The Gujarat High Court set aside the reassessment after finding that the Assessing Officer failed to provide specific reasons for treating bank credits as unexplained cash credits under Section 68. The matter was remanded for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that CPC could not process the return under Section 143(1) after the Assessing Officer had issued a notice under Section 143(2). It ruled that parallel proceedings under Sections 143(1) and 143(3) were not permissible.
Tribunal ruled that an unsigned and uncorroborated loose sheet lacking essential transaction details could not form the sole basis for an addition. It held that documentary evidence and purchasers’ statements rebutted the presumption arising from the seized document.
ITAT Delhi held that where the variation between the issue price and fair market value is within the 10% safe harbour under Rule 11UA, the issue price is deemed to be the FMV. The addition under Section 56(2)(viib) was therefore deleted.
ITAT Delhi held that a notice under Section 143(2) issued by a non-jurisdictional Assessing Officer without a valid transfer order under Section 127 rendered the assessment invalid. The assessment was quashed without examining the merits.
The ITAT held that the royalty and FTS adjustment was excessive and directed the Assessing Officer to apply the 1.9% rate accepted by the CBDT under the Unilateral Advance Pricing Agreement. It treated the APA principles as having persuasive value for determining the arm’s length price.
The Tribunal held that Rule 11UA gives the assessee the exclusive option to choose the valuation method for unquoted shares. While the AO may examine the DCF valuation, he cannot discard it and adopt the NAV method on his own.
The ITAT held that Section 263 cannot be invoked where the Assessing Officer has made necessary inquiries and adopted a plausible view. It quashed the revision order after finding no lack of investigation into the related-party transaction.
The article explains that 30 June is the Department’s deadline to issue scrutiny notices for eligible returns, not a filing deadline for taxpayers. It also clarifies what a Section 143(2) notice actually means.
A belated filing of Form 3CLA was a curable procedural defect and could not deprive an assessee of weighted deduction under section 35(2AB) where the substantive conditions for allowance of the deduction stand fulfilled.
