Section 68 IT Act | Unexplained Cash Credit Cannot Be Imputed to Opening Balances : ITAT Agra Bars Addition for Prior-Year Loans
ITAT Agra rules that Section 68 of the Income Tax Act cannot apply to loans outstanding as opening balances from prior assessment years. The tribunal deleted a Rs 6.5 lakh addition, setting a key precedent that unexplained cash credit provisions are inapplicable to pre-existing liabilities, offering relief to taxpayers facing similar assessments.
