ITAT Mumbai held that disallowance under section 14A of the Income Tax Act cannot exceed the amount of exempt income earned by the assessee during the year under consideration. Accordingly, the matter is restored back to file of AO for exercising the computation of disallowance u/s 14A.
Madras High Court held that reassessment under section 147 of the Income Tax Act after expiry of four years is sustainable in law since assessee has failed to set out truly and fully all the material facts.
The Tribunal partly allowed the Revenue’s appeal by holding that interest incurred on borrowings used for project development must be capitalised. Absence of evidence showing alternative use of funds justified capitalization.
ITAT Chennai held that the matter of buyback through High Court approved scheme of arrangment remitted back for verification of NAV valuation under rule 11UA and also to analyize applicability of section 115QA. Accordingly, appeal restored back.
The issue was whether a ₹3.05 crore disallowance under section 14A could stand without nexus to exempt income. The ITAT held that only a reasonable amount with clear linkage can be disallowed, capping it at ₹10 lakh.
The ITAT held that taxing only TDS credit, while leaving the underlying undisclosed commission untaxed, is a patent error. Section 263 revision was rightly invoked to protect revenue.
Section 14A disallows expenses related to tax-exempt income. Rule 8D provides the formula, ensuring only taxable-income-related expenses are deductible.
The ITAT held that Rule 8D cannot be invoked without first recording a clear dissatisfaction with the assessee’s working based on accounts. Mechanical application of the rule, without identifying specific expenditure linked to exempt income, was ruled invalid.
The ITAT held that additions under section 153A for unabated years require incriminating material found during search. Suspicion, past records or third-party allegations cannot substitute seized evidence.
The ITAT found that Rule 8D cannot be applied blindly without examining the nature of investments and income earned. The matter was restored to the Assessing Officer to verify whether investments were stock-in-trade and whether they yielded exempt income.
