The Tribunal sustained the addition due to the AO’s rejection of the books under s.145, which was warranted by the assessee’s non-submission of separate purchase/sale and MRP details for country liquor and IMFL. The ITAT found the 10 estimated GP rate reasonable, falling within the normal range for the liquor trade, and confirmed the addition.
ITAT Mumbai deleted a ₹5.10 crore addition made under Section 69A for cash deposits during demonetisation, holding that once sales are recorded, audited, and taxed, further additions based on suspicion or third-party denials are unjustified.
Following the ratio of the Delhi High Court, the ITAT held that the rubber stamp approval {u/s 153D} was non est in law, leading to the quashing of all assessments and the deletion of huge additions made against the assessee. The key takeaway for taxpayers is the success of challenging search assessments on the legal ground of invalid, mechanical u/s 153D approval.
The ITAT voided multiple search assessments because the statutory approval under Section 153D was found to be mechanical and without independent application of mind. The Tribunal emphasized that a single, proforma approval for 42 assessment orders across multiple assessees, lacking specific facts or reasoning, renders the entire assessment void ab initio.
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 Tribunal confirmed a co-operative banks use of a mixed accounting system (mercantile/receipt basis) for NPA interest, prioritizing consistency and adherence to RBI/NABARD prudential norms over the AOs theoretical objection. This ruling solidifies that regulatory requirements trump mechanical accounting changes.
ITAT Hyderabad rules that once income is estimated by rejecting books, no further addition can be made; ₹31.55 lakh added in liquor business case deleted.
ITAT Delhi held that enhancement made by CIT(A) in absence of show cause notice issued under section 251 of the Income Tax Act is wholly unsustainable in law. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and enhancement is quashed.
Reassessment order passed under Section 147/143(3) was quashed on the ground that no notice under Section 143(2) was issued after the assessee filed the return in response to notice under Section 148, rendering the assessment void ab initio.
Delhi ITAT confirms that an AO cannot disallow purchases of Rs.3.82 Cr as bogus (Adventure Resorts And Cruises Pvt. Ltd.) without rejecting the books of accounts under Section 145.
