The ITAT dismissed Revenue’s Section 68 additions, holding that the assessee proved the identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of lenders. AO’s reliance solely on search statements was rejected.
Delhi High Court ruled that both JAO and FAO have concurrent jurisdiction to issue reassessment notices under Sections 148/148A, aligning with TKS Builders precedent.
The assessee’s claim of ₹98.4 lakh as selling expenses on property sale was disallowed by AO and upheld by CIT(A) without proper reasoning. ITAT remanded the case to ensure a detailed, reasoned examination of the submissions on merits.
The ITAT Pune held that applying presumptive taxation under Section 44AD to government-collected stamp duty and registration charges was unjustified. The case was remanded for fresh examination, considering subsequent years where identical transactions were accepted without additions.
The Tribunal rejected the Revenue’s argument that TOLA extended the time for issuing notice, holding that for A.Y. 2015-16 the limitation expired on 31.03.2019. Consequently, the 21.04.2021 notice lacked legal authority. Key takeaway: TOLA does not revive time-barred assessments.
The Telangana High Court ruled that Section 148 notices for central charge cases must follow the faceless procedure under the Finance Act, 2021, quashing JAO-issued notices.
The Madras High Court ruled that Section 54F of the Income Tax Act can cover multiple residential units purchased from capital gains, reversing the ITAT’s single-flat restriction.
The Tribunal concluded that section 189 is only a machinery provision and cannot be invoked to assess alleged income arising long after a firm has ceased to exist. Since no evidence showed any business activity post-2012, the reopening for AY 2017-18 was invalid. The order quashing the reassessment also nullified the related addition and penalty.
The Tribunal ruled that a cess deduction claim based on favourable jurisprudence cannot trigger penalty. Compliance with Section 155(18), including timely Form 69 filing, protected the assessee from under-reporting allegations.
ITAT held that reassessment notices under sections 147/148 were invalid as the reasons were vague and lacked tangible evidence. Reopening cannot be used merely to verify or scrutinize transactions without proper justification.
