The Tribunal ruled that completion of assessment after search, despite statutory abatement, is impermissible. Jurisdiction shifts exclusively to Section 153A proceedings.
The Tribunal found that key evidences furnished by the assessee were not adequately considered by lower authorities. The issue was restored to ensure fair examination and compliance with natural justice.
The issue was whether DRP cases escape the outer limitation under section 153. The Tribunal held that section 153 continues to apply and quashed the assessment as time-barred.
This case addressed the allowability of commission paid to non-resident agents without TDS. The Tribunal held that since the income was not chargeable to tax in India and agents had no PE, Section 40(a)(i) could not be invoked.
The issue was whether an assessment is valid when notice under Section 143(2) is issued by an officer lacking pecuniary jurisdiction. The Tribunal held such notice invalid and quashed the assessment as void ab initio.
It was ruled that the bar on fresh claims applies only to assessing officers, not appellate bodies. A valid Section 54F claim must be examined on merits during appeal.
This case involved reassessment completed without serving the mandatory scrutiny notice. The Tribunal ruled that such omission is not a curable defect and invalidates the proceedings. The decision reinforces strict adherence to statutory safeguards.
The case questioned whether a cooperative banks audited expenses could be disallowed on a percentage basis for alleged non-compliance. The Tribunal ruled against arbitrary disallowance without defects in accounts.
This case involved a ₹1 crore cash deposit treated as unexplained by tax authorities. The Tribunal ruled that since the deposit was sourced from earlier withdrawals, the addition was unsustainable.
It was held that documented capital contributions supported by affidavits, bank records, and land evidence are explained credits. Assessing authorities cannot disregard undisputed financial capacity.
