Facts
The assessee, engaged in share broking, made annual purchases of gold coins for business promotion and staff welfare, which were debited as expenses. Reassessment proceedings were initiated based on information from a survey at the seller's premises, alleging accommodation entries. The seller's proprietor later retracted their statement, and Tribunal orders accepted the retraction in the seller's case.
Held
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of gold coin purchases was unsustainable as the transactions were genuine, supported by evidence, and accepted in the seller's own case by prior Tribunal orders. Furthermore, the addition of dividend income for AY 2016-17 was deleted as it was exempt under Section 10(34) and had been erroneously included in the computation sheet.
Key Issues
Validity of reassessment proceedings under Section 147 based on retracted statement and genuineness of gold coin purchases; correct taxation of exempt dividend income.
