The ITAT held that excise-duty exemption for backward-area units is capital in nature since the incentive aims at industrial growth, not business profits. The ruling protects such incentives from tax under normal and AMT provisions.
ITAT held that once investments were accepted in prior assessments, their sale proceeds cannot be treated as unexplained income. The ruling confirms that Section 68 cannot be invoked without fresh incriminating evidence.
ITAT Mumbai held that once the assessee proved repayment of ₹1 crore via banking channels, Revenue must first disprove the evidence before invoking sections 68 or 69C. Both the addition and related interest disallowance of ₹3.78 lakh were deleted.
The Tribunal remanded the appeal after the CIT(A) did not consider additional evidence filed under Rule 46A. The assessee can now submit confirmations to substantiate claims. Key takeaway: procedural lapses should not prevent merit-based adjudication.
The Tribunal held that DCF valuation cannot be discarded merely because projections differ from actual results. AO’s failure to refer the matter to a Valuation Officer rendered the Section 56(2)(viib) addition unsustainable.
ITAT Chandigarh deleted ₹38.70 Lakh addition as unexplained expenditure, holding that fully bank-routed agricultural expenses cannot be disallowed merely due to missing bills. The Tribunal confirmed that legitimate orchard expenses on labor, fertilizers, and packing are deductible from agricultural income.
The Tribunal directed the AO to verify conditions for exemption of receipts from tribal-area schools, confirming the Trust’s eligibility. The ruling reinforces that factual verification cannot override established charitable purposes and exemptions.
The Court held that interest paid for delayed Agricultural Income Tax cannot be deducted under Section 37. Since AIT itself is not deductible, the related interest also fails eligibility. The ruling confirms that such payments do not qualify as business expenditure.
Tribunal quashed penalty where AO’s addition for alleged bogus purchases was purely estimated, emphasizing that penalties require concrete evidence of income concealment.
The Tribunal allowed sales commission payments to family members engaged in company operations, deleting disallowances. The ruling emphasizes that commission need not be tied to individual sales but to services rendered. It sets a precedent for assessing commission to related parties in business operations.
