The Supreme Court ruled that TDS on payments to non-residents cannot exceed treaty-specified rates, even if PAN is not provided, ensuring DTAA provisions prevail over Section 206AA.
The Court held that Section 148 notices dated 31 March 2021 but issued after that date could not be treated as issued within the old limitation period. The ruling applies the amended reassessment framework and the Supreme Court’s directions in similar cases.
The Delhi High Court held that TDS for non-residents without PAN should follow DTAA rates, not the 20% rate under Section 206AA. The ruling confirms treaty provisions override procedural domestic laws.
The Tribunal noted that the Assessing Officers communication did not consider the assessees objections but only reiterated the basis of reopening. As the objections were not disposed of through a separate speaking order, the reassessment lacked jurisdiction. The ruling underscores that non-compliance with GKN Driveshafts cannot be treated as a mere procedural lapse.
The Tribunal emphasized that an error regarding VRS exemption made by a salaried, non-technical taxpayer cannot be classified as deliberate under-reporting. With no false claim or suppression, the 270A penalty was deleted.
Genuine sale was established through invoices, stock records, ledgers, bank proofs, and direct buyer confirmations, leaving no room for Section 68 additions. ITAT held that when sales are proved, no commission can be presumed under Section 69C.
The Tribunal held that notices under section 153C issued without independent satisfaction by the AO are invalid, quashing the consequent assessments for AY 2018-19 to 2020-21.
ITAT Mumbai confirmed loans from Hallow Securities and Dhankalash were genuine, rejecting Revenue’s allegations of shell-company loans. Interest claimed on these loans was also allowed. The ruling highlights the importance of corroborative evidence in section 68 assessments.
The Bombay ITAT allowed a 363-day delay in filing appeals caused by misdirected emails, emphasizing liberal interpretation of sufficient cause and procedural fairness. Appeals were remitted for fresh consideration on merits.
The Tribunal held that a 93-day delay caused by a tax professional’s mistaken assumption that the quantum appeal was already filed constituted a bona fide error. With no malafide intent shown, the delay was condoned, and both ex parte orders were remanded for fresh adjudication.
