Assessee's appeal allowed after deletion of rent income addition based on actual receipts versus agreed rent
ITAT Chennai allowed the assessee's appeal, deleting the addition made by AO regarding rent income difference. The tribunal found that AO erroneously considered agreed rent per agreement instead of actual rent received of Rs. 3,74,879 from tenant company, with corresponding TDS of Rs. 37,492 as reflected in Form 26AS. The assessee had raised proper bills and paid CGST/SGST at 9% each on monthly rent received from July 2017 to March 2018, supporting actual receipt. CIT(A)'s confirmation of the addition was overturned as unjustified.
Issues: Delay in filing appeals, Addition of rental receipts, Penalty under section 270A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Delay in Filing Appeals: The appellant filed appeals with a delay of 3 days, seeking condonation of the delay. The tribunal, after considering the reasons provided by the appellant and finding them to be genuine, condoned the delay. Both parties consented to hear and decide the appeals together due to similar issues raised.
Addition of Rental Receipts: The appellant, an HUF deriving income from house property, challenged the addition made by the Assessing Officer on rental receipts. The tribunal noted discrepancies in the rental income details provided by the appellant and the actual amounts received. The tribunal found that the rental income difference was paid in subsequent assessment years and offered for taxation. The tribunal, after examining evidence and submissions, concluded that the additions made by the Assessing Officer were not justified. Therefore, the additions were deleted.
Penalty under Section 270A: The Assessing Officer initiated penalty proceedings under section 270A for misreporting of income. However, since the tribunal had deleted the quantum additions made by the Assessing Officer, it was observed that the appellant had correctly reported its income for taxation. Consequently, the penalty levied under section 270A was deemed infructuous and dismissed.
In conclusion, both appeals filed by the appellant were allowed by the tribunal, with the order pronounced on 29th November 2024 at Chennai.
