Section 69 IT Act | Full Disclosure of Bitcoin Investment & Compensatory Loss Bars 'Unexplained Investment' Addition : ITAT Bangalore
ITAT Bangalore rules that where an assessee discloses bitcoin investments and corresponding capital losses in tax returns, additions under Section 69 for 'unexplained investments' cannot stand. The ruling underscores that mere non-declaration of capital gains-without concealment of the investment source-does not constitute unaccounted income, offering relief to crypto traders facing reassessment.
