Commissioner passed the Revision order on the ground that the valuation as per stamp valuation is more than the actual consideration paid by the assessee. Tribunal set aside the order of the Commissioner on the ground that no presumption could be drawn on the ground that purchaser of property must have paid more than what was actually recorded in account books. On appeal dismissing the appeal of the Revenue the Court held that it is not permissible to draw an inference from the circumstances surrounding a transaction of sale of property that the purchaser of the property must have paid more than what was actually recorded in his books of account. No presumption can be drawn on this aspect. Relied on Gayatri Enterprise v. ITO [2020]271 Taxman 276/420 ITR 15 (Guj)(HC) (AY. 2012-13)
PCIT v. Yogeshkumar Shantilal Mehta (2023) 295 Taxman 623 (Guj.)(HC)
