Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Undisclosed receipts were added to gross profit by the AO, but the assessee claimed corresponding expenditure. CIT(A) deleted the addition, terming it double assessment. The department did not rebut that the addition was double assessment or deny the corresponding expenditure. ITAT held that the AO could not brush aside the assessee's claim of corresponding expenditure, which was duly considered by CIT(A). The department's grounds did not dispute the correctness of the expenditure items. The addition was rejected accordingly.
