FAZLE RAOOF SHEIKH,BHILWARA vs. DCIT, AJMER
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeals. For AY 2016-17 and 2017-18, additions on account of Hawala commission income were set aside due to lack of incriminating material for those specific years. The addition of Rs. 4 crores for AY 2018-19, made on a protective basis, was also allowed.
What were the facts?
The assessee's appeals were filed against CIT(A) orders which upheld assessment orders for AY 2016-17 to 2018-19. The assessments were framed under Section 144 r.w.s. 153A, involving additions for commission income from Hawala business and unexplained cash.
What were the issues?
Whether additions for Hawala commission income for AY 2016-17 and 2017-18 are sustainable without specific incriminating material for those years. Whether a protective addition of Rs. 4 crores made under Section 69A can be sustained when a substantive addition was made in another assessee's case.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
