The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal’s decision in ITA 1926/DEL/2020 addresses significant tax disputes involving RSWM Ltd for the assessment year 2011-12, focusing on disallowances under Section 14A of the Income Tax Act and allegations of bogus purchases.
The Revenue challenged the CIT(A)’s decision that restricted the disallowance linked to dividend income and reduced penalties concerning alleged bogus purchases.
The tribunal examined the disallowance under Section 14A concerning exempt dividend income and the application of Rule 8D, ultimately upholding the CIT(A)’s decision to restrict disallowances to the extent of the dividend income. The case also delved into the treatment of bogus purchases where the CIT(A) limited the addition to the extent of the gross profit on such purchases, following judicial precedents favoring such an approach.
The decision underlines the principles of reasonable disallowance and supports the integrity of quantitative results in financial records. This case serves as a crucial reference for similar disputes, illustrating the tribunal’s stance on substantial tax issues like Section 14A disallowances and the treatment of bogus purchases.
