\nAssessee entitled to raise claims not made in ROI before appellate authorities
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The assessee filed a ROI in which it omitted to make a claim<\/em> for payment of SEBI fees. The claim was made by a letter during the assessment proceedings. The AO rejected the claim on the ground that he had no authority to allow any deduction which had not been claimed in the ROI<\/em>. The assessee raised the claim before the CIT (A) who allowed and this was confirmed by the Tribunal. The department filed an appeal to the High Court claiming that as per Goetze<\/strong> 284 ITR 323 (SC), the assessee was not entitled to make an additional claim for deduction other than by filing a revised return. HELD by the High Court dismissing the appeal:<\/p>\n

It is well settled that an assessee is entitled to raise not merely additional legal submissions before the appellate authorities, but is also entitled to raise additional claims<\/strong> before them. The appellate authorities have the discretion whether or not to permit such additional claims to be raised. It cannot, however, be said that they have no jurisdiction to consider the same. That they may choose not to exercise their jurisdiction in a given case is another matter. The exercise of discretion is entirely different from the existence of jurisdiction. Goetze<\/strong> was confined to a case where the claim was made only before the AO and not before the appellate authorities. The Court did not lay down that a claim not made before the AO cannot be made before the appellate authorities<\/strong>. The jurisdiction of the appellate authorities to entertain such a claim has not been negated by the Supreme Court in this judgment. On facts, there was nothing to show that the claim entertained by the CIT (A)\/ ITAT was improper (Jai Parabolic<\/a><\/strong> 306 ITR 42 (Del) referred). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nFor a thorough discussion on Goetze<\/strong> 284 ITR 323 (SC) see Article<\/a><\/strong> & Eversmile Construction<\/a><\/strong>. In some cases it has been held that the AO ought to have himself entertained the claim in view of Circular No. 14 (XL-35) of 1955<\/strong> dated 11th April 1955 (dept cannot take advantage of assessee’s ignorance<\/em>).\n<\/div>\n
