The case examined whether ex-parte assessment and appellate orders could stand without merit-based adjudication. The Tribunal held that failure to decide all grounds violates natural justice and ordered a fresh assessment.
The issue concerned denial of depreciation for want of year-wise details and WDV computation. The Tribunal held that the claim requires fresh examination and remanded the matter for de novo assessment.
The issue was dismissal of an appeal for delay without examining merits. The Tribunal held that a bona fide misunderstanding of limitation can justify condonation and remanded the matter for fresh adjudication.
The ITAT emphasised that dismissal of appeals without dealing with substantive grounds is legally untenable. NFAC was directed to rehear the reassessment appeals after granting reasonable opportunity.
The Tribunal ruled that CIT(A) must pass a speaking order addressing all grounds raised. Failure to do so vitiates the appellate order, regardless of assessee’s non-compliance.
ITAT Dehradun held that dismissing an appeal without addressing all grounds contravenes natural justice and remanded the matter to CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.

The Tribunal clarified two key issues: depreciation on assets received in demerger and PF/ESI contribution disallowances. Revenue’s appeal was dismissed for AY 2017-18, while the assessee’s appeal for AY 2024-25 was partly allowed. This decision reinforces consistency in asset-related claims and practical application of Section 36(1)(va).
The Tribunal ruled that Section 271(1)(c) penalty cannot be imposed on estimated income. While the penalty on actual taxable additions remains, the portion related to estimated income was deleted. Key takeaway: penalties require confirmed income, not mere estimates.
The ITAT Dehradun set aside a penalty under Section 270A, holding that the Assessing Officer failed to specify the exact clause of misreporting invoked. The penalty was declared invalid and deleted.
