S.69C: Unexplained expenditure- Payment by assessee to hospital doctors-Fees received which was distributed.
In the course of search unaccounted collection of fees was noticed in the names of doctors which claimed to be distributed to various doctors whether as regular employees or as consultants. The Court held that addition cannot be made in the hands of assessee, department should have issued the notice to the Doctors for confirmation of the payments and if they deny then only proceedings can be initiated under section 69C . On the facts the assessee has discharged the burden by providing the particulars of payments made to doctors. High Court confirmed the order of Tribunal which has deleted the addition.( A.Ys 2001-02 to 2003-04).
CIT v Lakshmi Hospital ( 2011) 62 DTR 261 ( Ker) (High Court).
This judgement supports what I mentioned in above post. if you can prove through your bank statement that assessee has actually paid the amount then addition can not be made. I'll look out for other judgements also.
