III. Useful Case Laws:
1. The ACIT (Inv) Vs. Smt. B Sumangaladevi, ITA No. 5049/2010, Dated: 03-10-2012, High court of Karnataka
Low Tax Effect Circular not applies to pending appeals
When Clause 11 of the instruction No.3/11 dated 09.02.2011 issued by the Board, specifically says that it will be applicable to the cases filed on or after 9.2.2011, the courts holding that it is applicable to the pending cases is against the provision under Section 268A of the Act, Public Interest and the Public Policy. Therefore, we uphold the contention of the revenue that the Instruction No.3 dated 09.02.2011 has no retrospective effect and the appeal filed by the revenue is maintainable. Accordingly, we answer the 1st substantial question of law, in the negative in favour of the Revenue.

Where donation receipts are in the custody of the department, no addition can be made u/s 68 being an anonymous donation.
The assessee received a donations which was not “anonymous donations” within the meaning of Section 11(3) of the Act because the receipts issued by the assessee trust were still in the custody of the department as the receipt books were impounded in the course of the survey and no confirmations were required to be filed by the assessee. In these circumstances the Tribunal held that Section 68 cannot be applied as the amount has already been shown by the assessee as income. The Tribunal referred to the judgment of this Court in Director of Income Tax (Exemption) v. Keshav Social and Charitable Foundation, (2005) 278 ITR 152.
