Karnataka High Court held that vocational training qualifies as education under section 2(15) of the Income Tax Act. Exemption under section 11 of the Income Tax Act allowed since surplus generated is used only for educational purposes. Accordingly, writ allowed.
The Court held that a final GST adjudication order passed within three months of the show cause notice violates Section 73 of the CGST Act. Orders issued without granting the statutory minimum response period were declared unsustainable.
The issue was whether a final assessment could stand when objections were filed before the DRP but not considered by the AO. The Court ruled that such an order violates the scheme of section 144C and must be set aside.
The Court held that interest under reverse charge cannot be recovered without prior adjudication. Coercive recovery was set aside as the liability was not an admitted tax.
The issue was a municipal demand raised without prior notice. The Court accepted the authority’s statement to treat it as a show cause notice and ensure a hearing before any final decision.
The issue was whether reassessment could proceed when financial statements were not called for despite the taxpayer’s willingness to furnish them. The court set aside the notice, holding that lack of proper opportunity vitiated the reopening.
The Court held that reassessment based on a retrospective amendment to Section 80HHC is invalid. The key takeaway is that such amendments cannot reopen concluded assessments.
The issue was denial of a discharge certificate despite timely payment under the Sabka Viswas Scheme. The Court ruled that authorities must issue the certificate once payment is admitted, even if the portal is defunct.
The court upheld dismissal of a GST appeal filed well beyond the permissible condonation period. It ruled that neither appellate authorities nor writ courts can extend limitation beyond what the statute allows.
