The ITAT Delhi fully dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, confirming the deletion of both the Rs.8.09 Cr peak credit addition and the Rs.49.54 Lakh interest disallowance after the assessee proved the sufficiency of own capital and commercial expediency. Consequently, the assessee’s cross-objection against the validity of the reassessment was dismissed as infructuous, reinforcing that no addition can be sustained without adequate proof of unexplained income.
The ITAT struck down the Rs. 8.19 crore addition made by the AO under Section 56(2)(viib) by ignoring the assessee’s share valuation based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) method. The decision affirms that the AO lacks the authority to substitute their own value when a recognized method under Rule is used, and the underlying asset valuation is further corroborated by a higher DVO valuation.
ITAT Jabalpur held that disallowance under section 43B of the Income Tax Act on account of non-payment of Rural Infrastructure tax and dead rent needs verification. Accordingly, matter restored to the file of AO.
Provision for customer loyalty points, computed on a scientific and consistent basis, constituted a present and ascertained liability deductible under Section 37(1). Disallowance u/s 14A was deleted since no exempt income was earned during the year.
ITAT Delhi held that notice under section 274 r.w.s. 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act issued without specifying the specific charge or limb i.e. without striking off the irrelevant limb is erroneous. Accordingly, penalty order u/s. 271(1)(c) cannot be sustained.
Where temporary loans received and repaid through banking channels, with identity and creditworthiness of lender proved, the sa,e could not be treated as unexplained cash credits under Section 68. Reliance on third-party statements without cross-examination was invalid.
ITAT Delhi held that assessment under section 153A of the Income Tax Act based on common approval under section 153D of the Income Tax Act is non-est in the eye of law. Hence, the same is liable to be quashed.
The Tribunal held that since the Delhi High Court had restored the Industrial Park’s original Rs. 80 IA approval, the subsequent disallowance based on the quashed withdrawal was invalid. This affirms that a valid judicial ruling overrides the Central Government’s withdrawal order, securing the tax benefit for the taxpayer.
This ITAT Rajkot decision clarifies that when an assessee establishes a clear nexus between past bank withdrawals and subsequent demonetisation cash deposits, the high tax rate under Section 115BBE is not applicable. The Tribunal, citing a Gujarat HC judgment, deleted the entire addition except for a 5% estimated profit to balance revenue interest and taxpayer evidence.
The ITAT Delhi dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, ruling that when sales are accepted and only purchases are proven bogus (due to non-existent suppliers/cancelled GST), only the profit element embedded in the purchases can be taxed, not the entire Rs.69C expenditure. The Tribunal upheld the application of the assessee’s own 1.39% Gross Profit rate on the bogus purchases, rejecting the AO’s arbitrary 25% addition.
