Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT upheld deletion of the addition under section 68 relating to forfeiture of share application money, holding that forfeiture constitutes a capital receipt and cannot be taxed as the assessee's income; the AO may, however, reopen and assess suspicious shareholders individually. The ITAT and HC affirmed that interest received by the assessee arose from its business operations and is assessable as business income rather than under "Income from Other Sources," endorsing CIT(A)'s view. The appellate authority also sustained deletion of ad hoc disallowance of expenditure, finding the restriction of claimed expenses to an arbitrary Rs. 50,000 untenable. Overall, the AO's additions were directed to be deleted.
