The Tribunal considered whether RTGS credits constituted unexplained money. It ruled that once sale bills, customer ledgers, and bank entries align, Section 69A has no application.
The Tribunal held that reassessment initiated after three years without approval from the statutorily specified higher authority is invalid. Improper sanction under Section 151 vitiates the entire proceedings.
The High Court held that reassessment proceedings initiated by a jurisdictional Assessing Officer were without authority after introduction of the faceless scheme. All notices, assessment orders, and demands were set aside on jurisdictional grounds.
High Court set aside reassessment proceedings after finding that the notice was based only on existing records, with no new material to justify reopening of the completed scrutiny assessment.
The Tribunal examined whether Section 153A could be applied to the search year itself. It held that invoking Section 153A for the wrong assessment year was invalid, rendering the assessment void.
The Tribunal held that rural agricultural land excluded from capital asset under Section 2(14) cannot be taxed under Section 56(2)(vii)(b). Addition based on stamp duty valuation was therefore deleted in full.
The disallowance of interest income was set aside as co-operative banks fall within the definition of co-operative societies. The ruling confirms full deductibility of such interest under Section 80P(2)(d).
The Tribunal held that interest earned by a co-operative society from investments with co-operative banks falls within Section 80P(2)(d). Such income is deductible, subject to verification of the source and bifurcation.
The Tribunal held that a Section 148A(d) order passed by a jurisdictional AO after the faceless notification is without legal authority. Any reassessment founded on such an order is void for want of jurisdiction.
The Tribunal ruled that post-notification reassessment notices must strictly follow the faceless assessment framework. Issuance by a jurisdictional AO renders the notice without authority and the reassessment unsustainable.
