The Pune ITAT quashed a Section 263 revision, holding that interest earned by a credit society from deposits in co-operative banks qualifies for the Section 80P deduction as part of business income. The ruling affirms that the AO’s acceptance of the claim, being a plausible view based on precedents, cannot be set aside merely because the PCIT holds a different opinion.
The ITAT Mumbai restored a long-term capital gains case to the AO to freshly verify additional documents, including BMC certificates, submitted to substantiate a Rs.1.41 crore claim for cost of improvement on a property sale. The Tribunal acknowledged that BMC and architect records can decisively corroborate construction claims on old properties, overriding the prior technical rejection.
The ITAT Pune ruled that a reassessment initiated under sec.147/148, even for non-filers who later filed a return, is void ab initio if the mandatory 143(2) notice is not issued. The Tribunal set aside the cash deposit addition and remanded the matter for fresh adjudication, reinforcing that 143(2) notice is a jurisdictional requirement.
ITAT Chennai found it impermissible for the Department to levy a S 271B penalty after accepting the assessee’s income as commission business in the scrutiny assessment. The key takeaway is that the Department cannot take a divergent stand on the nature of receipts (commission vs. turnover) in penalty proceedings.
Judicial precedent from Karnataka HC confirms that Assessing Officer must provide not less than seven days to an assessee to respond to a show-cause notice under Section 148A(b). Failure to comply renders the notice and all subsequent reassessment steps, including the order and penalty notice, invalid.
ITAT Chennai allowed AM International Holdings’ claim for ₹60.94 lakh software expenses, ruling that the reimbursement paid to a group company, Tamil Nadu Petroproducts Ltd., for terminating an unsatisfactory IT contract was a legitimate business expenditure under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The Karnataka High Court set aside the PCIT’s rejection of a condonation delay application for late online Form 68 filing. The court adopted a justice-oriented view, directing a fresh, liberal reconsideration, as the taxpayer’s manual compliance was timely and the error was bona fide.
The Mumbai ITAT upheld the deletion of a disallowance for bad debts, confirming that deductions under Sections 36(1)(vii) and 36(1)(viia) are independent. The ruling followed the Supreme Court’s precedent, allowing the entire bad debt written off since no double deduction was claimed.
Ahmedabad ITAT quashes reassessments based on ACB report, ruling the AO lacked independent “reason to believe” and only used borrowed satisfaction. A void assessment cannot be revised under Section 263.
