🌱 Tax Relief with a Green Twist!
In a landmark ruling, the ITAT Chandigarh Bench linked tax relief to environmental accountability in an ₹11.22 Crore unexplained cash and loan case (AY 2017–18).
The Tribunal granted the taxpayer a final chance to substantiate cash deposits made during demonetisation, unsecured loans, and creditors before the AO—on the condition of planting 500 trees along the Yamuna riverbank within one month. Failure to comply will revoke the relief.
A progressive precedent showing that corporate & legal remedies can walk hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility! 🌿⚖️
