The court held that reopening an assessment on the same facts amounts to an impermissible change of opinion. Arbitrary second reassessment notices were quashed with ₹1 lakh costs imposed to deter harassment.
The tribunal ruled that reassessment notices for AY 2015-16 issued after 31 March 2022 are barred by limitation. The key takeaway is that TOLA extensions do not apply to this assessment year.
The Tribunal held that assessments under Section 153A cannot be sustained when no incriminating material is found at the assessees premises. Additions based on third-party material were quashed as being without jurisdiction.
The Tribunal ruled that treating a belated return as non est is legally unsustainable. Absence of a Section 143(2) notice invalidates the entire reassessment proceedings.
The Tribunal held that a continuously maintained ledger found during search constituted reliable evidence. Additions for unexplained expenditure under section 69C were sustained based on corroborated diary entries.
The reassessment was annulled after the notice was found procedurally defective. The Tribunal affirmed that binding High Court precedent required issuance by a faceless AO.
The reassessment was initiated beyond the permissible time frame. The Tribunal declared the entire proceedings void from inception. The key lesson is that jurisdictional defects render reassessments unenforceable.
The Tribunal held that reassessment fails when the show-cause notice is issued on an incorrect factual premise. Jurisdiction under section 147 collapses if the foundation under section 148A is flawed.
The Tribunal held that when stamp duty value is disputed, the Assessing Officer must refer the matter to the DVO. Fair market value determination is mandatory before sustaining a Section 50C addition.
Authorities found the land had been sold decades earlier and the MOU acknowledged no possession or rights. The Tribunal affirmed taxation under section 56. The ruling clarifies that an MOU cannot convert non-rights into capital receipts.
