Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal, finding the Assessing Officer's addition of Rs. 9 lakhs unwarranted. The tribunal determined that the amount received by the assessee as a loan against fixed deposit cannot be considered business income. Since the assessee had already declared income under the Income Tax Declaration Scheme for AY 2013-14 and opted for taxation under Section 44AD, the addition was unjustified. The tribunal set aside the lower appellate authority's order and directed deletion of the disputed addition.
