The Tribunal held that when sales are accepted and purchases are unverifiable, only the embedded profit can be taxed. Full disallowance of purchases was found unsustainable.
The issue was whether additions could survive when no incriminating material was found during search proceedings. The court upheld the Tribunal’s view that Section 153A jurisdiction was invalid, leading to dismissal of the appeal.
The issue was whether alleged non-genuine purchases justified higher additions despite accepted sales. The Tribunal held that only the profit element can be taxed when purchases are not treated as wholly bogus.
The Tribunal held that purchases supported by invoices, e-way bills, banking payments, and valid GST registration at the time of supply cannot be treated as bogus. Subsequent GST cancellation and non-response by suppliers were held insufficient to justify disallowance.
ITAT held that section 69 cannot be invoked where purchases are duly recorded in books and paid through banking channels, making the reassessment unsustainable.
The Tribunal held that purchases cannot be fully disallowed merely on suspicion and supplier deficiencies. The issue was remanded for fresh verification in light of GST findings.
The Tribunal held that additions under section 68 cannot be sustained merely on statements recorded during a third-party survey under section 133A. In absence of independent enquiry, corroborative evidence, or cross-examination, such statements have no evidentiary value.
The case addressed whether recorded purchases of ₹4.55 crore could still be treated as unexplained income. The Tribunal held that without evidence of off-book investments, section 69 has no application.
ITAT Delhi held that Section 69C cannot be invoked when purchases are recorded in books, paid through banking channels, and sources are explained. Estimated profit addition of 12.5% was deleted.
The High Court held that once the Revenue accepted partial relief on bogus purchases, further reduction by the ITAT involved only estimation and raised no substantial question of law.
