The case involves an appeal by Tapan Roy Security Agency against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi. The primary issues in dispute relate to the corrections in the audit report concerning bonus payments and the deductions for interest income on a savings account under Sections 36(1)(ii) and 80TTA of the Income Tax Act, respectively.
The appellant argued that the amount of bonus reported was incorrect and was mistakenly inflated in the original audit report. After realizing the error, a revised audit report was submitted to reflect the correct lower amount, but the lower authorities did not accept the revised figures. Additionally, a disallowance of interest income deduction claimed under Section 80TTA was contested, citing procedural oversight in filing the correct claims under the appropriate sections.
The tribunal acknowledged the procedural challenges faced by the appellant in correcting the audit report and addressing the incorrect bonus figures. It remanded the issue back to the Assessing Officer to verify the corrected audit report and make an appropriate decision based on the substantiated figures. Similarly, for the interest income from the savings account, the tribunal directed verification of the bank statements to ascertain the correctness of the claimed deductions.
This case underscores the importance of accurate financial reporting and the procedural nuances in claiming deductions under the Income Tax Act. The decision highlights the need for taxpayers to ensure precise documentation and compliance with statutory requirements to avoid disputes and ensure entitlement to rightful deductions. The resolution of the appeal also emphasizes the role of judicial oversight in ensuring fair assessments and adherence to principles of natural justice.
The order was pronounced in the open court, underscoring the transparency of the proceedings and the detailed judicial review conducted by the tribunal.
