CITATION:
S. 271D: Section 269SS does not apply to non-monetary book entry transactions of loans and advances

Section 269SS indicates that it applies to a transaction where a deposit or a loan is accepted by an assessee, otherwise than by an account payee cheque or an account payee draft. The ambit of the Section is clearly restricted to transaction involving acceptance of money and not intended to affect cases where a debit or a liability arises on account of book entries. The object of the Section is to prevent transactions in currency. This is also clearly explicit from clause (iii) of the explanation to Section 269SS of the Act which defines loan or deposit to mean “loan or deposit of money”. The liability recorded in the books of accounts by way of journal entries, i.e. crediting the account of a party to whom monies are payable or debiting the account of a party from whom monies are receivable in the books of accounts, is clearly outside the ambit of the provision of Section 269SS of the Act, because passing such entries does not involve acceptance of any loan or deposit of money (CIT Vs Noida Toll Bridge Co.

One comment on “CIT vs. Mahagun Technologies Pvt. Ltd (ITAT Delhi)
  1. s.269 SS when r/w 271 D,why the great AO could not understand simple proposition of cash component that only could attract 271D.
    But here account payee chq or demand draft . when so HOW AO applied 271D, I WONDER.

    SHD not the dept be directed to issue the AO NECESSARY CENSURE, if not these AO worthies would work the way they work and affect unnecessarily time and money of all concerned.

    very sad what kind of revenue indian govt is running.

    do we call we have sensible finance ministry is place!
