ITAT grants relief to assessee in appeal cases, ensuring fair process and remanding penalty issue for re-examination.
The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeals in ITA No.763/PUN/2017 and ITA No.764/PUN/2017 for statistical purposes. In ITA No.763/PUN/2017, the ITAT set aside the CIT(A) order regarding bogus purchases addition and remanded the matter to the Assessing Officer for calculating excess gross profit rate from bogus purchases. In ITA No.764/PUN/2017, the ITAT directed the penalty issue to be re-examined by the Assessing Officer in conjunction with the quantum matter. Both appeals were allowed, ensuring a fair hearing and due process for the assessee.
Issues: 1. Bogus purchases addition in ITA No.763/PUN/2017 for A.Y. 2010-11. 2. Penalty u/s.271(1)(c) in ITA No.764/PUN/2017 for A.Y. 2010-11.
ITA No.763/PUN/2017 - Bogus Purchases Addition: The appeal arose from the Ld. CIT(Appeals) confirming the addition of Rs. 46,33,142 as bogus purchases made by the assessee, a manufacturer of auto components. The Assessing Officer had treated purchases from a specific entity as bogus. During the hearing, the Ld. DR highlighted the importance of determining the difference in gross profit rate between genuine and bogus purchases for making additions to the income. Citing a judgment of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, it was emphasized that ad-hoc additions were not warranted. The ITAT, following the High Court's guidance, set aside the CIT(A) order and remanded the matter to the Assessing Officer for calculating the excess gross profit rate from bogus purchases and making additions accordingly, ensuring a fair hearing for the assessee. The appeal in ITA No.763/PUN/2017 was allowed for statistical purposes.
ITA No.764/PUN/2017 - Penalty u/s.271(1)(c): The key issue in this appeal was the imposition of penalty u/s.271(1)(c) by the Assessing Officer and upheld by the Ld. CIT(A). As the quantum addition regarding bogus purchases was remitted back for reassessment, the Ld. DR proposed that the penalty issue should also be reconsidered by the Assessing Officer for consistency and fairness. Consequently, the ITAT set aside the CIT(A) order on the penalty issue and directed the matter to be re-examined by the Assessing Officer in conjunction with the quantum matter, ensuring due process for the assessee. The appeal in ITA No.764/PUN/2017 was allowed for statistical purposes.
In the combined result, both appeals of the assessee in ITA No.763/PUN/2017 & ITA No.764/PUN/2017 were allowed for statistical purposes, with the ITAT issuing the order on June 22, 2020.
