CIT v. M.K. Brothers

163 ITR 249High Court1987#318 most cited

What is CIT v. M.K. Brothers authority for?

Mere non-production of a party or their denial of a transaction is insufficient to treat a payment as non-genuine if it is duly recorded in books and made through banking channels. Once the assessee furnishes relevant documentation, the burden shifts to the Assessing Officer to prove the transaction is not genuine.
