Question 2

What are the facts of Income Tax Officer vs Javerilal Dalichand Bhansali?

Accepted Answer

The assessee, Javerilal Dalichand Bhansali, filed a return declaring a total income of Rs.6,69,040/-. During the investigation, the DDIT (INV) recorded a statement under section 131 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, wherein the assessee admitted to two types of business activities: the actual trading of iron and steel, and providing accommodation bills to parties without actual delivery of goods. The assessee conceded that he charged a commission of 0.5% to 1% for providing these accommodation entries. The Assessing Officer (AO) determined the purchase and sale amounts and calculated commission at the rate of 1% on both, adding these amounts to the assessee's total income. The assessee appealed to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)), who restricted the addition to 1% on the alleged purchase but deleted the addition on the sale. The revenue then appealed to the Tribunal.
