This case reviews an appeal by Sunita against the ex parte order of the CIT(A) -14, New Delhi, relating to the assessment year 2016-17, particularly focusing on the dispute over short-term capital gain calculations.
The AO completed the assessment with a substantial addition of Rs. 24 lakhs as short-term capital gain based on property transaction discrepancies, applying section 50C of the IT Act, considering a higher stamp duty valuation than declared sale consideration.
Due to non-appearance before the CIT(A), an ex parte decision was upheld, which was contested at the Tribunal. The Tribunal, acknowledging the need for a thorough review, restored the matter to the file of the AO for re-assessment in light of the Valuation Officer’s report, emphasizing the need for accurate valuation in capital gain computations.
This case illustrates the critical role of compliance and proper representation in tax disputes. It highlights the Tribunal’s approach to ensuring justice through procedural fairness, allowing for a re-evaluation of the property value which significantly impacts the capital gain assessment.
The decision underscores the importance of adhering to statutory provisions while calculating taxable income and the role of judicial bodies in resolving such disputes effectively.
