Asst. CIT vs. Shapoorji Pallonji Solar Holdings Pvt. Ltd.

Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, Shapoorji Pallonji Solar Holdings Pvt. Ltd., a resident corporate entity engaged in the business of generation and supply of Power and Energy, filed its return of income for the assessment year 2021-22 declaring a loss. The return was selected for complete scrutiny, primarily to examine the low profit ratio. During the assessment proceedings, the Assessing Officer (AO) disallowed the claim of Long Term Capital Loss (LTCL) of Rs.183,00,38,564/- on the sale of shares, alleging lack of supporting evidence. The assessee contested this disallowance before the first appellate authority, providing additional evidence and a valuation report. The first appellate authority allowed the LTCL claim. The Revenue appealed this decision to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), arguing that the first appellate authority erred in its decision. The ITAT reviewed the submissions and evidence, including the remand reports from the AO.…
