....if they are not to be rendered wholly nugatory. 2. The power of enhancement has been a matter of judicial consideration. It has been settled by the various courts that the powers of enhancement are wide, but they are not unfettered. Ld CIT(A) can do enhancement of "assessment". So he can do enhancement only on points which were subject matter of assessment. 3. The appellant relies on the following cases: a. CIT v. Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry [1962] 44 ITR 891 (SC), wherein it was held that It was held inter alia that in an appeal filed by the assessee, the AAC has no power to enhance the assessment by discovering a new source of income not considered by the ITO in the order appealed against. b. CIT v. Rai Bahadur Hardutroy Motilal Chamaria [1967] 66 ITR 443 (SC) It was held that the power of enhancement under section 31(3) was restricted to the subject matter of assessment or the source of income, which had been considered expressly or by clear implication by the Assessing Officer from the point of view of taxability and that the AAC had no power to assess the source of income, which had not been taken into consideration by the Assessing Officer. c.

....xceeded his jurisdiction in making an enhancement in the given case. The addition is therefore unjustified and uncalled for. II. Deduction u/s. 80IB(11C) - on surrender during survey u/s. 133A A survey u/s. 133A was conducted at the business premises of the assessee firm. The surrender during survey was on account of unaccounted cash and investment in building. The very important fact as quoted by ld Assessing Officer is as under (at pg. 2 para 2): "2. The assessee firm is running Hospital & Research Center. The assessee has shown gross receipts to the tune of Rs. 2,55,89,106 as against Rs. 78,72,081 shown in the immediately preceding year. The disclosures of Rs. 10,00,000/- on account of investment in building and excess cash of Rs. 15,01,852 made during the course of survey proceedings u/s. 133A conducted on 21/08/2009 were duly offered for taxation in Profit and Loss account as "Income from Hospital"." Thus, the same was shown as income from hospital and same fact was not denied by the ld CIT(A). No other source from where the same could have been earned was pointed by the ld CIT(A). The appellant relies on CIT vs Allied Industries 229 CTR 462 (H.P.), where it ....

The same has been accepted by CBDT in its Circular no 37/2016 dated 02.11.2016 where the board has accepted the settled position that the disallowance made under section 32, 40(a)(ia),40A(3), 43B etc of the act and other specified disallowances, related to the business activity against which the Chapter VI-A is admissible on the profit so enhanced by the disallowance. 2. Further reliance is placed on the following judgments a. Kewal Construction [2013] 354 ITR 13 (Gujarat) "Even if a certain expenditure which was incurred by the assessee for the purpose of developing housing project was not allowable by virtue of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, since the assessee had not deducted the tax at source as required under law, it cannot be denied that such disallowance would ultimately go to increase the assessee's profit from the business of developing housing project. Whatever be the ultimate profit of assessee as computed even after making disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, would qualify for deduction as provided under the law." b.

....ing Officer for examination as to whether deductee has paid taxes directly or not. 5. On the contrary, Ld. D.R. opposed these submissions and supported the orders of the authorities below. He submitted that there is no evidence suggesting that the amount so surrendered during the course of survey was related to the receipts from hospital. In rejoinder, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the revenue has not brought any material suggesting that the assessee was having any other source of income whereby he could have earned such income. He submitted there that the Ld. CIT(A) erred in rejecting the claim of deduction on this amount and secondly enhancing the income without giving opportunity to the assessee. 6. We have heard the rival contentions, perused the material available on record and gone through the orders of the authorities below. The Ld. CIT(A) disallowed the deduction on this amount relying on the provisions of section 69A of the Act. For the sake of clarity, section 69A of the Act is reproduced hereunder: "Where in any financial year the assessee is found to be the owner of any money, bullion, jewellery or other valuable article and such money, bullion, je....

ITA No.1541/Ind/2016: 11. The assessee has raised following grounds of appeal: 1. The Ld. CIT(A) erred in levying the penalty of Rs. 7,73,073/- u/s 271(1)(c). 12. The only effective ground is against imposition of penalty by the Ld. CIT(A) u/s 271(1)(c) of the Act. The facts in brief are that in quantum proceedings during the appellate proceedings, Ld. CIT(A) disallowed deduction in respect of the amount disclosed during the course of survey and also initiated penalty on this disallowance and subsequently imposed the impugned penalty. Ld. Counsel for the assessee reiterated the submissions as made in the written synopsis. 13. On the contrary, Ld. D.R. opposed these submissions. 14. We have heard both the parties, perused the material available on record and gone through the orders of the authorities below. The only contention of the assessee against the penalty proceedings is that the notice issued u/s 274 r.w.s. 271 of the Act is defective. The Ld. Counsel for the assessee has drawn o....
