The Tribunal restricted the Section 14A disallowance to exempt income and deleted additions relating to bad debts, tea and coffee expenses, and hotel accommodation after finding the statutory requirements for disallowance were not met.
The ITAT Hyderabad held that payments made for Google AdWords constitute advertising contracts under Section 194C and not fees for technical services under Section 194J. The Tribunal ruled that the automated platform did not involve the rendering of technical services to the advertiser.
The dispute concerned deduction of CSR expenditure incurred before Explanation 2 to section 37(1) became applicable. The ITAT held that the contribution, made under Ministry of Shipping guidelines, was allowable for AY 2012-13. The decision emphasised that the statutory bar introduced from AY 2015-16 could not be applied retrospectively.
Expenditure of ₹4.49 crore incurred on maintenance dredging for removal of natural siltation and restoration of the existing operational depth of the jetty constituted revenue expenditure allowable under section 37(1). Accordingly, the disallowance made by AO and sustained by CIT(A) was deleted.
The Delhi ITAT held that repeated non-compliance with statutory notices transformed the reassessment into a best judgment assessment in substance. Consequently, the CIT(A) was justified in remanding the matter to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
The ITAT Delhi held that Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges are payments for maintenance services and not consideration for the use of premises. Accordingly, TDS on such payments is deductible under Section 194C and not Section 194-I.
The ruling emphasized that CAM charges remain separate transactions irrespective of whether payments are made to the same landlord or a different entity. TDS under Section 194C was held to be correctly deducted.
ITAT Kolkata held that TDS under Section 194C was not required on materials purchased for installation work. The disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) was reduced substantially after excluding the material component.
Taxpayers are advised to wait until departmental records are fully updated before filing AY 2026-27 returns. Filing too early may lead to mismatches, notices, and refund delays.
The Pune ITAT held that estimating net profit at 18% of contract receipts was excessive in the absence of supporting material. Applying principles similar to presumptive taxation under Section 44AD, the Tribunal restricted the profit rate to 8% and granted substantial relief.
