This analysis delves into the tribunal hearing of ITA No. 1099/DEL/2019, a pivotal tax dispute involving Surya Vanijya P.Ltd, challenged under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act, concerning the assessment year 2009-10.
The case originated from a search and seizure operation on Priya Gold Group, revealing documents implicating Surya Vanijya P.Ltd. An addition of Rs.15,22,00,000 was made to the company’s income, attributed to share capital which the authorities claimed lacked verifiable genuineness and creditworthiness of contributors.
Following the assessment, Surya Vanijya appealed against the CIT(A)’s decision which upheld the Income Tax Officer’s addition. The case progressed without the appellant’s representation at hearings, leading to a tribunal decision based solely on the respondent’s arguments and the material on record.
The Tribunal’s decision emphasized the necessity for taxpayers to substantiate the source of significant income entries. Under Section 68, the burden was on Surya Vanijya to demonstrate the identity and financial legitimacy of the share capital contributors.
The ruling highlighted the stringent requirements for documentation and transparency in financial disclosures, upholding the addition made by the assessing officer. This case serves as a significant precedent for similar fiscal disputes.
