Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT upheld the assessee's conversion of an asset from inventory to investment, rejecting the Revenue's contention that profits arising on its subsequent sale should be treated as business income rather than capital gains. The tribunal relied on precedent confirming the validity of such conversion, noting the Revenue did not dispute the reclassification in the relevant year. Consequently, the capital gains treatment on sale in the later assessment year was affirmed. Additionally, the tribunal disallowed the Revenue's invocation of the prior period expenditure adjustment against the sale proceeds, as this principle does not apply once the asset is classified as a capital asset. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed in its entirety.
