The Revenue relied on ITS data to allege unexplained cash deposits. The Tribunal ruled that where cash books and stock registers are maintained without defects, such additions are unsustainable.
The issue was whether additions could be made for an unabated year without any seized material. The Tribunal held that in the absence of incriminating evidence found during search, the assessment under section 153A was invalid and liable to be quashed.
The issue was whether revision under Section 263 was valid when the AO allowed Section 80P deduction after enquiry. The tribunal held that a plausible and correct view cannot be revised.
The Assessing Officer accepted multiple loan transactions but treated only one as unexplained. The tribunal held that selective rejection without consistent reasoning was unsustainable.
The Tribunal confirmed that licence fees for use of immovable property fall under house property income. It emphasized that once included in computation, the same amount cannot be added again.
The Tribunal ruled that compensation and hardship allowance received during redevelopment are capital receipts and cannot be taxed as income from other sources.
The issue was whether reassessment initiated by the Jurisdictional AO was valid. The Tribunal held the notice invalid as it violated mandatory faceless assessment procedures, rendering the reassessment void.
The Tribunal distinguished cases of jurisdictional defect and upheld the assessment where the initial notice was lawfully issued. The key takeaway is continuity of valid scrutiny proceedings despite AO change.
Karnataka High Court held that vocational training qualifies as education under section 2(15) of the Income Tax Act. Exemption under section 11 of the Income Tax Act allowed since surplus generated is used only for educational purposes. Accordingly, writ allowed.
ITAT held that share capital additions cannot rest on an inspector’s report not shared with the assessee. Matter remanded for fresh examination in line with natural justice.
