ACIT, NEW DELHI vs. SMT USHA GUPTA, NEW DELHI
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that the AO cannot substitute the apparent consideration in sale deeds with his calculated market value without any corroborative material. The onus was on the Revenue to prove that the actual consideration exceeded that disclosed in the sale deeds, which was not discharged.
What were the facts?
Following a search operation, the Assessing Officer (AO) made additions to the assessees' income based on the difference between the sale/purchase consideration recorded in sale deeds and the fair market value (FMV) he calculated. The CIT(A) deleted these additions, leading to appeals by the Revenue.
What were the issues?
Whether the AO can make additions based on a calculated fair market value of property exceeding the registered sale deed value without any evidence of understatement of consideration. Whether completed assessments can be disturbed without incriminating material found during search.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
Section 69,Section 69B,Section 45,Section 48,Section 50C,Section 56(2)(vi)/(vii)
