It was ruled that under-reported revenue cannot be inferred solely from service tax data when no defects are found in regularly maintained books. Income must be assessed on real income principles supported by enquiry and evidence.
It was ruled that section 80G(5B) expressly permits limited religious expenditure up to 5% of total income. Denial of approval without examining actual expenditure was held to be legally unsustainable.
Tribunal held that unsecured loans cannot be treated as unexplained where confirmations, bank statements, and tax returns establish identity, creditworthiness and genuineness through banking channels.
It was ruled that the Assessing Officer’s own finding of circular trading negates the application of bogus purchase jurisprudence. In the absence of evidence of sham transactions, estimated profit additions cannot survive.
The ruling explains the procedural outcome when a section 263 order is set aside. Original assessment appeals are restored, while appeals from consequential orders are dismissed as infructuous.
The ruling clarifies that TDS must be deducted at the time of credit, even if amounts are booked as provisions. Merely claiming that no payment was made does not excuse non-deduction.
The Tribunal held that where purchases are not disputed and books are not rejected, the entire sale consideration cannot be added as unexplained income. Since the assessee had already offered profits to tax, the addition was deleted.
The tribunal held that reliance on an investigation report cannot override the statutory requirement of section 68. Where the assessee maintained no books, additions based solely on bank credits were invalid.
The ruling clarifies that penalty cannot be levied merely because expenses are partly disallowed on estimation. Absence of under-reporting or misreporting defeats the penalty action.
It was ruled that reassessment proceedings must be initiated only through the faceless mechanism after the CBDT notification under section 151A. The concept of concurrent jurisdiction between JAO and FAO was expressly rejected.
