The Tribunal ruled that exemption for charitable trusts cannot be denied merely due to belated filing of Form 10B. It reaffirmed that the requirement is directory, not mandatory, when the audit report is eventually furnished.
The Tribunal ruled that cash deposited during demonetisation came from genuine business sales already offered to tax. It held that taxing the same amount again under Section 68 and Section 115BBE would amount to impermissible double taxation.
The addition was set aside as no cash was found, traced, or shown to be received by the assessee. Mere suspicion or inference cannot substitute proof under section 69A.
The Tribunal held that estimating commission income without corroborative evidence is unsustainable. Audited accounts and consistent interest income showed genuine business activity, leading to deletion of the addition.
The Tribunal held that income tax appeals cannot continue during CIRP, as the IBC moratorium bars parallel proceedings. Claims not forming part of an approved resolution plan cannot be pursued.
The Tribunal examined the validity of reopening and multiple expense disallowances. While relief was granted on cash payments and reimbursed interest, statutory interest on taxes was held to be non-deductible.
The Assessing Officer made an ALP adjustment on interest despite the assessee having already added back the full amount under thin capitalization rules. The Tribunal ruled that TP provisions cannot be applied where no expenditure is claimed.
ITAT held that penalties under sections 271D and 271E cannot survive once the underlying additions are deleted. The ruling confirms that penalties collapse with the quantum.
Alleged additions for suppressed sales, disallowances, and capital gains were rendered void once the revision order was quashed. The case underscores the doctrine of consequential invalidity.
The Tribunal held that a notice under Section 143(2) issued by a non-jurisdictional officer vitiates the entire assessment. In the absence of a valid jurisdictional transfer, the reassessment was declared non-est in law.
