The Tribunal examined whether an addition under section 153C could survive without seized material. It held that in an unabated year, additions are impermissible without incriminating evidence found during search, leading to deletion of the addition.
The Tribunal ruled that a creditor’s write-off alone cannot trigger section 41(1) taxation. The assessee’s liability persisted in its books, and the ₹10.23 crore addition was deleted.
ITAT Vishakhapatnam held that reopening notice u/s. 148 being issued beyond period of three years on the basis of approval u/s. 151(ii) of the Income Tax Act obtained from Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax [Pr. CIT] instead of Principal Chief Commissioner or Principal Director General is invalid and liable to be quashed.
Relying on the Supreme Court’s decision in Rajeev Bansal, the Tribunal noted that even the Revenue admitted TOLA does not cover AY 2015-16. Notices issued after the original limitation period were therefore invalid.
The Tribunal ruled that non-filing of returns, absence of audited books, and lack of donor details defeat the claim for exemption under Section 13A. Voluntary contributions thus became taxable, though Section 68 additions were set aside.
ITAT Delhi held that compliance with the statutory hierarchy under Section 151 is jurisdictional and non-negotiable. Any deviation renders the 148A(d) order, notice under Section 148, and subsequent assessment invalid.
ITAT Delhi clarified that Section 153A is not meant to reassess completed years in absence of seized evidence. The ₹6.11 lakh addition was therefore held to be without jurisdiction.
The Tribunal admitted a gift deed filed for the first time before it, noting that the donor was no longer alive. The ₹26.36 lakh addition was remanded for verification of the deed and surrounding circumstances.
The Tribunal quashed the Assessing Officer’s action of taxing the entire purchase value after invoking Section 145(3). Only estimated profit embedded in such purchases, if higher than declared profit, can be brought to tax.
ITAT Hyderabad held that addition under section 69A of the Income Tax Act as unexplained money towards bogus long term capital gains not sustained since assessee has proved the genuineness of transactions of purchase and sale of shares as ordinary investor.
