Tribunal held that civil, plumbing and electrical charges paid to builder formed part of the acquisition cost and allowed claim. It held that embedded fixtures qualify for deduction, while travel expenses unrelated to transfer do not.
The Tribunal held that severance pay received on cessation of employment is taxable as “profits in lieu of salary” under Sec.17(3)(iii). Voluntariness or nomenclature of the payment is irrelevant post-2002 statutory amendment.
The Tribunal confirmed that unsecured loans of ₹1.77 crore were genuine, supported by account-payee cheques, NBFC registration, bank statements, and confirmations. AO’s additions were based on presumption and ignored documentary evidence, so the deletions were rightly upheld.
Tribunal ruled that promotional scheme expenses were properly accrued and supported by evidence. Disallowance of ₹16.22 lakh was deleted, allowing assessee’s appeal.
The Tribunal refused to condone an extraordinary delay of 2,590 days, noting absence of evidence supporting the reasons cited for the delay. The appeal was dismissed in limine.
The Court held that interest and related receipts must be treated as business income, not income from other sources. The Tribunal’s order was upheld as no substantial question of law arose.
ITAT Indore held that the registered sale-deed would relate back to and have effect from 26.03.2013 falling with previous year 2012-13 relevant to AY 2013-14 and hence the impugned transaction of sale was taxable in AY 2013-14 and not in 2014-15. Accordingly, reopening of assessment for AY 2014-2015 is illegal and unsustainable.
Tribunal held that Rule 8D disallowance cannot exceed the assessee’s total claimed expenditure and directed restriction of the 14A addition. The ruling clarifies limits on 14A disallowances where expenses are minimal.
ITAT Indore held that the order under section 127 of the Income Tax Act made out by authorities, without serving notice upon assessee, would be invalid and inoperative. Accordingly, action undertaken by AO u/s. 147/148 will also be illegal.
The AO changed the charge from bogus payments to 69A ‘Unaccounted Sales’ without issuing a fresh notice, denying the assessee a proper hearing. ITAT remanded the matter for verification of documentary evidence including invoices, GST returns, and e-way bills.
