The Tribunal found no infirmity in the CIT(A)s detailed order deleting additions based on proper verification of evidence. All grounds raised by Revenue were rejected, and cross-objection became infructuous.
The Tribunal held that purchases from a foreign supplier were genuine as goods were imported through customs and duly recorded in books. It upheld deletion of addition under Section 68 on this ground.
Additions based on survey-time valuation of machinery were deleted as the Assessing Officer had not rejected the books of account. Prior binding orders in the same case were followed, reaffirming settled law.
The tribunal deleted penalty where the quantum addition was restricted to an estimated profit element. It held that penalty cannot survive without a clear finding of concealment.
ITAT Mumbai quashed reassessment for AY 2017-18 as notice issued after three years lacked mandatory sanction under Section 151(ii), holding approval by Pr.CIT insufficient under post-2021 law.
The issue was whether the full value of alleged bogus purchases could be added to income. The Tribunal upheld that only the profit element embedded in such purchases is taxable, not the entire purchase value.
The Tribunal examined whether entire purchases from untraceable suppliers could be added to income. It held that only the embedded profit element can be taxed, not the full purchase value.
The Tribunal held that when sales are undisputed, entire purchases cannot be disallowed and only the embedded profit can be taxed, upholding a 20% addition.
Validity of reopening and quantum of addition for alleged bogus purchases. Reopening upheld; addition restricted to 5% profit element. Key takeaway: Where sales and quantities are accepted, only embedded profits can be added.
The issue was whether revision could be invoked during a pending appeal. ITAT held that PCIT lacks jurisdiction once the matter is before CIT(A).
