CIT(A) wrongly rejected the assessee’s rectification petition under section 154 despite portal evidence. ITAT restored the appeal for fresh adjudication with full opportunity to submit evidence.
ITAT rules that an additional 54B claim omitted in the original return cannot be mechanically rejected. AO must examine the claim on merits, verifying capital gains utilisation and statutory conditions.
ITAT Pune allowed a retired PSU bank employee to claim leave encashment exemption of Rs. 6,97,100 under Section 10(10AA) after limit was revised from Rs. 3,00,000 to Rs. 25,00,000. The ruling confirms that updated notifications can affect eligible deductions.
The Tribunal held that reopening was invalid as the sanctioning authority recorded only a one-word approval. Key takeaway: Mechanical approval without reasoning vitiates jurisdiction under Section 147.
The Tribunal held that TDS credit cannot be denied when Form 16 confirms deduction and deposit of tax. The AO was directed to grant full credit after verification.
Chander Shekher Saini Vs ITO (ITAT Chandigarh) Facts: The assessee, Shri Chander Shekher Saini, is a retired employee who served initially with the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) and, pursuant to restructuring, with Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), a company wholly owned by the Government of Punjab. It is not in dispute that the […]
The capital-gains addition of ₹4.02 crore arose from 143(1) but was included in the 143(3) scrutiny assessment. ITAT directed CIT(A) to decide the appeal on merits, ensuring the assessee’s rights during scrutiny are protected.
The assessee’s plea that delayed PF/ESI deduction was a debatable issue was rejected because Checkmate had settled the law retrospectively. The key takeaway is that once the Supreme Court clarifies the law, CPC may apply it through 143(1)(a) adjustments based on audit disclosures.
The Tribunal held that a captive software development service provider cannot be compared with giant IT companies owning IP, diversified services, and global operations. By excluding these functionally dissimilar comparables, the entire ₹10.58 crore TP adjustment was deleted.
Disallowances under Section 40A(3) were challenged as cash payments were made on holidays and for labor. Tribunal directs reassessment considering business exigency and genuine transactions.
