Bot Summary: | The assessee came in appeal before the AAC and contended that she did not have taxable wealth and she did not file her return. As according to the assessee, the return was in minus figure, the assessee was under bona fide belief that she did not have any obligation to file her return. Shri Jha, the senior departmental representative, urged that bona fide belief of the assessee was not correct when the assessee has been assessed to tax during the asst. The assessee filed application for extension of time which shows that the assessee was having taxable wealth. The counsel of the assessee filed a paper book which included the explanation of the assessee before the WTO and the AAC and the statement of wealth for the asst. The assessee has filed in the paper book the statement of wealth as at 31st Chaitra 1381 B.S. According to the above statement, the assessee has worked out the gross wealth of Rs. 3,82,297 from which the deduction has been made for debts at Rs. 4,44,797. The resultant wealth is in minus figure at Rs. 62,499 for which the return was filed by the assessee for the asst. |
