Section 69B Income Tax Act | Unexplained Investment Taxed Only in Year of Actual Payment, Not Partial Outlay : ITAT Agra

The ITAT Agra has ruled that under Section 69B, unexplained investments must be taxed in the assessment year when the full payment was actually made, not when partial funds were disbursed. This clarifies a critical timing issue for trusts and entities with staggered property purchases, ensuring tax liability aligns with economic reality and prevents arbitrary assessment years.
