Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The case involved a dispute over the refund of a cash security deposit u/s 27 of the Customs Act, 1962. The Appellate Tribunal held that the rejection of the refund on the grounds of time limitation u/s 27 was incorrect. The deposit was made as security for provisional assessment by the Special Valuation Branch (SVB). Once the SVB accepted the declared value, the security became refundable. Rule 18(2) states that any excess amount paid by the appellant should be refunded upon finalization of assessment within three months u/s 18(4). Section 18(5) is independent of Section 27. The impugned order wrongly applied the limitation u/s 27, whereas the refund should have been processed u/s 18(4). The appeal was allowed.
