VISHWANATH SINGH RATHODE,HOSHANGABAD vs. INCOME TAX OFFICER-1,, ITARSI
What did the Tribunal hold?
The ITAT held that the CIT(A) wrongly applied Section 249(4)(b) because the assessee, being an agriculturist with no taxable income, was not liable to pay advance tax. The tribunal relied on the decision in Vikas Hooda vs. ITO.
What were the facts?
The assessee had deposited cash of Rs. 13,27,000 in his bank account during demonetization, which was treated as unexplained cash by the Assessing Officer and assessed under section 144. The appeal was dismissed by the CIT(A) for failure to deposit the requisite tax under section 249(4)(b).
What were the issues?
Whether the appeal could be admitted under Section 249(4)(b) when the assessee had no taxable income and hence no advance tax was payable.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
