The Tribunal found that the authorities mechanically endorsed a factually incorrect premise, resulting in an unjustified DVO reference. Such a negligible 1.71% variation could not support an unexplained-investment addition under Section 69. Due to non-application of mind throughout the process, the 153A assessment was struck down entirely.
ITAT Delhi deletes ₹16.97 Cr addition; Denmark-based LM Wind Power AS has no PE or business connection in India. Royalty taxable u/s 115A; penalty u/s 271AA unsustainable.
ITAT held that most jewellery seized during a search could be accounted for from declared drawings and past income, reducing addition to ₹72.45 lakh. Ruling emphasizes that unexplained investment must be proven in relevant assessment year.
ITAT held that managing multiple bank accounts justified salary expenses claimed under Section 57(iii). The ruling restores full deduction and reinforces that recurring administrative costs can be allowable against interest income.
The ITAT found the AO’s valuation incorrect, emphasizing that FMV must be determined on the date of transfer, leading to the restoration of the long-term capital loss for the Assessee.
ITAT Ahmedabad set aside the ex-parte CIT(A) order confirming ₹36.3 lakh addition for advance rent. The matter was restored to AO for de-novo adjudication, and the assessee was granted full opportunity to present evidence, with a ₹5,000 cost imposed.
The Tribunal found no evidence of concealment since the assessee had transparently disclosed impairment, CENVAT credit treatment, and revenue recognition. It ruled that Section 271(1)(c) cannot be invoked merely because the AO made additions.
Tribunal remands the matter after finding that bank records showing cash withdrawals were not examined. The key takeaway is that cash-in-hand cant be treated as unexplained without proper factual verification.
The ITAT Delhi partly allowed the appeal as the AO/TPO selected a company that failed the turnover filter for transfer pricing. Key takeaway: Transfer pricing adjustments must follow proper comparability filters and FAR analysis.
The Tribunal held that shifting a disclosed loss from business to speculation does not amount to under-reporting when the quantum of loss is fully accepted. Since the tax liability remained Nil and no suppression was alleged, section 270A could not be invoked. The penalty was therefore deleted in full.
