CIT v. Nikunj Exim Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.
What is CIT v. Nikunj Exim Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. authority for?
The non-appearance or non-confirmation by a third party in response to an Assessing Officer's notice is not, by itself, sufficient to hold a transaction as non-genuine if the assessee has discharged its initial onus of proving genuineness. The failure of a third party to appear before the Assessing Officer to confirm a transaction cannot, by itself, lead to an adverse inference against the assessee.
judgments rely on this decision, according to BharatTax’s citation analysis of 292,668 Indian tax judgments — from 2015 to 2026.
