Delhi ITAT upholds CIT(A) order, ruling that only profit embedded in alleged bogus purchases can be taxed, not the full purchase value.
The Tribunal emphasized that an error regarding VRS exemption made by a salaried, non-technical taxpayer cannot be classified as deliberate under-reporting. With no false claim or suppression, the 270A penalty was deleted.
The Tribunal found that the assessee’s net worth was substantially higher than the value of its investments, creating a presumption that investments were made from own funds. As no interest expenditure was linked to exempt income, the AO’s disallowance under Section 14A was held unsustainable.
Since the 14A disallowance was already struck down on the ground that no exempt income was earned, the Tribunal held that penalty under section 270A had no legal basis. It ruled that penalty cannot survive once the underlying quantum addition ceases to exist. The key takeaway is that penalty collapses automatically when its foundation is eliminated.
The Tribunal upheld deletion of a Rs. 17.93 crore disallowance since the assessee earned no exempt income during the year. It applied binding High Court rulings holding that Section 14A cannot operate without exempt income. The decision confirms that the 2022 amendment to Section 14A is prospective.
The Madras High Court held that an investment company’s interest disallowance under Section 36(1)(iii) was invalid as it followed a cash system of accounting. The Tribunal’s deletion of the addition was upheld, confirming that matching principles are not applicable under cash-based accounting.
The Tribunal held that the revisionary order was invalid because the authority failed to demonstrate how the assessment was erroneous or prejudicial to revenue. The AO’s enquiries and acceptance of a plausible view were upheld.
ITAT Chandigarh upheld CIT(A)’s order deleting AO’s additions on depreciation, excess stock, and gross profit, confirming machinery was in use and books were reliable.
ITAT Delhi deletes ₹2.10 Cr addition u/s 68 for share call-money; statements not supplied or cross-examined. Identity, creditworthiness & genuineness of subscribers proven; ad-hoc disallowance also deleted.
The tribunal ruled that reassessment notices issued after April 2021 for AY 2015-16 are invalid, as they fall outside TOLA provisions and are time-barred.
