Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, MUMBAI BENCHES, ‘C’ MUMBAI
Before: Shri Joginder Singh, & Shri Rajesh Kumar
आदेश / O R D E R Per Joginder Singh (Judicial Member) The assessee is aggrieved by the impugned order dated 21/10/2013 of the Ld. First Appellate Authority, Mumbai. The assessee has filed concise grounds, wherein, broadly two grounds have been raised.
During hearing, the ld. counsel for the assessee, Shri Satish Mody, did not press ground no.2 with respect to disallowing a sum of Rs.1,67,79,848/- as per section 14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter the Act) r.w.r. 8D of the Rules. The ld. DR, Shri Rajat Mittal, had no objection to the request of the ld. counsel for the assessee. Considering the request of the assessee, ground no.2 is dismissed as not pressed.
So far as, confirming the stand of the Assessing Officer assessing the short term capital gain of Rs.2,59,27,004/- as business income is concerned, it was contended that while assessing the said income under head business income, the ld. Assessing Officer could not provide the consequent benefit valuing the stock in trade at market value at the end of the year and also the benefit of security transaction tax. It was pleaded that the ld. Assessing Officer may be directed to grant consequential benefit to the assessee. The ld. DR though defended the addition made by the ld. Assessing Officer but had no objection if the matter may be relooked on merit.
