Finance Ministry’s Notification 151/2025 grants income tax exemption to the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB), effective retrospectively from Assessment Year 2024-25.
The ITAT refused to condone the Revenues 100-day delay in filing an appeal, holding that busy officer or bureaucratic delay does not constitute sufficient cause. The Tribunal emphasized that the law of limitation binds Government departments equally, and vague excuses are not acceptable.
The ITAT ruled that loose, uncorroborated diaries maintained by a third party are dumb documents and cannot be the sole basis for major tax additions or the denial of Section 11 exemption for a charitable trust. The Tribunal emphasized that suspicion is not a substitute for proof, and denying Section 11 requires concrete evidence of a violation under Section 13.
The ITAT confirmed that Section 54F capital gains exemption covers the entire investment in a new residential house, including the cost of land, even if purchased early. It ruled that land is an inseparable component, upholding the construction timeline as sufficient compliance.
HC directed CBDT to issue a circular extending due date for filing income tax returns to 30th November 2025, especially for taxpayers required to file audit reports for assessment year 2025-26, in line with extension of specified date to 31st October 2025.

The Tribunal confirmed a co-operative banks use of a mixed accounting system (mercantile/receipt basis) for NPA interest, prioritizing consistency and adherence to RBI/NABARD prudential norms over the AOs theoretical objection. This ruling solidifies that regulatory requirements trump mechanical accounting changes.
The ITAT deleted additions in a search assessment, ruling that the AO couldn’t disallow depreciation or sub-contract expenses solely based on an unverified third-party statement without granting the assessee cross-examination. The Tribunal emphasized that denial of natural justice and reliance on suspicion cannot replace documentary evidence, such as bank payments and TDS.
