The tribunal allowed a remand where unexplained cash deposits were added based on a PAN-linked account. The key takeaway is that effective opportunity must be given to disown alleged accounts.
The Tribunal held that despite repeated notices, interests of justice required another opportunity. The case was remanded for fresh adjudication with costs imposed for prior non-cooperation.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that income disclosed under the VDIS does not prevent tax authorities from scrutinising returns where material shows higher undisclosed income. Immunity under the Scheme applies only to the income actually declared.
The Tribunal recognised that funds could not be used due to a High Court injunction. Such legally restrained non-utilisation cannot be treated as a statutory violation.
The decision reiterates that section 150 is subject to section 150(2) and cannot revive time-barred or jurisdictionally invalid assessments. Directions to reopen were struck down as unlawful.
Proposed adjustments against stayed demands were held impermissible. The Court ruled that such actions cannot defeat the assessee’s right to timely refund with interest.
The Tribunal held that cancellation of the earlier sale deed restored legal ownership to the assessee’s family. Consequently, compensation received on compulsory acquisition qualified for exemption under section 10(37).
The Tribunal examined whether a third-party seized document could be ignored as a dumb document. It held that once cheque entries in the same document matched recorded transactions, related cash entries could not be disbelieved and addition under section 69C was justified.
The Tribunal ruled that penalty proceedings are consequential to assessment. When the assessment issue is pending before the High Court, penalty cannot be enforced.
The Tribunal reaffirmed that reassessment cannot be based on re-appreciation of facts already scrutinized earlier. Without failure of disclosure, invoking Section 147 beyond four years was invalid.
