The issue was whether reassessment notices issued by the Jurisdictional AO were valid after the faceless regime. ITAT held that post-notification, only the Faceless AO could act, rendering the reassessment void.
The issue was whether the appellate order properly dealt with bogus purchase additions. ITAT held that a non-speaking NFAC order violating section 250(6) must be set aside.
The High Court quashed reassessment proceedings initiated after the company had already been liquidated by NCLT, holding such action legally unsustainable.
The issue was whether a reassessment notice issued after 31.03.2021 for AY 2014-15 was within limitation. ITAT held the notice time-barred in light of the Supreme Court’s Rajeev Bansal ruling and quashed the entire reassessment.
It was ruled that a reassessment notice issued after expiry of the extended limitation is void. The takeaway is that delayed action under the new reassessment regime is fatal.
The issue was whether bank credits already offered as income in an HUF’s return could again be taxed in the individual’s hands. ITAT held that double taxation is impermissible and directed the AO to verify HUF records before making any addition.
The Tribunal held that delayed responses to statutory notices do not attract penalty when full compliance is ultimately made and accepted before assessment completion. The key takeaway is that penalties cannot be imposed mechanically in the absence of willful default.
The Tribunal ruled that dismissing appeals in limine without examining reasons for delay was improper. It restored the matters for fresh consideration, stressing that procedural lapses should not defeat substantive justice.
ITAT Delhi held that foreign company receiving consideration for offshore supply of equipment, plant, designs and drawings is not taxable in India since entire transaction has taken place outside India.
The ruling declares reassessment void where notices were not issued through the faceless mechanism post-29.03.2022. Lesson: non-compliance with section 151A vitiates reopening.
