Tribunal invalidates reassessment where AO relied on incorrect data and PCIT granted mere Yes approval. Highlights importance of independent application of mind under Sections 147/148/151.
The Tribunal reduced commission estimations for sale/purchase and loan entries to 0.40% and 0.50%, excluding intra-group transactions. This ensures compliance with judicial precedents and prevents arbitrary income additions.
ITAT Ahmedabad set aside the ex-parte CIT(A) order where notices were sent to a wrong email ID, causing non-receipt by the assessee. The matter, including Sec.69A addition and denial of cross-examination, was remitted to CIT(A) for fresh adjudication on merits.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that speculative intraday trades are genuine and not accommodation entries. Additions under Section 68 totaling ₹1.25 crore and ₹1.53 lakh were deleted due to lack of foundational facts and proper inquiry.
ITAT Kolkata deleted ₹3.32 crore addition under Section 68, holding that complete documentary evidence proved the genuineness and identity of investors. Low income or meagre business activity of subscriber companies cannot justify treating share capital as unexplained.
The court reaffirmed that reassessment notices under Section 148 must be issued via the CBDT-prescribed automated system. Notices issued by local officers without allocation are considered without jurisdiction.
The Gujarat High Court restrained the Assessing Officer from passing a final order under Section 148, citing non-compliance with the preliminary verification requirements under the Scheme framed under Section 135A.
Punjab and Haryana High Court held that a Section 148 notice issued by a Jurisdictional Assessing Officer after the faceless assessment scheme is invalid. The notice contravened Section 151A and the 2022 e-Assessment scheme. The court quashed the notice with directions to follow statutory faceless procedure.
ITAT Delhi held that obtaining sanction u/s 151 from PCIT instead of PCCIT for reopening beyond 3 years invalidates reassessment. Jurisdictional defect renders entire proceedings void.
The Tribunal set aside the ex parte confirmation of a cash-deposit addition and directed fresh examination after the assessee produced sale-related documents. The key takeaway is that additions under section 69 require proper verification of evidence.
