Explains the CBDT notification granting section 10(46) exemption to a district legal services authority and the categories of income covered.
The issue was whether CBDT jewellery instructions could shield bullion found during a search from taxation. The Tribunal held that the instruction applies only to jewellery, not bullion, and upheld the Section 69A addition.
Following judicial criticism of delayed appeals, officers urged structural reforms to fix institutional gaps rather than penalising individual officers.
The Tribunal ruled that an assessment based on a notice issued beyond the AO s pecuniary authority is unsustainable. Compliance with CBDT jurisdiction instructions was held mandatory.
The issue was whether a late return under section 139(4) bars the concessional 22% tax regime. The Tribunal held that timely filing of Form 10IC is sufficient and the benefit cannot be denied on technical grounds.
The High Court held that notices issued under Section 148 by a jurisdictional Assessing Officer were without authority when the faceless assessment scheme applied. Relying on binding precedents, the writ petition was disposed of in favour of the taxpayer, reaffirming NFAC’s exclusive role.
The issue was whether sale proceeds of inherited jewellery could be taxed as unexplained cash credits. The Tribunal held that valuation reports, affidavits, and banking records sufficiently explained the source, leading to deletion of the Section 68 addition.
The Central Government notified an urban development authority under section 10(46A) of the Income-tax Act. The exemption applies from AY 2024–25, subject to continued statutory status and specified functions.
Refunds for AY 2025–26 are being withheld after system-based risk checks detected discrepancies. Taxpayers are advised to review claims and file revised returns to unblock refunds.
