The High Court ruled that undisclosed income can be assessed using both search material and other information relatable to it, confirming the ITAT’s interpretation of Section 158-BB.
The Kerala High Court held that the Commissioner’s suo motu revision under Section 263 was unjustified, confirming that donations to other charitable trusts qualify as application of income under Section 11.
The High Court examined a claim that cash recovered during raids originated from a 2008 family settlement. The authorities challenged this, citing suspicion of illegal gratification and procedural gaps.
The Tribunal held that reassessment beyond four years is invalid when the AO fails to show how the assessee withheld material facts. The AO merely copied Investigation Wing inputs without independent reasoning. The entire reassessment was declared void for violating the proviso to Section 147.
The Tribunal held that cash deposits are explained when supported by corresponding withdrawals, even without precise mapping. Once the assessee shows availability of funds, the onus shifts to the AO to rebut the explanation. The addition under Section 69A was deleted in full.
The Tribunal held that reopening based on Section 50C was unsustainable because the provision applies only to sellers, not purchasers of property. With the very foundation of reassessment failing, the addition based on circle-rate difference was deleted. The ruling underscores that incorrect legal assumptions cannot justify reopening under Section 147.
The Tribunal deleted the Section 68 addition after finding no material linking the assessee to any accommodation-entry scheme. All documentary evidence—demat records, broker notes, and banking channels—supported genuine share transactions. The ruling reiterates that suspicion or probability cannot override verified evidence.
The ITAT held that cash deposits during demonetisation could not be taxed u/s 68 when all sales were recorded, verified, and supported by stock and VAT records. Since books were audited, accepted, and showed no defect, the addition of ₹12.20 crore based on mere averages was unsustainable. The ruling confirms that documented cash sales cannot be taxed again as unexplained cash credit.
Chhattisgarh High Court held that TCS provisions covered under section 206C(1C) of the Income Tax Act doesn’t apply to amount of compounding fees/ fine that was recovered from illegal miners and transporters of minerals.
ITAT ruled that reopening was bad in law as reasons cited property purchases, while additions related to cash credits—showing no live nexus. The case reaffirms that reassessment must be based on specific, relevant material.
