    Although both the parties i.e the assessee and the purchaser had executed a deed of correction wherein they had mentioned that the value of the property as per ready reckoner rate was ₹ 4,53,00,690/-, but then, we cannot remain oblivious of the fact that there is no material available on record from where it could be gathered that the valuation adopted by the stamp valuation authority at ₹ 5,53,35,670/- had been substituted by the aforesaid ready reckoner rate of ₹ 4,53,00,690/-. In sum and substance, there is nothing discernible from the records which would reveal that the valuation adopted by the stamp valuation authority had been revised at ₹ 4,53,00,690/-.

    AO held a bona fide belief that as the assessee had contravened the provisions of Sec. 80IB(10)(a)(iii), it was thus not entitled for claim of deduction u/s 80IB; and the A.O on the basis of verifications carried out in the course of the assessment proceedings for A.Y 2012-13, had gathered, that the built-up area of some of the residential units in the project viz.”Adityavardhan” was more than the prescribed area of 1000 sq. ft, which being in contravention of the norms prescribed in Sec. 80IB(10)(c) rendered the assessee ineligible for claim of deduction under the said statutory provision.

  12. ITAT Mumbai · 13 Jul 2020
    While deciding identical issue in assessee's own case in Assessment Year 2009-10 The Tribunal accepting assessee's claim has allowed the deduction claimed as revenue expenditure. The same view was reiterated by the Tribunal while deciding assessee's appeal in Assessment Year 2010-11 In the orders referred to above. Facts being identical, respectfully following the decisions of the co-ordinate Bench (supra), we allow assessee's claim of deduction. Resultantly, the disallowance made by the Assessing Officer is deleted. Consequently, the depreciation allowed by the Assessing Officer on the expenditure claimed is also reversed.

  13. ITAT Mumbai · 13 Jul 2020
    As is discernible from the assessment order for A.Y 2013-14, the A.O had disallowed 50% of the assessee's claim for car depreciation and car expenses primarily for the reason that he had not furnished any evidence with regard to maintenance of any log book. As the fact situation during the year under consideration in context of the aforesaid issue before us remains the same, therefore, after principally agreeing with the view taken by the Tribunal as regards the entitlement of the assessee towards claim for car depreciation and car expenses, we accept the alternative claim of the assessee and restrict the disallowance of car depreciation, car insurance expenses and car expenses to the extent of 50% of the claim raised by the assessee.

  16. ITAT Kolkata · 13 Jul 2020
    As the interest free funds are in excess of the investments, the presumption that arises is that interest free funds have been invested in investments which do not yield taxable income as held in the case of CIT vs. Reliance Utilities & Power Ltd. We find no infirmity in the order of the ld. CIT(A). Thus, we uphold the deletion of the disallowance made under Rule 8D(2)(ii) of the Rules. Disallowance made under Rule 8D(2)(iii), CIT(A) has directed the AO to consider only those investments which have earned dividend during the year for the purpose of computation of disallowance under the Rules.

  18. ITAT Mumbai · 13 Jul 2020
    The issue of allowability of deduction in respect of donation to School of Human Genetics and Population Health is squarely covered by the decision of M/s P.R. Rolling Mills Pvt. Ltd. Vs DCIT AND DCIT Vs Maco Corporation (India) as considered the issue in regard to very same trust i.e. SGHPH and holds that prior to the date of donation under cancellation of registration has happened and there is absolutely no provision of withdrawal of recognition under section 35(1)(ii). Provisions of the Act are very clear that the payer (the assessee herein) would not get affected if the recognition granted to the payee had been withdrawn subsequent to the date of contribution by the assessee. Hence no disallowance u/s 35(1)(ii).

    Assessee on learning about the fact that School of Human Genetics & Population Health was found to have indulged in ingenuine activities, had thus, in the return of income filed by him in compliance to Notice u/s 148, had in all fairness withdrawn the claim of deduction u/s 35(1)(ii) that was earlier raised by him in the Original return of income.
