Recognizing the nature of the manufacturing business and accepted sales, the Tribunal scaled down the disallowance. The decision stresses pragmatic assessment. It avoids penalizing genuine turnover.
The Tribunal held that reopening based solely on third-party information without independent application of mind is invalid. Income escaping assessment must be based on the Assessing Officer’s own reason to believe.
The Tribunal examined whether website development charges were genuine business expenses. It upheld the disallowance after finding the vendor to be a non-existent entity and services to be unproven.
The Tribunal held that a reassessment notice issued years after the assessee’s death is a legal nullity. Such proceedings are void even if the department was not informed about the death.
The Tribunal ruled that reassessment based on borrowed satisfaction, without inquiry or verification by the AO, is unsustainable. Independent application of mind is mandatory under the new regime.
Despite large additions for alleged unexplained cash deposits, the Tribunal quashed the reassessment itself. It reaffirmed that jurisdiction cannot be assumed without proper and reasoned approval.
The Tribunal held that additions based solely on third-party statements and seized digital data cannot survive without allowing cross-examination. The matter was remanded for fresh adjudication after granting due opportunity to the assessee.
The Tribunal ruled that additions under section 69 cannot exceed the amount actually invested during the relevant year. Where most payments were loan-funded, only the year-specific payment required examination.
ITAT Delhi quashed reassessment issued beyond three years where alleged escapement was only ₹35 lakh. Section 149 bars reopening unless the ₹50-lakh threshold is satisfied.
The Tribunal held that reassessment is invalid where the mandatory notice under Section 143(2) is issued beyond the prescribed time limit. Absence of a valid and timely notice strikes at the very jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer.
