ITAT Issues Rulings on Cash Deposits, Gifts, and Foreign Salary Taxation Cases
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently ruled on several cases involving large cash deposits and income declarations. In one case, a grain trader's Rs 5.2 crore deposit was initially deemed unexplained but was later accepted due to proper disclosure. Another ruling upheld genuine cash gifts of Rs 85.30 lakh from relatives after verifying documentation and donor confirmation. A retired principal's Rs 20.33 lakh deposits, claimed as hostel fees collected for an education society, were sent back for further verification. Additionally, foreign salary credited to an Indian NRE account was clarified as not automatically taxable in India, pending fresh assessment.
