ITAT Mumbai quashes ₹1.64 Cr reassessment for faceless violation & time-barred notice u/s 148; holds jurisdictional defect fatal, TOLA cannot extend limitation.
The Court held that reassessment cannot be initiated on issues already examined during scrutiny assessment. It ruled that reopening based on the same material amounts to a change of opinion and is invalid.
ITAT Chennai set aside the appellate order and remanded issues on protective addition, Section 54F exemption, and TDS credit mismatch for fresh adjudication.
The Court stayed reassessment proceedings after constitutional issues were raised. The key takeaway is interim protection when arguable legal questions exist.
The Tribunal held that the addition of ₹8.44 crore was unsustainable as it was based on incorrect assumptions about multiple bank accounts. It ruled that properly recorded and explained transactions cannot be treated as unexplained income under Section 69A.
The Tribunal held reassessment invalid as the alleged escaped income did not exceed ₹50 lakh required for extended limitation. It ruled that invoking extended time under Section 149 without satisfying this condition is illegal.
The issue was estimation of commission income from alleged accommodation entries. The tribunal held that addition should be restricted to 0.5% on proven transactions, not inflated amounts.
The issue was whether donation to a political party qualified for deduction under Section 80GGC. The tribunal held the claim was not genuine and upheld disallowance due to lack of credibility.
ITAT Mumbai deleted Section 69 addition on alleged on-money, holding third-party statements and unverified pen drive data lack evidentiary value without corroboration or cross-examination, upholding natural justice.
