TAT Kolkata ruled that reopening based on unverified foreign information amounted to borrowed satisfaction. Since the sanctioning authority granted approval mechanically, the reassessment was declared void.
The Tribunal clarified that dismissal of an SLP does not amount to declaration of law under Article 141. It distinguished prior rulings and held that defective penalty notices invalidate the levy.
The ITAT Bangalore held that the entire cost of construction claimed by the assessee while computing capital gains on sale of property could not be outrightly disallowed merely due to lack of complete supporting documents.
The ITAT Bangalore held that reopening of assessment was invalid as it was based on an incorrect assumption that the assessee had claimed bogus long-term capital gains (LTCG) from penny stock transactions.
The ITAT Bangalore held that cash received as part of sale consideration for immovable property does not automatically attract penalty under Section 271D if reasonable cause is established under Section 273B.
The ITAT Bangalore held that penalty under Section 271FAA cannot be imposed mechanically where delay in filing the correction statement of financial transactions (Form 61A) is caused by genuine technical and administrative difficulties.
The Tribunal held that revision under Section 263 is invalid where the Assessing Officer examined records and adopted a plausible view. Mere disagreement or desire for further enquiry is insufficient.
ITAT condoned a 106-day delay considering the assessees senior citizen status and bona fide reasons. On merits, it restored the capital gains issue to the Assessing Officer for de novo verification.
Although stamp law generally places registration costs on buyers, the Tribunal held that parties may contract otherwise. Since the sale deed clearly assigned the burden to the seller, the ₹5.47 lakh disallowance was deleted.
The ruling confirms that transactions with banks involve third parties, defeating the identity required for mutuality. While sustaining taxability, the Tribunal permitted a 5% estimated expense deduction to compute real income.
