The tribunal held that assessment under section 153C cannot be initiated without seized material belonging to or relating to the assessee. Third-party statements and assumptions, without incriminating evidence, were held insufficient to confer jurisdiction
The Tribunal held that reassessment proceedings are invalid where notices are issued by the Jurisdictional AO instead of the Faceless AO. Non-compliance with the faceless scheme renders the entire process void.
The ruling clarifies that unsecured loans taken and repaid during the same year through banking channels cannot be treated as unexplained credits. Proper documentation and repayment negate allegations of bogus loans
Holding in favour of the assessee, the Tribunal clarified that high-rate taxation under section 115BBE requires clear proof of bogus receipts. Suspicion based on third-party searches is insufficient.
The Tribunal held that additions in a search assessment cannot survive without incriminating material. Mere repetition of an annulled earlier assessment was found legally unsustainable.
The decision reiterates that the Revenue must prove that borrowed funds were actually used for non-business purposes. In absence of such proof, interest paid to banks remains allowable.
It was ruled that once books are accepted, expenses supported by ledgers, vouchers, and bank payments cannot be disallowed on suspicion. Ad-hoc estimation without rejecting books was held invalid.
The ruling emphasizes that statements relied upon by the Revenue must be confronted to the assessee with an opportunity of cross-examination. Failure to do so renders additions legally unsustainable.
The ruling clarifies that mere reproduction of third-party information alleging disproportionate assets is insufficient. The Assessing Officer must clearly identify escaped income and apply independent reasoning.
