Raghavan Nair v. ACIT
402 ITR 400High Court2018#5598 most cited
What is Raghavan Nair v. ACIT authority for?
An Assessing Officer is not precluded from considering an assessee's contention that capital gains disclosed in the return are not exigible to tax, even in the absence of a revised return, because tax cannot be collected except by the authority of law. If capital gains are wrongly offered, no tax should be levied.
