Dubai mein kaam karne wale ek pati ne apni patni ke bank account mein lagbhag ₹80 lakh transfer kiye. Is transaction ke baad Income Tax Department ne patni ko notice bhejkar is rakam ka source aur tax liability ko lekar jawab manga.
Maamla court tak pahucha, jahan yeh sawaal tha ki kya pati dwara patni ko bheja gaya paisa taxable income maana jayega ya nahi. Court ne sunwai ke baad kaha ki agar pati ne apni legal income se patni ko gift ya family support ke roop mein paisa bheja hai aur transaction ka proper record maujood hai, to ise patni ki taxable income nahi maana ja sakta.
Court ne Income Tax Department ko is maamle mein rahat dene ka nirdesh diya aur spasht kiya ki sirf bank account mein badi rakam aane se kisi vyakti ko tax ka bhugtan karna zaroori nahi ho jata. Agar paisa ka source genuine ho aur zaroori documents uplabdh hon, to aise transactions kanooni roop se valid maane ja sakte hain.
Is faisle ko NRI families ke liye ek aham decision maana ja raha hai, kyunki videsh se family members ko bheje gaye paison ko lekar aksar tax notices jaari hote rehte hain.
