The Tribunal annulled the reassessment after finding that both the notice and order were issued to a company that had been struck off. It held the proceedings invalid and allowed the appeal.
Tribunal confirms that co-operative societies’ operational expenditures have business nexus with interest income; Section 57 deduction of Rs.62.57 lakh allowed.
ITAT held that Section 69 cannot apply when the assessee is not proved to own the cash. Unrebutted affidavits established the source, and mere suspicion cannot justify an addition.
ITAT allows fresh hearing as assessee’s appeal was dismissed because notices were emailed despite opting for postal delivery. Emphasizes importance of respecting communication preferences in tax proceedings.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment was issued 45 days beyond the maximum permissible period under Rajeev Bansal (SC), making the 148 notice invalid. Applying the deemed-notice framework of Ashish Agarwal, it ruled that the AO had “zero surviving days” to act. The reassessment was quashed for being issued after the statutory outer limit.
The ITAT held that without a condonation petition, a 300-day delay cannot be excused. The ruling underscores that delay must be justified before merits—including Section 80P—can be considered.
Commission payments to agents were held genuine for AY 2013-14 and 2014-15. Tribunal directed deletion of disallowances as payments were backed by bank records, TDS, and recipient confirmations.
The Tribunal held that failure to file a return under section 139 or within the 148-notice deadline triggers Explanation 3, deeming concealment regardless of later tax payment. Penalty under section 271(1)(c) was sustained.
The decision highlights that additions under Section 153C cannot stand when based only on third-party statements without seized material linking the assessee. The ruling stresses the need for concrete evidence before treating purchases as non-genuine.
Breaks down Section 234F penalties, 1% monthly interest, and the hidden loss of tax benefits that arise when returns are filed after the due date.
