Facts Summary

The assessee, a partnership firm, did not file any return of income. The Assessing Officer issued a notice under section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, but the assessee did not respond. The Assessing Officer found that the assessee received ₹48,30,000/- as rental income from Nathella Sampath Jewellery Private Limited and added this amount to the assessee's total income. The assessee challenged this decision before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), who confirmed the addition. The assessee then appealed to the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal, arguing that the rental income was not received and should not be taxed in the current year.
