The issue was whether entire alleged bogus purchases should be added as income after a search assessment. The Tribunal held that where consumption and records are not disputed, only the profit element can be taxed, not the full purchase value.
The case examined whether exchange data alone could justify taxing alleged commodity profits. The Tribunal ruled that once the broker admits wrong PAN mapping and identifies the real trader, the addition cannot survive.
The issue was whether late filing of Form 67 bars foreign tax credit under DTAA. ITAT held that FTC is a substantive right under section 90 and cannot be denied for a procedural delay.
The AO relied on human probability, abnormal price movement and third-party material. ITAT held that without direct evidence against the assessee, LTCG cannot be branded sham.
The assessee sought to contest an EPF/ESI disallowance arising only from CPC processing. ITAT ruled that issues from 143(1) must be challenged independently, not through a 143(3) appeal.
The Tribunal ruled that cash deposited from recorded demonetisation-period sales cannot be treated as unexplained when books and VAT turnover are accepted. Suspicion without evidence cannot justify section 69A additions.
The issue was whether filing ITR-7 instead of ITR-5 justified blanket disallowance of expenses. ITAT held that wrong ITR selection is a procedural lapse and cannot wipe out genuine expenditure.
The AO passed a rectification order while the core section 50C addition was pending fresh adjudication. ITAT ruled that such parallel adjudication leads to inconsistency and must be avoided.
The Tribunal held that AIR-triggered reopening and additions cannot stand where an NRI explains investments with foreign remittance evidence, and remanded the case for fresh verification.
The ITAT held that a notice under Section 143(2) issued by a non-jurisdictional AO invalidates the entire assessment. Jurisdictional defects cannot be cured later, making the assessment void from inception.
