The Hyderabad ITAT held that purchases cannot be treated as bogus merely because the supplier failed to respond to a notice under Section 133(6). The Tribunal deleted the addition after finding supporting invoices, confirmations, and banking records on record.
ITAT Delhi held that the assessee was covered under the search proceedings even though its name did not specifically appear in the panchnama because the warrant referred to “& Ors.” The Tribunal therefore upheld jurisdiction under Section 153A.
Court ruled that reassessment notices under Section 148 must be issued through the faceless mechanism under Section 151A and the 2022 Scheme. Notice issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer was held invalid and quashed.
ITAT Hyderabad held that addition of Rs. 13 lakh under Section 69A through rectification proceedings exceeded the scope of Section 154. The Tribunal ruled that issues requiring detailed factual examination cannot be treated as mistakes apparent from record.
ITAT Delhi ruled that the holding period for capital gains purposes began from the date of full payment and transfer of possession under the agreement to sell, not the later registration date. The property was therefore treated as a long-term capital asset.
Relying on its earlier ruling in the assessee’s own case, the Tribunal held that gross profit should be estimated at 0.40% rather than 2% of turnover. The order emphasised consistency in estimation across assessment years.
The Supreme Court held that interest paid on borrowed funds was deductible under Section 36(1)(iii) because the loan was used for business purposes. The Court ruled that commercial expediency and composite business operations justified the deduction claim.
The Nagpur ITAT held that exemption under Section 54B requires evidence of active agricultural operations and not merely agricultural classification in revenue records. The assessee’s failure to produce supporting evidence led to denial of exemption.
The Telangana High Court refused to entertain a writ petition challenging an income tax intimation under Section 143(1) because it was filed after more than five years. The Court held that extraordinary delay and laches made the writ petition not maintainable.
The Kolkata ITAT held that advances received from flat purchasers in the ordinary course of a real-estate business cannot be treated as unexplained cash credits. The Tribunal ruled that such advances were genuine business liabilities regularly adjusted against sales.
