The Tribunal ruled that additions based on third-party search without giving the assessee a chance to examine evidence violated natural justice, deleting ₹2.04 Cr and ₹64.11 Lakh for AY 2018-19 & 2019-20.
The Tribunal held that the assessee’s delayed filing was bona fide due to disputes and legal ambiguities, and the declared income was fully accepted. No penalty under Section 270A was warranted.
The High Court declined to interfere with a penalty imposed under Section 271(1)(c) after the Department failed to produce a 2008 notice. The Court directed the assessee’s legal heirs to pursue the statutory appeal, noting the factual dispute requires appellate examination.
The ITAT ruled that failure to issue a mandatory Section 143(2) notice and disregarding an e-verified return rendered the reassessment void. The addition of ₹50.50 lakh was deleted.
The High Court held that the Commissioner did not properly apply the wide discretionary powers under section 264. The matter was remanded for fresh consideration in light of the petitioner’s circumstances and submitted records.
The Kerala High Court held that the Commissioner’s suo motu revision under Section 263 was unjustified, confirming that donations to other charitable trusts qualify as application of income under Section 11.
Chhattisgarh High Court held that TCS provisions covered under section 206C(1C) of the Income Tax Act doesn’t apply to amount of compounding fees/ fine that was recovered from illegal miners and transporters of minerals.
Gujarat High Court held that Explanation to section 73(1) of the Income Tax Act cannot be applied to loss on sale of shares which were acquired on conversion of partly convertible debentures. Hence, loss on sale of such shares is not speculation loss and hence set off allowed.
The Court held that a penalty under Section 271(1)(c) could not be imposed while the quantum appeal was still pending before the ITAT. The penalty was stayed for being premature under Section 275(1)(a).
The Tribunal emphasized that an error regarding VRS exemption made by a salaried, non-technical taxpayer cannot be classified as deliberate under-reporting. With no false claim or suppression, the 270A penalty was deleted.
