ITAT Delhi confirmed deletion of addition on alleged diversion of interest-bearing funds, holding that hypothetical or notional income cannot be brought to tax. The ruling relied on the principle that only real income is taxable.
ITAT holds TDS applies on year-end provisions where payee, amount, and nature are identifiable—assessee treated in default u/s 201. Relief allowed if payees paid tax; no TDS default on salary provisions as deduction arises on payment.
The case examines whether estimated expense disallowances can be made without rejecting books of account. ITAT held such additions invalid, emphasizing that Section 145(3) rejection is a prerequisite. The ruling protects taxpayers from arbitrary disallowances.
ITAT Delhi held that Advertisement, Marketing & Promotion expense [AMP expense] incurred by Make My Trip wholly and exclusively for the business is not capital in nature. Further, since AMP expense is not an international transaction, adjustment by TPO rightly deleted.
ITAT Mumbai held that no TDS is liable to be deducted when payment is made for serving food in a restaurant in the normal course of running of the restaurant/café. Accordingly, appeal allowed to that extent.
ITAT Bangalore held that year-end expense provisions can attract TDS under the IT Act. The matter was restored for limited verification to determine liability under Sections 201(1) and 201(1A).
The Tribunal ruled that Section 40(a)(ia) cannot be used to penalize deduction under an incorrect TDS provision when tax was actually deducted. The expenditure disallowance was rightly deleted.
The amendment explicitly includes manpower supply services under contractual provisions, making 1–2% TDS applicable instead of 10%. This resolves long-standing confusion and reduces compliance risks.
ITAT rulings clarify that deduction of tax under Section 194J does not automatically classify income as professional income under Section 44ADA.
Revenue argued that control and fixed hours created employment. The Tribunal ruled that such controls ensure discipline and contract enforcement, not employment. Result: TDS under Section 194J sustained.
