The ITAT deleted penalties under both Sections 271(1)(c) and 270A, ruling that merely making a bona fide but ultimately unsustainable tax claim under the India-UK DTAA does not attract a penalty. The Tribunal held that a difference in legal interpretation, especially in complex international tax issues, does not constitute concealment or misreporting of income.
The ITAT deleted the disallowance under Section 36(1)(va) for a one-day delay in depositing employees PF contribution. The ruling held that the delay was due to a technical failure of the EPFO portal, not the taxpayers fault, successfully invoking the doctrine of impossibility over the strict ruling in Checkmate Services.
The ITAT confirmed that even where technical jurisdiction exists (i.e., abated years), high-pitched additions must be examined on substantive merits, finding the AOs reliance on conjecture and arbitrary estimations unsustainable. This judgment serves as a strong precedent that mere jurisdiction under Section 153A doesn’t grant a license for evidence-less or double taxation.
The ITAT restored the Section 11 exemption, ruling that the Diamond Bourse’s cost-recovery activities are purely facilitative and do not constitute “trade, commerce, or business” under the restrictive proviso to Section 2(15). The Tribunal held that genuine General Public Utility (GPU) organizations operating on a non-profit, cost-recovery basis are not affected by the amendment.
The ITAT set aside a CIT(A) order that allowed a Section 54B capital gains exemption, because the CIT(A) copied a co-owners case ruling without independently verifying the factual evidence of agricultural use. The Tribunal reiterated that the burden to prove agricultural use rests on the assessee and remanded the matter for a fresh, reasoned decision based on factual findings.
The ITAT upheld the disallowance of delayed employee contributions to PF/ESIC, ruling that the Supreme Courts Checkmate Services judgment is retrospective unless explicitly stated otherwise by the SC itself. The Tribunal confirmed that the doctrine of prospective overruling cannot be invoked by the assessee, as the ruling merely interprets the law as it always existed.
ITAT Raipur held that since order passed by Pr. CIT u/s. 263 is quashed the addition made by AO u/s. 143(3) r.w.s 263 does no more survive. Therefore, appeal of the assessee allowed and addition made by AO liable to be quashed.
Madras High Court held that petitioner has placed on record sufficient evidence proving financial capability of partners for capital contribution. Accordingly, order set aside and matter remanded back for reconsideration.
ITAT Hyderabad held that cash deposit on account of family settlement needs to be proved with documentary evidences like family settlement deed or relinquishment of property right etc. Matter restored with direction to assessee to submit relevant proof.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that deduction u/s. 35(1)(ii) of the Income Tax Act rightly disallowed since donation was given to Arvindo Institute of Applied Scientific Research Trust whose approval expired on 31.03.2006. Accordingly, appeal of assessee dismissed.
