The tribunal held that reassessment initiated through a jurisdictional officer instead of the mandatory faceless mechanism was invalid. Notices under Section 148 issued after 01.04.2021 must follow the faceless scheme, failing which the entire assessment collapses.
The Tribunal ruled that VAT collected but not credited to the profit and loss account cannot be treated as taxable income. Once substantially paid to the government, such liability cannot be added again as trading receipts.
The issue was whether reassessment remains valid when no Section 143(2) notice is issued after a return is filed in response to Section 148. ITAT held such reassessment void, confirming that Section 143(2) is a mandatory jurisdictional requirement.
The Tribunal examined whether unsecured loans could be treated as unexplained merely on investigation wing inputs. It held that once identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness are proved with documents, additions under Section 68 cannot survive.
The issue was whether income of a predecessor company for years before amalgamation can be reassessed in the hands of the successor. ITAT held that such clubbing is impermissible and the reassessment itself is void.
The Tribunal held that reopening based on a specific appellate direction is legally valid under section 150(1). The key takeaway is that such directions must be challenged separately and cannot be questioned collaterally in reassessment proceedings.
The tribunal held that taxing the full sale consideration as short-term capital gain without allowing cost of acquisition is legally incorrect. Capital gains must be computed on net gains, not gross receipts.
Although the Revenue followed the new reassessment procedure, the notice was issued beyond the allowable time. The Tribunal set aside the reassessment as void ab initio.
The tribunal held that estimating commission income at 1% without verifying the existence of a genuine Shroff business was legally unsustainable. The matter was remanded for fresh examination by the Assessing Officer.
The tribunal held that refusal to condone delay defeats substantial justice when reasonable cause exists. Delay was directed to be condoned and appeal heard on merits.
