ITAT Rules on Tax Penalties, Income Additions, and Fixed Deposit Encashment Cases
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) issued rulings in multiple cases involving tax disputes. In Bangalore, ITAT canceled a ₹23.31 lakh penalty on a cooperative housing society that claimed a ₹37.82 lakh deduction under section 80P, ruling that a bona fide, debatable claim does not constitute misreporting. In Delhi, ITAT allowed a taxpayer to contest ₹1.55 crore in income additions after the appellate authority dismissed her appeal without merit examination. In Hyderabad, ITAT ruled that encashment of a fixed deposit cannot be taxed again as unexplained deposit if the amount was previously deposited and used to create the FD.
