The ITAT Mumbai held that settlement under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme does not extinguish the legal existence of a reassessment order. Limitation under Section 154 must therefore be computed from the reassessment order, making the rectification application maintainable.
Mumbai ITAT held that payments from accumulated income to institutions registered under Section 12AA attracted Section 11(3)(d). The Tribunal ruled that rectification under Section 154 was valid as the omission was a mistake apparent from the record.
The Tribunal held that an inadvertent mistake in Schedule 112A relating to the acquisition period of mutual fund units could be rectified under Section 154. Since the evidence showed that the assets were acquired before 31.01.2018, the Assessing Officer was directed to recompute the capital gains after verification.
A detailed overview of limitation periods prescribed under the Income-tax Act reveals how missing statutory deadlines can lead to penalties, loss of deductions, exemptions, and legal remedies.

The ITAT Jodhpur deleted the disallowance relating to delayed PF and ESI deposits, holding that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the EPFO’s relaxation measures had not been properly considered. The Tribunal emphasized a pragmatic approach in exceptional circumstances.
The Tribunal held that section 50 merely prescribes a special method for computing gains on depreciable assets and does not convert a long-term capital asset into a short-term capital asset. Consequently, long-term capital losses were permitted to be set off against such gains under section 74.
ITAT Chennai held that late filing fees under Section 234E could not be levied through TDS processing for periods prior to 01.06.2015, as the enabling provision under Section 200A was introduced only prospectively.
The ITAT held that compensation paid to terminate a land sale agreement was a business expenditure incurred for commercial reasons. The amount could not be treated as part of closing stock and was allowable under Section 37.
The Court held that although notices were sent to the address available in PAN and passport records, the reassessment order could not stand because the assessee was not given an effective opportunity of hearing. The assessment, demand notices, penalties, and recovery proceedings were set aside.
The ITAT held that a transfer of jurisdiction under Section 127(2) is invalid if the assessee is not given a reasonable opportunity of being heard. As a result, notices issued by the transferee officers lacked legal validity and the assessment was quashed.
