Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT upheld the disallowance of deduction u/s 35(1)(ii) for donations related to scientific research due to raised donations based on forged documents. The Trust receiving donations was found ineligible as its approval had expired in 2006. The expenditure was disallowed as unexplained u/s 69C. The CIT(A) affirmed the disallowance as the appellant's claim was based on erroneous grounds. The appeal was dismissed, supporting the decision to disallow the deduction and highlighting the lack of eligibility of the entity for scientific research donations.
