The AO was directed to recompute capital gains based on DVO valuation but had ignored indexation. The Tribunal ruled that recomputation without indexation is legally impermissible.
ITAT Delhi held that the addition of Rs. 73,99,475 as LTCG under Section 10(38) was unjustified, as the assessee provided complete evidence and no direct link to alleged bogus transactions was established.
The Tribunal found that an off-market transaction, by itself, does not establish bogus capital gains when supporting records are intact and no direct involvement in price manipulation is shown. The exemption under Section 10(38) was therefore allowed, rejecting additions under Sections 68 and 69C.
ITAT Raipur allowed the appeal, holding that addition of Rs.11.84 lakh under Section 68 was unsustainable as no direct evidence linked the assessee to alleged share manipulation.
Analyze the ITAT Delhi ruling on whether Section 115BAA applies to long-term capital gains, and understand why special LTCG rates under Sections 112/112A remain intact.
The Tribunal held that Section 87A contains no exclusion for long-term capital gains and allowed the rebate since total income remained below Rs.5 lakhs. The order of the lower authorities was set aside.
The Tribunal held that additions made by treating real estate receipts as capital gains required fresh verification. The case was remanded as the earlier order failed to examine the assessee’s claim of business income under section 44AD.
The ITAT Ahmedabad reversed the CIT(A)’s deletion, upholding the addition of ₹6.73 lakh under Section 69A for bogus Long-Term Capital Gain from Safal Herbs Ltd. shares. The Tribunal ruled that the sudden investment in the obscure scrip, coupled with an unreasonable price rise, defied commercial logic and was an accommodation entry.
The ITAT Mumbai affirmed that when a taxpayer’s sales and stock levels are accepted, the entire value of alleged bogus purchases cannot be disallowed. Following judicial consistency in cases involving the Bhanwarlal Jain Group, the Tribunal restricted the addition to only 3% of the disputed purchase value, representing the estimated profit element.
The ITAT Delhi upheld the deletion of an addition for alleged penny stock LTCG under Section 68, ruling that an assessment for an unabated year under Section 153A requires incriminating material found during the search. Since the addition was based on general analysis, not seized documents, the Revenues appeal was dismissed. The key takeaway affirms the Supreme Courts mandate that completed assessments cannot be disturbed without specific incriminating evidence.
