Question 2

What are the facts of DCIT, Central Circle-1, Raipur (C.G.) Vs. Hill Brow Metallics & Construction Pvt. Ltd.?

Accepted Answer

The case involves appeals by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax (DCIT) against the decision of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) regarding the disallowance of bogus purchases made by Hill Brow Metallics & Construction Pvt. Ltd. The assessee had engaged in bogus billing and circular transactions, which were identified by the Assessing Officer (AO). The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) had restricted the disallowance to 12.5% of the alleged bogus purchases. However, the appellate tribunal found that both the AO and the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) failed to conduct independent enquiries and verifications before making their decisions. Therefore, the tribunal set aside the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and restored the matter to the AO for necessary verification and enquiry.
