Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT rejected the Revenue's appeal and held that the penalty u/s 271G was not exigible. The ITAT relied on the Bombay High Court's decision in Undercarriage and Tractor Parts (P.) Ltd. Vs. Dispute Resolution Panel, wherein the High Court had quashed the assessment order passed u/s 143(3) read with section 144C(13). The ITAT observed that the CIT(A) had failed to consider this High Court decision while allowing the assessee's penalty appeal. Since the Revenue did not bring any contrary decision of a Higher Forum, the ITAT held that the impugned penalty was not leviable and dismissed the Revenue's appeal.
