Unexplained partner capital cannot be added to firm’s income
A clear summary of the ITAT Hyderabad ruling that unexplained partner capital cannot be treated as firm income, with simple points on responsibility, legal support, and what firms and partners should do.
The ITAT Hyderabad ruled that unexplained capital brought by partners cannot be taxed as the firm’s income. The order set aside an addition of ₹3.26 crore made by the Assessing Officer.
Key points
- Partner’s capital: Money added by partners is not treated as unexplained income of the firm under Section 69A.
- Responsibility: Partners must explain the source of their capital. If they cannot, tax can be added in the hands of the partner, not the firm.
- Legal support: Backed by High Court rulings, including India Rice Mills v. CIT (1996) and CIT v. Anupam Udyog (1983).
Implications
- Taxation: Unexplained partner capital is not taxable in the firm’s hands.
- Compliance: Partners should keep clear records to prove the source of funds.
Quick takeaway
In short: If a partner cannot explain their capital, the tax falls on the partner, not the firm.
