Indian City Properties Limited Vs PCIT (ITAT Kolkata) The Tribunal held that the invocation of Section 263 on the proposal of the AO is not sustainable under the Act, as the PCIT failed to independently apply his mind and record satisfaction of the twin conditions. The assessment was completed under Section 143(3) r.w.s. 144B after […]
The Tribunal ruled that non-compliance with the faceless reassessment scheme strikes at jurisdiction itself. JAO-issued notices post-notification were held legally unsustainable.
ITAT Chandigarh held that initiation of revisionary proceeding under section 263 of the Income Tax Act for non-verification of notional interest cannot be justified since notional interest is not liable to be taxed in current year but is taxable only upon maturity hence there cannot be any evasion of tax.
The Court set aside a rectification rejection passed before the scheduled hearing date, holding that Section 154(3) requires a prior opportunity of hearing. The matter was remanded for fresh consideration in compliance with natural justice.
The Court held that reassessment was invalid where deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) was lawfully claimed by a co-operative society. It ruled that interest from co-operative banks remains deductible when the assessee is not a co-operative bank.
The Tribunal held that cash deposits representing trading receipts cannot be taxed in full as unexplained income. Only the estimated profit portion was directed to be assessed.
The Tribunal ruled that section 220(2) interest cannot be charged where the original demand notice showed nil demand, holding that interest arises only after a valid section 156 notice.
The Tribunal ruled that the appellate authority erred by admitting new documents without a Rule 46A application or giving the Assessing Officer a chance to rebut them.
The issue was whether reassessment and appellate orders could stand when participation was ineffective and grounds remained undecided. The Tribunal ruled that justice required restoration of the case to the Assessing Officer.
The tribunal held that reassessment beyond three years is invalid when alleged escaped income is below Rs. 50 lakh. Notices issued contrary to section 149 after the 2021 amendments were quashed for lack of jurisdiction.
