The tribunal held that an ex parte assessment involving large unexplained bank credits required fresh adjudication. The matter was remanded to the Assessing Officer with one final opportunity to the assessee.
The Tribunal held that deduction under section 80P cannot be allowed without a timely return but restored the matter to enable condonation under the CBDT circular.
The Tribunal ruled that repeated reopening cannot survive where statutory timelines are breached. A reassessment initiated beyond the permissible surviving period was quashed in entirety.
The Tribunal held that issuing a Section 143(2) notice is compulsory once a return is filed under Section 148. Absence of such notice vitiates jurisdiction and nullifies the reassessment.
The assessing authority made a large addition without explaining its nature or legal basis. The Tribunal ruled that such a cryptic order cannot stand and set aside the addition.
The Tribunal observed that the transfer pricing adjustment was based on unexplained margin calculations. A fresh working was directed to ensure accurate benchmarking of international transactions.
The Tribunal held that reassessment notices issued by the jurisdictional officer violated the mandatory faceless regime under Sections 144B and 151A. Non-compliance with the prescribed faceless procedure renders the entire reassessment void ab initio.
The issue was whether a DRP-based assessment passed after the statutory period survives. The Tribunal held the delay fatal and quashed the assessment in entirety.
The Tribunal held that reopening based on unverified Investigation Wing inputs, factual inconsistencies, and no direct nexus to the assessee’s transactions is invalid. Mechanical reproduction of information cannot sustain reassessment.
The Tribunal confirmed that post-2021 reassessment notices must strictly comply with amended section 151. Non-compliance with the specified approving authority deprives the Assessing Officer of jurisdiction.
