Description: The Tribunal allowed the appeal of an Exemption-registered society that challenged its reassessment on the legal ground that the AO failed to issue a Section 143(2) notice. The ruling confirms that this notice is mandatory for assumption of jurisdiction under Section 143(3) read with 47, even if the return was filed belatedly.
The AO made massive ex-parte additions under Section 69A after the assessee failed to respond to notices sent to an incorrect email ID of his deceased former CA. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)’s decision to set aside the ex-parte assessment for fresh adjudication, utilizing the Finance Act 2024 amendment to Section 251, which grants the CIT(A) the power to remit Section 144 best judgment assessments.
The Delhi ITAT quashed a ₹42.10 Crore addition made in a Section 153A assessment, confirming that additions cannot be made to completed assessments without incriminating material seized during the search. The ruling follows the binding Supreme Court precedent in Abhisar Buildwell.
The ITAT Pune Bench set aside an ex-parte capital gains order, granting a non-filer taxpayer a final chance to present evidence for ₹2.03 Cr in land improvement costs to the CIT(A).
ITAT Jabalpur partially allowed Dayanand Paryani’s appeal, directing AO to replace a full Rs. 29,38,600/− cash credit addition with a 12% presumptive income rate, citing failure to calculate peak credit.
The ITAT set aside a massive unexplained investment addition made on a joint bank account, ruling that the CIT(A) failed to consider vital documentary evidence submitted by the assessee. The case is remanded to the AO for fresh verification of the documents, which claim the deposits were company business, not personal income.
The Tribunal held that an AO cannot treat a return filed in response to a Section 148 notice as non-est while using it as the base for computing the final income. Following High Court precedent, the ITAT confirmed that once the return is taken into account for assessment, the issue of Section 143(2) notice becomes a prerequisite, making the assessment void.
The ITAT deleted the addition of Rs. 73 lakh on the unrealized surrender value of Keyman Insurance Policies, ruling that notional or hypothetical income cannot be taxed. Since the matured policy value was already offered to tax, taxing the value of unmatured policies would amount to double taxation.
ITAT Kolkata deletes a lakh addition made u/s 69A against an interior decorator, ruling the amount cannot be taxed as unexplained money if already offered to tax.
The ITAT ruled that only the Gross Profit (GP) percentage on unaccounted purchases, not the entire purchase value, is taxable as undisclosed income. The Tribunal rejected the inflated purchase rate of Rs. 1,500 based solely on a partner’s statement, instead fixing a fair estimated rate of Rs. 770 per unit.
