ITO vs. Medical Designs Pvt. Ltd.

Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The case involves a dispute over the assessment of an immovable property transaction by the Income Tax Officer (ITO). The ITO issued a notice under section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, alleging that the assessee, Medical Designs India Pvt. Ltd., had purchased an immovable property for Rs. 5,57,69,640/- and failed to disclose the capital gains. The assessee argued that it had sold the property and not purchased it. The ITO completed the assessment ex-parte due to the assessee's non-compliance. The assessee appealed to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)), who allowed the appeal, finding that the ITO had erred in recording the reasons for the reassessment. The revenue department further appealed to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), which dismissed the appeal.…
