Mumbai ITAT clarified that perpetual leasehold rights are equivalent to ownership for the purpose of a specified agreement” under Section 45(5A)/194-IC, requiring 10% TDS on JDA monetary payments.
ITAT Mumbai dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, ruling that a genuine business loss from penny stock trading, supported by contract notes and demat records, cannot be disallowed based solely on a third-party statement or generic investigation report.
The ITAT ruled that crore cash found in a locker during a search was not “unexplained money” because the assessee immediately explained the source as accumulated speculative business income and offered it to tax. The Tribunal held that a disclosed source, even if unrecorded, cannot be forcefully converted into unexplained income.
The Tribunal ruled that the crore addition, made solely because the assessee’s petrol pump was allegedly unauthorized to accept SBNs, was incorrect. Since the cash deposits were sourced from historical, recorded cash sales accepted by the AO, taxing the deposits again would constitute impermissible double taxation.
ITAT Raipur held that addition upheld by CIT(A) without passing a speaking order in the backdrop of documents uploaded by the assessee. Accordingly, matter is restored back to the file of CIT(A) for re-adjudication.
The ITAT quashed the reassessment order as void because the final assessment was completed by an Income Tax Officer (Ward-2) who lacked jurisdiction, while the proceedings were initiated by another officer (Ward-3). The Tribunal, citing the Allahabad High Court, ruled that jurisdiction cannot be waived or conferred by participation.
he ITAT restricted a S.69A addition on ₹1 crore cash deposits, ruling that treating the entire gross receipt as unexplained income was unjustified for a commission agent. Considering the low-margin onion trading business and past assessments, the Tribunal estimated 4% of the deposits as the correct taxable commission income.
The ITAT confirmed the penalty levy, ruling that a subsequent rectification order allowing carry-forward losses doesn’t affect the penalty base. Penalty is tied to the tax evaded on the additions confirmed by the appellate body ( crore), not the final assessed income.
