The Tribunal quashed the reassessment after finding that the assessee had already filed the return under Section 139 before issuance of the notice. The key takeaway is that jurisdiction under Section 147 cannot be assumed on erroneous facts.
The Tribunal ruled that the Revenue cannot assess the full transaction value in the hands of a confirming party absent proof of beneficial ownership. The decision underscores the importance of establishing actual receipt of consideration.
The Delhi ITAT held that repeated non-compliance with statutory notices transformed the reassessment into a best judgment assessment in substance. Consequently, the CIT(A) was justified in remanding the matter to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
The Karnataka High Court quashed an assessment order after finding that allegations concerning 119 apartment sales were introduced without prior notice during Section 148A proceedings. The Court granted the taxpayer an opportunity to submit a detailed response before fresh consideration.
The Bombay High Court held that reassessment proceedings could not be initiated on the issue of broken period interest when the legal position had already been settled by binding precedents. The Court quashed the notices issued under Sections 148A and 148.
The Chennai ITAT ruled that indexation benefits under Section 48 cannot be denied when construction details are already part of the registered sale deed. The Tribunal held that annexures forming part of the sale deed cannot be treated as additional evidence.
The Tribunal ruled that reassessment proceedings initiated on the basis of an invalid Section 148 notice were void ab initio. It observed that where jurisdiction itself is lacking, the proper course is to annul the proceedings rather than remand the matter. The decision underscores the mandatory nature of statutory limitation periods.
The Revenue disallowed loan repayments alleging double deduction of charitable expenditure. The Tribunal ruled that documentary evidence established that no double claim had been made and directed deletion of the addition.
The issue was whether expenditure could be disallowed under Section 14A read with Rule 8D when the assessee had not earned any exempt income during the relevant year.
The ITAT held that once registration under Section 12AB was ultimately granted on the basis of the original application, the doctrine of relating back applied. As a result, exemption under Sections 11 and 12 could not be denied for the relevant assessment year.
