2023 (4) TMI 1331 - AT - Income TaxAddition on a protective basis - addition being protective addition on account of cash received against booking of shops in Kunj Mall - substantive assessments in the hands of M/s Kunj Infrastructure Private Limited have itself been deleted by the ITAT 2019 (10) TMI 1588 - ITAT AHMEDABAD - HELD THAT - Since the substantive addition have been deleted by the ITAT Ahmedabad in the hands of M/s Kunj Infrastructure Private Limited respectfully following view taken by various Courts in various decisions on this issue referred to above we are of the considered view that the additions made in the hands of the assessee on protective basis cannot sustain once the additions made on substantive basis have been deleted. Appeal of the assessee is allowed.
Issues Involved:
1. Reopening of the case u/s 147. 2. Addition of Rs. 2,72,00,000/- on a protective basis. Summary: Issue 1: Reopening of the case u/s 147 The assessee contended that the Ld. CIT (A) erred in law and on the facts of the case in confirming the action of the AO in reopening the case u/s 147 of the Act. The Tribunal noted that the substantive additions in the hands of M/s Kunj Infrastructure Private Limited were deleted by ITAT Ahmedabad, thus invalidating the protective assessment in the hands of the assessee. Issue 2: Addition of Rs. 2,72,00,000/- on a protective basis The assessee argued that the protective addition of Rs. 2,72,00,000/- made by the AO was not sustainable since the substantive additions in the hands of M/s Kunj Infrastructure Private Limited were deleted by ITAT Ahmedabad. The Tribunal observed that protective assessments cannot stand independently without substantive assessments. Citing various precedents, the Tribunal concluded that since the substantive additions were deleted, the protective additions in the hands of the assessee could not be sustained. Conclusion: The Tribunal allowed the appeal of the assessee, holding that the protective additions made in the hands of the assessee could not be sustained once the substantive additions were deleted. The appeal was thus allowed, and the order pronounced in the open court on 17-04-2023.
