Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT addressed multiple taxation issues involving unexplained income and profit calculations. The tribunal found that when entire contract receipts were treated as unexplained, no further profit addition was justified. The CIT(A)'s order was set aside due to procedural irregularities in admitting additional evidence without providing the AO an opportunity to examine such evidence, as mandated under Rule 46A(3) of IT Rules. The tribunal upheld the 10% profit rate calculation, noting it was more reasonable than the AO's unsubstantiated 20% rate. The matter was remanded to the first appellate authority for reconsideration, ensuring procedural compliance and fair assessment of the taxpayer's income.
