DCIT, CENTRAL CIRCLE-2, MADURAI vs. J S NIHAR BANU, PALAKKAD
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that the assessment orders were time-barred as they were dispatched after the prescribed limitation period. Therefore, the assessment orders were quashed, and the grounds raised by the assessee regarding limitation were allowed.
What were the facts?
The Revenue filed appeals against the CIT(A)'s order deleting additions made under Section 40A(3). The assessees had made cash payments exceeding Rs. 20,000 to middlemen for copra purchases, which the AO disallowed. The CIT(A) had deleted these additions, finding the transactions covered by Rule 6DD(k).
What were the issues?
The primary issues were whether the assessment orders were made within the prescribed time limit and whether the cash payments for copra purchases were covered by the exceptions under Section 40A(3) read with Rule 6DD(k).
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
