The tribunal upheld deletion of ₹45 crore additions where losses from share transactions were disallowed as bogus. It held that all transactions were recorded, disclosed, and supported by evidence.
ITAT held that the Assessing Officer made a ₹50 lakh addition solely on estimation without any supporting material, and deleted the addition as no evidence linked the assessee to alleged bogus share transactions.
ITAT Delhi held that reassessment for AY 2010-11 was invalid since it exceeded the ten-year limitation from the search year. The notice was declared time-barred and issued without jurisdiction.
TAT Delhi held that a 153C assessment for AY 2012–13 was invalid, as the six-year block must be counted from date of satisfaction recorded by AO of non-searched person.
ITAT Delhi held that a seized document mentioning ₹18 lakh could not, without corroboration, be treated as undisclosed income of Krishna Gopal Saraf, deleting the addition.
The ITAT held that the Assessing Officer cannot discard a registered valuer’s report without referring the matter to a Departmental Valuation Officer. The AO’s addition was set aside, and the fair market value must be recomputed based on the valuer’s report.
Kerala High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging a Section 153C assessment, ruling that the ITAT had already addressed the Abhisar Buildwell Supreme Court judgment. Since the ITAT order contained a finding on the judgment’s applicability, the assessee’s only recourse was a statutory appeal under Section 260A.
The ITAT Delhi deleted additions made under Section 153A for unabated/completed assessment years (AYs 2013-14 to 2016-17) following a search. The ruling strictly applied the Supreme Court’s mandate in Abhisar Buildwell that additions in completed years require the finding of incriminating material during the search.
ITAT Chennai upheld that immovable property transfers within family through registered settlement deeds are exempt under Section 56(2)(x). The AO’s view that such transfers were non-bona-fide was rejected.
