ITAT Hyderabad held that trade advance given to goldsmith for making gold jewellery and excess amount paid has been received back in cash. The same cannot be added under section 68 of the Income Tax Act as unexplained cash credit. Accordingly, addition u/s. 68 is directed to be deleted.
The Tribunal held that when purchases are conclusively proved to be sham accommodation entries, the entire amount is disallowable under section 69C. Mere invoices and bank payments cannot override incriminating search evidence and admissions.
Patna High Court held that ITAT was not justified in reversing the order of CIT(A) without demonstrating any perversity, misreading of evidence, or application of an incorrect legal standard by the appellate authority. Accordingly, deletion of addition u/s. 68 by CIT(A) justified and writ allowed.
ITAT Mumbai ruled that Form 26AS is not conclusive when deduction of tax is otherwise established. Denial of TDS credit would amount to double taxation, which Section 205 expressly prohibits.
The Tribunal deleted on-money additions where the tax department failed to establish a clear nexus between the assessee and alleged cash entries. Suspicion or unverified third-party material was held insufficient in law.
The tribunal held that Maximum Marginal Rate implies tax at the highest slab rate of 30%, not automatic levy of 37% surcharge. Surcharge must strictly follow slab thresholds prescribed in the Finance Act.
The ruling states that the appellate authority must decide grounds on merits after examining evidence, even if the assessee was non-cooperative. The case was sent back for reconsideration subject to costs.
The Tribunal held that pension paid by the US government is taxable only in the United States under the India–USA DTAA. The key takeaway is that beneficial treaty provisions prevail over Indian tax law.
The Tribunal held that mandatory prior approval granted in a routine and non-speaking manner violates statutory requirements. Assessments framed on such approval were found legally unsustainable.
The Court held that reassessment notices failed because seized documents did not relate to the relevant assessment years. Jurisdiction under Section 153C was therefore not validly assumed.
