Tribunal upholds disallowance of non-genuine purchases for assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11
The Tribunal dismissed the assessee's appeals, upholding the disallowance of non-genuine purchases for assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The Tribunal found the assessee failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the genuineness of the purchases, leading to a 12.5% disallowance. Additionally, the Tribunal affirmed the validity of the notice issued under section 148 of the Act, stating the Assessing Officer had tangible material indicating non-genuine purchases. The decision was rendered on 18th January 2021.
Issues: 1. Disallowance on account of non-genuine purchases for assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11. 2. Validity of notice issued under section 148 of the Act.
Analysis: 1. The appeals by the assessee pertain to disallowance made on account of non-genuine purchases for the assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The Assessing Officer reopened the assessments under section 147 of the Act based on information received from the Sales Tax department identifying the purchases as non-genuine. The assessee failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the genuineness of the purchases, leading to a disallowance of 12.5% of the alleged non-genuine purchases. Despite contesting the disallowances before the Commissioner (Appeals), they were sustained. The Tribunal found that the assessee could not link the purchases with corresponding sales and did not produce books of accounts for verification. The Tribunal upheld the decision of the Commissioner (Appeals) on the issue of disallowance, stating that the assessee failed to prove the genuineness of the purchases.
2. Regarding the validity of the notice issued under section 148 of the Act, it was found that the Assessing Officer had tangible material available from the Sales Tax department indicating non-genuine purchases by the assessee. As the returns were not previously scrutinized but only processed under section 143(1) of the Act, the Tribunal concluded that there was sufficient basis for the Assessing Officer to reopen the assessments under section 147 of the Act. Therefore, the Tribunal dismissed the grounds challenging the validity of the notice issued under section 148 of the Act.
In conclusion, the appeals filed by the assessee were dismissed by the Tribunal, upholding the disallowance on account of non-genuine purchases and affirming the validity of the notice issued under section 148 of the Act. The decision was pronounced on 18th January 2021.
