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.
ITAT Dehradun accepted ₹15 lakh from poplar tree sales as explained income and ruled that Section 115BBE applies prospectively from 1 April 2017. Tribunal granted partial relief, deleting major additions made on demonetisation cash deposits.
ITAT Dehradun held that penalty u/s 271(1)(c) was invalid as the AO failed to specify whether it was for concealment or inaccurate particulars, showing lack of application of mind.
The ITAT Dehradun quashed an entire reassessment, holding the mandatory notice under Section 148 invalid because it was sent to an old postal address and a wrong email ID. The ruling confirms that non-service of the foundational notice renders all subsequent proceedings void ab initio.
The ITAT Dehradun ruled that deposits in employees’ bank accounts, even when handled by the business, cannot be treated as the employer’s unexplained income under Section 69A. Following a precedent in the assessee’s own case, the Tribunal confirmed these amounts belong to the employees.
