The case addressed overlapping taxation of seized cash and disclosed unaccounted profits. The final ruling emphasized substance over form and deleted the addition by extending telescoping benefits to the partner.
The Tribunal emphasized that registration decisions must consider all relevant evidence. Mechanical rejection without full appraisal was held unsustainable.
The dispute concerned enhancement of house property income based on an unsigned lease found during search. The Tribunal held that such a document has no evidentiary value and cannot support additions.
Since the reassessment itself was quashed, the addition treating long-term capital gains as unexplained cash credit under section 68 automatically failed. Jurisdictional defects were fatal to the assessment.
The Tribunal ruled that maintaining a temple or holding festivals does not disqualify a trust if substantial funds are spent on public welfare. Authorities must examine actual expenditure patterns, not assumptions.
The Tribunal examined demonetisation-period cash deposits and held that prior cash withdrawals supported by bank records could not be disregarded. The ruling clarifies that additions cannot rest on assumptions about personal conduct.
The Tribunal set aside the appellate order after finding that the appeal was not adjudicated on merits. The matter was remanded to ensure proper consideration after granting adequate opportunity of hearing.
The dispute concerned denial of exemption on the ground of alleged business activity. The Tribunal held that once registration under Section 12AA stood restored, exemption under Sections 11 and 12 could not be denied.
The Tribunal held that once business receipts are taxed on an estimated basis, separate additions for payments and assets from the same receipts are impermissible. Only a net-profit estimation was sustained, deleting multiple cascading additions.
The tribunal accepted that allotment confers enforceable capital rights capable of transfer. The ruling clarifies that proceeds from such transfers must be assessed under capital gains, not deemed income.
