Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT partially allowed the appeal, modifying the Assessing Officer's (AO) income estimation. The tribunal found the AO justified in rejecting books of accounts due to non-production of bills and vouchers. Instead of the AO's 2% net profit rate, the tribunal applied a 0.75% rate on gross turnover, considering the previous year's 1.07% rate. The net addition was reduced from Rs. 1,65,09,996/- to Rs. 43,29,907/-. The AO was directed to recompute the income accordingly, with the assessee's appeal being partly allowed.
