Understand the three core processes of Indian Income Tax: Rectification of mistakes (Sec 154), the four types of Assessment (Summary, Scrutiny, Best Judgment, and Reassessment), and the Appeal mechanism to CIT(A)/ITAT against adverse orders.
The Kolkata ITAT allowed Winner Tradecom Pvt. Limited’s appeal, deleting a ₹15 lakh addition made under Section 68 for an alleged credit from a shell company.
Himachal Pradesh High Court refuses to decide on the jurisdiction of Section 148 Income Tax notices for AY 2020-21 as a similar issue is pending before the Supreme Court; proceedings are stayed.
The Kerala High Court restored an income tax appeal for ‘Sea Castle An Ayurvedic and Leisure Hotel,’ which had been dismissed by the Tribunal due to a 588-day delay. The court noted the initial Assessing Officer’s (AO) order lacked a hearing opportunity for the assessee, violating natural justice.
The ITAT Delhi fully dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, confirming the deletion of both the Rs.8.09 Cr peak credit addition and the Rs.49.54 Lakh interest disallowance after the assessee proved the sufficiency of own capital and commercial expediency. Consequently, the assessee’s cross-objection against the validity of the reassessment was dismissed as infructuous, reinforcing that no addition can be sustained without adequate proof of unexplained income.
Gujarat High Court held that rejection of declaration in Form No. 1 under DTVSV Scheme, 2024 since manual appeal is filed by NRI petitioner is not justifiable. Accordingly, communication rejecting declaration in From N0. 1 quashed and set aside.
The ITAT instantly dismissed the Revenues appeal because it only challenged the merits of additions, not the CIT(A)s core finding that the reassessment notice was time-barred. When the foundation of the reassessment is quashed and that ruling isnt appealed, all subsequent additions automatically collapse.
The ITAT deleted a Rs.1.30 crore addition, ruling that the reassessment was invalid because the reason for reopening (payments made by the assessee) was entirely different from the reason for the final addition (loan received by the assessee). The Tribunal held that an addition made on a new, unrecorded reason renders the reassessment proceedings unsustainable in law.
ITAT Kolkata held that passing of reassessment order without issuing any notice under section 143(2) of the Income Tax Act is bad in law and not jurisdictional. Accordingly, order quashed and addition is deleted.
The core issue was whether the Revenue could make a Section 68 addition when the same share investors and identical facts were previously validated by the ITAT in earlier years. The Delhi ITAT upheld the principle of judicial consistency, confirming the deletion of the full addition and concluding that without new evidence, the genuineness of the share application money stands proven.
