Applying the test of human probabilities, the Tribunal ruled that unexplained abnormal sales could not be fully accepted. At the same time, absence of book defects warranted estimation instead of outright section 68 taxation.
The Tribunal ruled that CIT(A) exceeded jurisdiction by remanding a completed scrutiny assessment. The decision clarifies that remand powers apply only to Section 144 assessments, not regular ones.
The issue was whether a regular assessment could survive once section 153C was triggered for a non-searched person. The Tribunal ruled that pending scrutiny abates, making an assessment under section 143(3) void from inception.
The issue was whether reassessment can stand on an unsigned notice under Section 148. ITAT held that an unsigned notice confers no jurisdiction, rendering the reassessment void ab initio.
ITAT Delhi held that cash is duly recorded in the books of accounts hence addition of the same under section 69A of the Income Tax Act as unexplained money. Accordingly, addition rightly deleted by CIT(A). Appeal of the revenue dismissed.
The Tribunal set aside an addition made only on documents seized from a builder during search proceedings. The ruling underscores that independent evidence against the assessee is mandatory.
The issue was whether depreciation can be claimed on BOT road projects. ITAT upheld depreciation, rejecting mere amortisation under the CBDT circular.
The issue was whether common and ritualistic approval under section 153D can sustain search assessments. ITAT held that mechanical approval without independent application of mind vitiates the entire proceedings.
The Tribunal held that revision under section 263 cannot introduce issues outside the original limited scrutiny mandate. The key takeaway is that the PCIT cannot widen the inquiry beyond CASS-selected parameters.
The Tribunal held that cash deposits arising from genuine sales already recorded in books cannot be taxed again as unexplained money. The key takeaway is that such additions amount to impermissible double taxation.
