Section 56 Income Tax Act | Notional Interest Entries in Seized Diaries Not Taxable as Real Income : ITAT Ahmedabad

ITAT Ahmedabad clarifies that notional interest entries found in seized diaries do not constitute taxable income under Section 56 of the Income Tax Act, preventing double taxation. The ruling reinforces that only real accrual of income, not hypothetical accounting entries, can be taxed, offering relief to assessees facing arbitrary additions based on seized documents.
