The Tribunal held that operational suspension and status quo directions do not permit nil valuation of stock. Proper valuation is mandatory under the mercantile system.
The ITAT held that once an assessee’s premises are searched, proceedings must be under Section 153A. Invoking Section 153C in such cases is a jurisdictional error.
ITAT observed that non-deliberate delay caused by administrative difficulties should not bar access to justice. Relying on Supreme Court precedents, the appeal was revived for merit-based adjudication.
ITAT Delhi held that without a clear and direct connection between the facts and the alleged escapement of income, the reasons recorded remains speculative, therefore, the reopening cannot be justified. Accordingly, appeal allowed to that extent.
The ITAT held that reassessment issued after three years is void if approval is taken from an incompetent authority. Wrong sanction under section 151 renders the entire reopening unsustainable in law.
The Tribunal ruled that unexplained money provisions cannot be applied on conjectures when the source of cash is reasonably explained. With no dispute on withdrawals and savings, the demonetisation-period addition failed on merits.
The Tribunal considered reliance on investigation wing inputs alleging non-genuine entities. It ruled that adverse material must be shared with the assessee and corroborated through proper enquiry before sustaining additions.
The Tribunal admitted a gift deed filed for the first time before it, noting that the donor was no longer alive. The ₹26.36 lakh addition was remanded for verification of the deed and surrounding circumstances.
The ITAT held that rejecting Rule 11UA valuation without verifying exclusions of non-realisable assets violates natural justice. Valuation additions were remanded for fresh examination, stressing non-mechanical application of deeming provisions.
ITAT Hyderabad held LIBOR + 200 basis points is an appropriate rate of interest on outstanding trade receivables interest of bank short term deposit rate. Accordingly, TPO directed to compute interest on outstanding receivables by applying LIBOR + 200 basis points.
