The issue was whether reassessment is valid when reasons for reopening are not placed on record. The Tribunal held that non-recording of reasons under Section 148(2) vitiates jurisdiction, rendering the reassessment void.
This ruling clarifies that an assessee can be treated as an agent of a non-resident only if income is received directly or indirectly for the NRI. In the absence of such receipt or business connection, representative assessment fails.
The Tribunal examined whether prior approval under Section 153D was granted after due application of mind. It held that mechanical and routine approval invalidates the assessment, rendering the search assessment void.
The reassessment was challenged for lacking approval from the correct authority under Section 151 after three years. The Tribunal held that sanction by an incorrect authority vitiates jurisdiction, rendering the reassessment void.
The Tribunal ruled that completion of assessment after search, despite statutory abatement, is impermissible. Jurisdiction shifts exclusively to Section 153A proceedings.
The issue was whether reassessment after three years was barred by limitation. The Tribunal held it valid since the escaped income exceeded ₹50 lakh, attracting the extended reopening window.
The issue was whether a penalty can survive when the notice does not specify the exact charge. The Tribunal held that a vague notice vitiates the entire penalty proceedings, even where AMT liability exists.
The court set aside reassessment proceedings after finding doubt over valid service of notices. Failure to ensure proper communication denied the assessee a fair hearing.
ITAT ruled that principal amounts in accommodation share entries do not constitute income of a conduit entity. Taxability is restricted to the commission earned for facilitating such transactions.
It was ruled that the bar on fresh claims applies only to assessing officers, not appellate bodies. A valid Section 54F claim must be examined on merits during appeal.
