The ITAT Pune ruled that a reassessment initiated under sec.147/148, even for non-filers who later filed a return, is void ab initio if the mandatory 143(2) notice is not issued. The Tribunal set aside the cash deposit addition and remanded the matter for fresh adjudication, reinforcing that 143(2) notice is a jurisdictional requirement.
ITAT Chennai found it impermissible for the Department to levy a S 271B penalty after accepting the assessee’s income as commission business in the scrutiny assessment. The key takeaway is that the Department cannot take a divergent stand on the nature of receipts (commission vs. turnover) in penalty proceedings.
ITAT Chennai allowed AM International Holdings’ claim for ₹60.94 lakh software expenses, ruling that the reimbursement paid to a group company, Tamil Nadu Petroproducts Ltd., for terminating an unsatisfactory IT contract was a legitimate business expenditure under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The Mumbai ITAT upheld the deletion of a disallowance for bad debts, confirming that deductions under Sections 36(1)(vii) and 36(1)(viia) are independent. The ruling followed the Supreme Court’s precedent, allowing the entire bad debt written off since no double deduction was claimed.
Ahmedabad ITAT quashes reassessments based on ACB report, ruling the AO lacked independent “reason to believe” and only used borrowed satisfaction. A void assessment cannot be revised under Section 263.
ITAT Lucknow set aside a PCIT’s revisional order under Section 263, ruling it was void due to a violation of natural justice. The PCIT used external adverse material (alleging shell company purchases) against the assessee without providing a chance for rebuttal or considering evidence already filed, making the order invalid.
The ITAT Pune quashed reassessment proceedings, ruling them void ab initio because the requisite approval under Section 151(ii) was granted by the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (PCIT) instead of the Principal Chief Commissioner (PCCIT). This failure to follow the mandatory jurisdictional hierarchy for notices issued after three years vitiated the entire reopening.
ITAT Delhi partly allowed assessee’s appeal, reducing unexplained income from ₹10.08 crore to ₹2.22 crore and lowering commission on inter-mediated transactions from 3% to a fair 1%, emphasizing verification of cash and cheque entries under same code.
ITAT Amritsar condoned the 146-day delay in a senior citizen’s appeal, accepting passport evidence of her absence from India as sufficient cause, and remanded the case for fresh assessment.
