The AO mechanically reopened the case and made a 2.86 crore addition based only on an investigation alert, without being able to identify the alleged property. The ITAT upheld the quashing of the entire proceeding, ruling that simple reproduction of external information, without independent application of mind or tangible evidence, invalidates the reassessment notice.
The AO made a protective addition of Rs. 9.70 crore based solely on the uncorroborated statement of a seller recorded during a search. The ITAT deleted the addition, ruling that a bare Section 132(4) statement without any corroborative evidence (like seized material, book entries, or proof of delivery) is insufficient to prove the cash transaction against a third party.
Ahmedabad ITAT set aside an ex-parte order confirming ₹1.63 Cr tax additions against a real estate operator, ruling that the CIT(A) failed to consider the assessee’s written submissions and the AO’s Remand Report.
The Ahmedabad ITAT set aside a ₹1 lakh penalty under Section 271BA, ruling that failure to electronically file the Form 3CEB transfer pricing report was a mere technical and procedural default. Crucially, the report was prepared before the search and later physically filed with the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO).
The Chandigarh ITAT upheld the deletion of a ₹3.18 Crore disallowance under Section 40A(3), ruling that the large cash payment for land purchase was dictated by business expediency due to high mistrust and a prior dispute, despite exceeding the banking limits.
The ITAT dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, affirming that the ₹4.17 Crore TDS penalty order was invalid as it was passed over two years after the expiry of the statutory limitation period (June 30, 2014). This ruling reinforces that the limitation clock starts when the AO initiates the penalty in the assessment order.
The Delhi ITAT quashed a ₹42.10 Crore addition made in a Section 153A assessment, confirming that additions cannot be made to completed assessments without incriminating material seized during the search. The ruling follows the binding Supreme Court precedent in Abhisar Buildwell.
In a case involving unexplained cash deposits, ITAT Agra restored appeal to AO, emphasizing need to examine documentary evidence of sale proceeds from agricultural land before confirming additions.
Hyderabad ITAT ruled that the Rs.153C notice against VPR Mining for AY 2018-19 was void ab initio. The court held that without incriminating material pertaining to the relevant year, an assessment based solely on external GST data, independent of the original search and seizure, is invalid.
ITAT Chennai restored a lakh addition made u/s 115BBC to a trust, granting one chance to furnish complete donor details (name, address, PAN, and mode of receipt).
