The case ITA No. 5267/DEL/2019 involves the appellant ACIT, Central Circle-28, New Delhi, and the respondent Agson Global Pvt. Ltd., Delhi, for the assessment year 2015-16. The appeal was filed by the ACIT against the previous order favoring Agson Global regarding undisclosed income and share capital issues.
The tribunal reviewed the extensive documentation and arguments presented by both parties. The primary focus was on the addition of undisclosed income through share capital and premiums, which the IT department contended were not clearly justified by the respondent.
On October 31, 2019, the tribunal delivered its judgment, siding with the respondent, Agson Global Pvt. Ltd. The tribunal found that the evidence provided was sufficient to rule out the additions made by the IT department. It emphasized the need for concrete evidence when making such additions to an entity’s income.
This decision sets a significant precedent regarding the burden of proof required for undisclosed income allegations related to share capital. It underscores the necessity for the IT department to have substantial evidence before making any additions to the assessed income.
The tribunal’s decision in ITA No. 5267/DEL/2019 for the assessment year 2015-16 marks a pivotal point in tax litigation, highlighting critical considerations for similar cases in the future.
