Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT rejected revenue's appeal, affirming CIT(A)'s findings across multiple grounds. The tribunal dismissed revenue's challenges regarding income estimation, book of accounts rejection, and profit rate determination. Key holdings included: (1) When books are rejected and net profit estimated, no further additions can be made from the same rejected books, (2) Only real income should be taxed, not notional income, (3) Differences in form 26AS and book entries were adequately explained, and (4) The profit rate of 0.11% was consistent with coordinated bench precedent. The tribunal found no merit in revenue's grounds and dismissed all appeals, maintaining the lower appellate authority's favorable findings for the assessee.
