The Tribunal examined the validity of reopening and multiple expense disallowances. While relief was granted on cash payments and reimbursed interest, statutory interest on taxes was held to be non-deductible.
The Tribunal ruled that absence of DIN on Section 143(2) notices vitiates jurisdiction under Section 147. All reassessment orders were quashed as legally unsustainable.
ITAT held that assessing an AOP without initiating reassessment proceedings against it is impermissible in law. The entire reassessment was declared non-est and additions were deleted.
The Tribunal held that a loan repaid through banking channels cannot be treated as unexplained when identity and creditworthiness are shown. Allegations based on untested statements were rejected.
The Tribunal sustained reassessment based on search information but faulted the disallowance of political donations. The key takeaway is that additions cannot rest solely on untested third-party statements without cross-examination.
The Tribunal held that reassessment was invalid as the statutory sanction under Section 151 was granted mechanically. Mere use of the word Approved does not show application of mind and vitiates the entire proceedings.
The Tribunal held that sanction for reopening was granted mechanically and without independent application of mind, as required under Section 151. An undated and non-speaking approval vitiated the entire reassessment proceedings.
Failure to demonstrate a dated approval under Section 151 proved fatal to the Revenue’s case. The decision underscores strict compliance in reopening assessments.
The assessment was set aside as the Revenue produced no acknowledgment of service. The ruling reiterates that service of notice is foundational to reassessment.
The Tribunal held that reassessment under Sections 147/144B is void if no notice under Section 143(2) is issued. Acting on a return filed or adopted in response to Section 148 triggers mandatory jurisdictional compliance.
