Delhi Taxpayers Win ITAT Cases Over Unexplained Cash Deposits Post-Demonetisation
Two recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Delhi rulings provided relief to taxpayers facing unexplained cash notices post-demonetisation. Rakesh Kumar, a Delhi pharmaceutical retailer, successfully proved that Rs 2.47 crore deposited across three bank accounts was from legitimate business sales, supported by audited accounts and VAT returns. In a separate case, Mr. Gupta justified Rs 1.12 crore cash and Rs 4.34 lakh foreign currency found during a tax raid, with the foreign currency confirmed as belonging to his sister-in-law. Both cases highlight the importance of documentary evidence in tax disputes.
