Income Tax - Assessee's premises, on which a housing project promoted by builders related to her executed, raided - Block assessment - Revenue treats premises as transferred by assessee to the builders within the meaning of Sec.2(47)(v) and accordingly makes additions in the relevant year on account of profit on transfer in nature of short term capital gain - Sec. 2(47)(v) cannot be invoked unless ingredients of Sec.53A of Transfer of Property Act are satisfied - Assessee does not have a written agreement with the builders nor has received any consideration on account of alleged transfer, thus conditions of Sec.53A of TPA not satisfied - Revenue's appeal dismissed :HC;

2007-TIOL-433-HC-DEL-IT.doc

Income Tax - Assessee, a charitable society, engaged in promotion of Hindi, receives a donation of Rs 10 lakh from a State Govt - Revenue treats the sum as financial aid rather than contribution to corpus - CIT(A) and Tribunal disagree as the assessee treated the sum as corpus by putting it in FD - A donation cannot be treated as corpus fund unless the same is indicated by the donor - In the instant case the donor has instead asked for furnishing utilisation certificate - Revenue's appeal upheld :HC;

Income Tax - Assessee declares a loss in its return - Scrutiny proceedings initiated - AO finds assessee's claim of loss speculative and assessed the income at a loss - Loss shown in return not adjusted - Penalty u/s 271(1)(c) imposed for wrong furnishing of income particulars - CIT and Tribunal delete the penalty - Just because the assessee treated the share brokerage loss as speculative, it does not warrant an inference about wrong furnishing of income particulars and calls for levying penalty - Revenue's appeal dismissed :HC;

2007-TIOL-431-HC-P&H-IT.doc

Income Tax - Assessee, a senior manager in a bank, is searched and various benami accounts operated by him and through which FDRs were encashed are found - Revenue assesses him for undisclosed income - CIT and Tribunal uphold the order - Assessee objects on the ground that the money in bank accounts can at best be confiscated but not be linked to him and added to his income - Findings of CIT as well as Tribunal are of facts based on sufficient evidence - Exercise of jurisdiction u/s 260A does not permit reversing the findings by reappreciating evidence to reach a different conclusion than the one recorded by lower authorities merely because another view is possible - Assessee's appeal dismissed :HC;
