On the other hand, Shri Neil Philip, ld. DR, defended the conclusion arrived at in the impugned order. 2. We have considered the rival submissions and perused the material available on record. The facts, in brief are that the assessee, an individual, derives income from salary, capital gains, business and other sources, declared total income of Rs. 2,55,870/- in its return filed on 30/03/2009. In response to the notice, issued to the assessee, u/s 143(2) of the Act submitted the details called for alongwith explanation. However, the Assessing Of .....

"Section 56(2)(vi): In particular, and without prejudice to the generality of the provisions of sub-section (1), the following incomes, shall be chargeable to income tax under the head "Income from other sources", namely :- (vi) where any sum of money, the aggregate value of which exceeds fifty thousand rupees, is received without consideration, by an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family, in any previous year from any person or person's on or after the 1st day or April, 2006 but before the 1st day of October, 2009, the whole of the aggregate value of such sum;" We find that section 56 of the Act deals with income from other sources. Sub-clause (vi) to section 56 (2) was inserted by taxation laws (amendment) Act, 2006, with effect from 01 .....

No adverse remark has been made by the Assessing Officer in the case of Ustad Zakir Hussain, thus, the adverse observation made in the assessment order is factually incorrect. Rather, the Assessing Officer did not consider the details and evidence filed by the assessee and still if he was having any apprehension regarding the explanation of the assessee nothing prevented him to call for the details from the assessee as well as from Zakir Hussain before resorting to the provisions of section 56(2)(vi) of the Act. Identically, the Hon'ble Punajb & Haryana High Court in the case of CIT vs Saran Pal Singh (HUF) 237 CTR (P & H) 50 held as under: "The Assessing Offic .....

Therefore, in the totality of circumstances of the present case, we find no justification to uphold the stand of the Assessing Officer and the CIT(A) was justified in deleting the impugned addition. Accordingly, the conclusion of the CIT(A), is affirmed" We have heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that scope of section 56(2) (v) is very wide which included any amount received by the assessee unless the same was covered by the provisio. We are unable to accept the submission. The amo .....

The Assessing Officer on conservative basis took the rateable value at 8% per annum of the investment and thus computed the property income at Rs. 45,513/- and taxed the same as 'income from house property'. The assessee has disputed this valuation. Admitted position is that the assessee did not file any municipal valuation of the said property. The assessee has not explained how the valuation is towards higher side. The formula devised by the Revenue is also based upon personal perception, therefore, to put an end to the litigation, as agreed from both sides, the value is reduced to Rs. 30,000/- again .....
