The Tribunal held that a generic, non-specific satisfaction note and the absence of incriminating material belonging to the assessee-company rendered the Section 153C proceedings invalid from the outset.1 Consequently, the entire assessment, including additions for commission income, was quashed.
The Tribunal allowed the taxpayer’s legal ground, holding that the statutory requirement of prior approval under Section 153D was reduced to an empty formality. The ruling emphasizes that the approval must indicate due application of mind to the seized material and issues for each assessment year and cannot be a generic, consolidated format.
The ITAT dismissed an assessee’s quantum appeal, confirming that a ₹10.42 Cr write-off for decommissioned windmills was a capital loss, not a revenue deduction. Since the trust offered this as business income, the ITAT held the only permissible treatment was adjustment in the block of assets.
The ITAT set aside a Section 69A addition for unexplained cash payments, ruling that the AO must first verify the facts. The case was remanded because the assessee claimed an original allottee made the payment but failed to provide the plot’s transfer agreement as proof.
The ITAT set aside the PCIT’s revision order, confirming that the sale of an entire residential building floor-by-floor to different buyers still constitutes the sale of one single house property for Section 54 claim purposes. Since the AO had already examined the capital gains claim in detail, the assessment was neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the Revenue, invalidating the Section 263 proceedings.
The ITAT set aside the PCIT’s revision order, confirming that the revisional power under Section 263 cannot be invoked merely to conduct a deeper inquiry or change a view previously taken by the AO. Since the AO had specifically examined and verified the share’s Fair Market Value (FMV) during the original scrutiny, the assessment was neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the Revenue.
This ruling underscores the mandatory requirement for incriminating material to sustain additions in a Section 153C search assessment, leading to the deletion of a major bogus Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) addition. Furthermore, the ITAT confirmed that a partnership firm’s investment and income cannot be attributed to an individual partner, securing significant tax relief.
The ITAT ruled that seized parallel Tally data, reflecting higher sales and income, constitutes reliable incriminating material, validating assessments made under Section 153A. The tribunal sustained additions for higher gross profit and unexplained credits after the taxpayer failed to disprove the parallel records’ accuracy, reinforcing the presumption under Section 292C.
The ITAT Pune condoned a 631-day delay citing financial seizure under the Mst. Katiji principle, restoring the appeal concerning Rs. 29 Lakh interest disallowance and ad-hoc cash addition back to the CIT(A) for a fresh de novo hearing.
ITAT Jabalpur dismissed the Revenue’s appeal regarding the eligibility of Section 80P deduction for a co-operative society’s Business Correspondent income, citing the CBDT’s revised monetary limit for appeals.
