Section 145(3) IT Act | Non-Production of Vouchers Justifies Best Judgment Assessment & Unexplained Cash Addition : ITAT Panaji
ITAT Panaji upholds the rejection of books under Section 145(3) of the Income Tax Act due to non-production of vouchers and audit records, affirming additions for unexplained cash deposits and underreported business profits. The ruling reinforces that failure to substantiate claims with documentary evidence empowers tax authorities to make best judgment assessments, impacting traders and businesses with inadequate record-keeping.
