AO was not justified in making addition in the hands of assessee, without allowing the assessee to cross-examine Mr. Mukesh Choksi, whose statement was relied upon for making the above additions.
Under the provisions of section 292B, certain acts are not to be treated as invalid by reason of mistake or defect or omission either in the return of income, assessment, notice, summons or other proceedings. In other words, notice cannot be invalidated by reason of any mistake such as one occurred in the present case i.e. mentioning section 153A instead of 153C.
The only mistake on the part of AO was in mentioning section 153A, instead of section 153C. If this mistake was not allowed to be cured, the very purpose and object of enacting section 292B would be defeated as impugned notice in substance and effect, was in conformity with or according to the intent and purpose of the Act.
These are appeals filed by the assessee-firm directed against the common order of the Commissioner (Appeals), Gulbarga, dated 29-1-2016 for the assessment years 2011-12 and 2012-13. Since common issue is involved in both the appeals, we proceed to dispose of the same by this common order.
If the assessee is able to establish that it was only a notional provision which was reversed afterwards, then no TDS liability can be imposed on the assessee.
The learned Commissioner (Appeals)-3, Bengaluru has erred in not allowing credit in respect of TDS deducted and deposited by certain customers wrongly in the erstwhile name of the appellant (IT &T Technology Services Limited now known as IGATE Infrastructure Management Services Limited) of Rs. 61,84,211.
Since, no specific format is provided under the Act for recording satisfaction for making dis allowance under section 14A, AO was not required to give detailed reasons for invocation of rule 8D(2) in view of the fact that assessee failed to discharge its primary onus of proving nexus between interest-free funds and the investments yielding tax- free income.
When the business asset of the assessee is let out but after discontinuing the business activity of the textile mill then the rental income cannot be treated as income from house property however the same would be assessed as income from other sources.
The credit of TDS deducted and deposited in the old name and old PAN No. and the credit of the same was not given to the assessee on account of mismatch, though entity is the same.
These are appeals filed by the assessee-company directed against the assessment orders dated 24.12.2014, 17.12.2015 and 30.11.2016 for the assessment years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 respectively u/s. 143(3) r.w.s. 144C of the Act by the Deputy Commissioner of Income-tax / Assistant Commissioner of Income-tax, Circle-4(1)(1), Bangalore.
