Appeal allowed for carrying forward losses denied in original return for assessment year 2008-09
The appeal was filed against the denial of carrying forward short term capital loss and speculation loss for the assessment year 2008-09. The Assessing Officer initially denied the carry forward losses as they were not claimed in the original return. However, the ITAT directed the AO to reconsider the claim, emphasizing that the CIT(A) should have considered the issue on merit. The ITAT allowed the appeal in part for statistical purposes, noting that the charging of interest was consequential and did not require separate adjudication.
Issues: 1. Denial of benefit of carry forward of short term capital loss 2. Denial of carry forward of speculation loss
Analysis: 1. The appeal was filed against the order of CIT(A)-9, Mumbai for the assessment year 2008-09. Grounds 1A & 1B were dismissed as not pressed. Grounds 1C & 1D related to the denial of carrying forward short term capital loss and speculation loss. The Assessing Officer (AO) denied the carry forward losses as they were not claimed in the original return, citing the decision of Goetz (India) Ltd. Vs. CIT. The CIT(A) upheld the AO's decision.
2. Upon review, it was found that the matter needed to be reconsidered by the AO on merit. Referring to the Goetz (India) Ltd. case, it was highlighted that while a revised return is necessary for the AO to allow a claim, the appellate authority can entertain such claims. In this case, although the loss claim was not in the original return, a letter was submitted during assessment proceedings. The ITAT directed the AO to reconsider the claim of loss on carry forward under short term capital loss and speculation loss, emphasizing that the CIT(A) should have considered the issue on merit.
3. The ITAT noted that charging of interest was consequential and did not require separate adjudication. Consequently, the appeal of the assessee was allowed in part for statistical purposes. The order was pronounced in an open court on July 10, 2013.
