of <h1>Tribunal decision on rental income and expenses: Appeal allowed partially, expenses reduced.</h1> <h3>Sunita Sanjay Kedia Versus ITO, Ward-4 (3), Gurgaon.</h3> Sunita Sanjay Kedia Versus ITO, Ward-4 (3), Gurgaon. - TMI Issues involved:1. Addition of deemed rental income from a vacant property2. Disallowance of expenses and restriction of disallowance amountIssue 1: Addition of deemed rental income from a vacant propertyThe case involved the assessee, an individual deriving income from garments business, who owned two house properties. The Assessing Officer made an addition of Rs. 1,99,609 as deemed rental income from a vacant property based on the NAV of the property for the current year. The CIT(A) upheld this addition, stating that the Assessing Officer was justified in adding the net annual value based on the last year's rental value. The assessee challenged this before the Tribunal, arguing that the property was not let out due to non-availability of a suitable tenant, and thus, the provisions of section 23(1)(c) should apply. The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not consider section 23(1)(c) and directed the issue to be reconsidered in light of this provision and relevant decisions cited. The Tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes.Issue 2: Disallowance of expenses and restriction of disallowance amountThe Assessing Officer disallowed certain expenses debited in the Profit & Loss Account, suspecting them to be personal in nature, and made an addition of Rs. 4 lakhs to the total income of the assessee. The CIT(A) partially allowed the appeal by restricting the disallowance to Rs. 3,00,000 after considering certain expenses as not personal in nature. The assessee appealed this decision before the Tribunal, arguing that the disallowance was on the higher side. The Tribunal agreed and restricted the disallowance to Rs. 2.5 lakhs. Consequently, the appeal filed by the assessee was partly allowed for statistical purposes.In conclusion, the Tribunal addressed the issues of addition of deemed rental income from a vacant property and the disallowance of expenses in a detailed manner, ensuring that the provisions of the Income Tax Act were correctly applied and relevant decisions were considered. The Tribunal's decision provided clarity on the application of the law in these specific circumstances, resulting in a partial allowance of the appeal for statistical purposes.
