ITAT deletes addition of Rupees. 30 Lacs received by Actor Kushal Tandon as a gift from his Father


Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has ruled in favour of actor Kushal Tandon, deleting an addition of £30 lakhs that the Assessing Officer had treated as an unexplained cash credit. The ITAT found that Tandon had provided sufficient evidence, including his father's financial statements and a gift deed, to prove the nature and source of the gift. The tribunal also addressed issues regarding the disallowance of a donation deduction and the ad-hoc disallowance of business expenses, finding in favour of Tandon on these points as well.
