The Delhi High Court upheld deletion of additions after authorities under the Black Money Act concluded that the assessee was not the beneficial owner of the foreign assets. The Court held that a protective assessment could not survive on those facts.
Tribunal could not recall and restore an appeal dismissed ex parte under Rule 24 of the ITAT Rules, 1963, when assessee filed miscellaneous applications after a lapse of 14 years without establishing sufficient cause for non-appearance, and where service of the original order was presumed under section 27 of the General Clauses Act as the term “afterwards” used in Rule 24 of the ITAT Rules provided procedural flexibility but did not grant an indefinite timeline.
The Karnataka High Court ruled that appellate authorities are empowered to entertain claims not made before the Assessing Officer. The absence of a revised return did not bar consideration of the claim.

Madras High Court held that time-share membership fees could not be fully taxed in the year of receipt since the assessee had continuing obligations extending over several years. The Court approved spreading part of the income over the membership tenure.
The Tribunal ruled in favour of the assessee after noting that audited financials, PAN, bank statements, ITRs, confirmations, and MCA records of lenders were furnished. The ruling reinforces that documentary evidence can successfully rebut allegations of bogus loans.
