ITAT Delhi quashes ₹1.70 crore cash tax assessment in property sale case
In short
The Delhi Income Tax Appellate Tribunal threw out an assessment against Mr. Sehgal over a property sale case. The tax department had said he got Rs 1.70 crore in cash, but the tribunal said the proof was not enough and cross-examination was not done properly.
This matters because it removes the tax demand for now. It is not stated in the available reporting whether the department will challenge the ruling.
What the reporting says
The Delhi Income Tax Appellate Tribunal quashed an assessment against Mr. Sehgal over alleged undisclosed cash linked to a property sale. The Income Tax Department had claimed he received Rs 1.70 crore in cash, but the tribunal said the evidence did not sufficiently establish the cash transactions and noted cross-examination of involved parties was not properly conducted. The immediate outcome is relief for the taxpayer; the reporting does not state whether the department will appeal.
