ITAT Chennai struck down a protective addition of ₹14.91 Cr made u/s 69, citing invalid u/s 153C jurisdiction. No substantive assessment existed in the companies’ hands for AY 2014-15, reinforcing that protective additions require year-wise satisfaction and corroborative evidence.
ITAT held that managing multiple bank accounts justified salary expenses claimed under Section 57(iii). The ruling restores full deduction and reinforces that recurring administrative costs can be allowable against interest income.
The ₹8.49 lakh credited for household expenditure from husband was deleted as non-taxable. The unexplained ₹17.80 lakh in the capital account is sent back to the AO for proper verification and opportunity to furnish evidence.
ITAT held reassessment invalid where AO acted on belated return without issuing mandatory 143(2) notice. Entire reassessment under sections 144/147 was quashed despite late filing of return.
The Tribunal held that delay in submitting Form 10B is curable, allowing the trust to claim income application under Section 11(1)(a) as it was filed prior to completion of assessment proceedings.
Tribunal invalidates reassessment where AO relied on incorrect data and PCIT granted mere Yes approval. Highlights importance of independent application of mind under Sections 147/148/151.
ITAT Ahmedabad set aside the ex-parte CIT(A) order where notices were sent to a wrong email ID, causing non-receipt by the assessee. The matter, including Sec.69A addition and denial of cross-examination, was remitted to CIT(A) for fresh adjudication on merits.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that speculative intraday trades are genuine and not accommodation entries. Additions under Section 68 totaling ₹1.25 crore and ₹1.53 lakh were deleted due to lack of foundational facts and proper inquiry.
The Tribunal held that unsecured loans cannot be treated as unexplained when identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness are fully documented. Since the AO ignored evidence and relied only on non-appearance, the addition was deleted.
ITAT held that cash deposits during demonetization were explained through duly recorded cash sales supported by VAT returns and stock records. Key takeaway: When books are accepted, cash sales cannot be treated as unexplained.
