Tribunal rules in favor of assessee, deems IT Act provision inapplicable, directs deletion of deemed dividend
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, finding that the provisions of section 2(22)(e) of the IT Act were not applicable to the case, directing the deletion of the addition of deemed dividend. Additionally, the Tribunal held that for assets in a block, individual asset use was not necessary, and directed the Assessing Officer to delete the disallowance of depreciation on the vehicle and telephone instruments. As a result, the appeal by the assessee was allowed, overturning the CIT(A)'s decisions on both issues.
Issues: 1. Addition of deemed dividend u/s 2(22)(e) of the IT Act. 2. Disallowance of depreciation on vehicle.
Issue 1: Addition of Deemed Dividend: The case involved the assessee, an individual and proprietor of a company, receiving advances from a company in which he was a major shareholder. The Assessing Officer invoked section 2(22)(e) of the IT Act, adding the advance amount to the assessee's income. The CIT(A) upheld the addition, noting the appellant's shareholding and the credit balance from the company. The appellant argued that the advances were for business exigencies and bank facilities, presenting account details. The Tribunal found that the assessee maintained three accounts with the company and had given advances, not received them. Citing precedents, the Tribunal held that the provisions of section 2(22)(e) were not applicable, directing deletion of the addition.
Issue 2: Disallowance of Depreciation on Vehicle: The Assessing Officer disallowed depreciation on the vehicle and telephone instruments, as no corresponding business expenditure was recorded. The CIT(A) sustained the disallowance. The assessee contended that as the assets were part of the block of assets, individual asset use was not necessary. Citing case law, the Tribunal agreed, stating that for assets in a block, use of the block sufficed, not individual assets. Relying on legal precedents, the Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to delete the disallowance. Consequently, the appeal by the assessee was allowed, setting aside the CIT(A)'s orders on both issues.
