ITAT Jodhpur: Penny Stock LTCG Cannot Be Treated as Bogus Merely on General Investigation Report

Last updated: 11 August 2026
Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Jodhpur has ruled that long-term capital gains (LTCG) from penny stock transactions cannot be deemed bogus simply because the shares were part of a general investigation report. The tribunal found that the Assessing Officer (AO) had not presented specific evidence linking the assessee to any wrongdoing. The transactions were conducted through banking channels, supported by demat records, and the shares were regularly traded, leading the ITAT to allow the assessee's appeal.

Court :
Jodhpur
