The department has identified high-risk cases through its Insight Portal for AYs 2022-25. It directs officers to initiate reassessment proceedings based on risk analysis, emphasizing data-driven scrutiny.
The tribunal held that reassessment fails if no addition is made on the issue cited for reopening. Additions on unrelated grounds were declared beyond jurisdiction.
The Court held that an assessment order passed in the name of an amalgamating, non-existent entity is void. It ruled that system glitches cannot cure a fundamental jurisdictional defect.
The Tribunal upheld deletion of addition as seized loose sheets lacked key details and no supporting evidence proved unaccounted sales. Reliance solely on such documents was held insufficient.
The tribunal held reopening invalid where actual escaped income was below ₹50 lakh. It clarified that jurisdiction depends on real income, not transaction value.
The Tribunal ruled that incorrect invocation of Section 69A does not invalidate the addition. Since the loan was found to be an accommodation entry, it was sustained under Section 68. The decision emphasizes substance over technical defects.
ITAT held that the assessee discharged the burden of proving identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness. Addition was deleted as AO relied only on suspicion without evidence.
ITAT remanded the matter where the assessee claimed PAN misuse leading to additions under Sections 68 and 69. It directed AO to verify the police report, holding that relief must be granted if misuse is substantiated.
The Tribunal held reassessment invalid as no proper sanction under Section 151 was produced. The notice under Section 148 was quashed, making all additions unsustainable.
The case addressed whether reassessment can proceed before disposing of objections. The Tribunal ruled that such action breaches mandatory legal procedure, leading to quashing of the assessment.
