of <h1>Tax Assessment Overturned: ITAT Deems Additions for Cash Loan Repayment & Property Income Invalid Due to Document Oversight.</h1> <h3>Sagarmal Sohanlal Jain Versus ITO Ward 3 (4), Mumbai</h3> Sagarmal Sohanlal Jain Versus ITO Ward 3 (4), Mumbai - TMI Issues involved:1. Addition under Section 69D of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for loan repayment in cash.2. Addition of income from house property due to revised return filing.Analysis:Issue 1: Addition under Section 69D for loan repayment in cashThe appellant, an individual proprietor, filed an appeal against the order passed by the CIT (A) confirming the addition of loan repayment made in cash to two individuals. The Assessing Officer applied Section 69D of the Act, deeming the amount as the appellant's income. However, the ITAT found that the loans were taken in earlier years, and the repayments were made to the appellant's wife and daughter, not through Hundi borrowings. The ITAT observed that the CIT (A) did not consider the physical documents and submissions presented, rendering the confirmation of the addition unsustainable. The ITAT directed the deletion of the addition of &8377;12,04,971 under Section 69D.Issue 2: Addition of income from house property due to revised return filingThe second issue pertained to the addition of &8377;1,12,000 in the revised return filed by the appellant, which was already offered as income. The Assessing Officer, however, added this amount again, disregarding the revised return. The ITAT held that the revised return should be accepted for computing taxable income, leading to the deletion of the &8377;1,12,000 addition. Consequently, both additions were directed to be deleted, and the appeal of the assessee was allowed, reversing the orders of the lower authorities.In conclusion, the ITAT ruled in favor of the appellant, allowing the appeal and directing the deletion of both additions made by the Assessing Officer, emphasizing the importance of considering all relevant documents and submissions in tax assessments.
