The Tribunal ruled that the Revenue must establish a direct connection between seized material and the assessee’s taxable income before invoking Section 153C. Mechanical initiation of proceedings for multiple years was declared invalid.
The Tribunal held that validity of reopening under Section 148 must be tested on the basis of material available when reassessment proceedings are initiated. Subsequent reduction in additions does not invalidate jurisdiction already assumed.
Hyderabad ITAT held that a notice issued under Section 148 after six years from the end of AY 2015-16 was invalid. The Tribunal ruled that the amended 10-year reopening provision cannot revive already time-barred cases.
Chennai ITAT held that reassessment notices issued after three years must comply strictly with Section 151(ii) approval requirements. Failure to obtain sanction from the proper authority vitiated the entire reassessment proceedings.
The ITAT Ahmedabad held that reassessment under Section 147 was invalid because the Assessing Officer reopened the case for fictitious loan entries but made additions for alleged bogus LTCG from penny stock transactions. The Tribunal ruled that changing the basis of reopening is not permissible in law.
The Delhi High Court held that material recovered during a search can validly form the basis of reassessment proceedings even if the search is later alleged to be illegal. The Court ruled that proceedings initiated on the basis of such material do not automatically become void.
The Kerala High Court held that delay condonation applications under Section 119(2)(b) must comply with the revised five-year limitation prescribed by CBDT circulars. The Court ruled that authorities cannot entertain applications filed beyond the revised period.
The Tribunal ruled that an assessee following mercantile accounting must offer interest income to tax on accrual basis, irrespective of delayed receipt. Failure to disclose the full accrued amount in the relevant year justified reassessment and addition.
ITAT Mumbai held that additions under section 68 cannot survive where the Assessing Officer failed to conduct independent verification of alleged accommodation entries. Reliance solely on third-party investigation reports was rejected.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that reassessment under Section 147 was invalid as the Assessing Officer failed to show independent application of mind or establish a nexus between investigation material and escaped income.
