https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=65728 The Appellate Tribunal ITAT GAUHATI ruled in appeals against penalties imposed under section 18(1)(c) of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957. The case involved the non-disclosure of a house property purchased by the assessee's wife using funds provided by the assessee. The Tribunal found that as the property was not directly or indirectly transferred by the assessee, penalties for concealment were unjustified. It emphasized that the disputed nature of the asset negated any concealment, and the amended law from April 1, 1968, did not support penalties without clear evidence of concealment or inaccurate particulars. The penalties were ultimately canceled, highlighting the significance of accurate asset disclosure and proof of concealment for penalty imposition. en-us Sat, 30 Jun 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 14:56:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=65728 The Appellate Tribunal ITAT GAUHATI ruled in appeals against penalties imposed under section 18(1)(c) of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957.
