Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax rightly invoked revision u/s 263 against the assessment order. Despite being afforded multiple opportunities, the assessee failed to provide supporting documents to substantiate its claim for exemption u/ss 10(23C)(iiiab) and 10(23C)(iiiac) for a substantial sum. The Assessing Officer, despite noting the lack of proof, did not make any disallowance regarding the exemption claim in the assessment order. This rendered the order erroneous and prejudicial to the Revenue's interests, justifying its revision. Consequently, the assessee's appeal was dismissed by the Appellate Tribunal.
