The Tribunal held that IGST demand based on alleged breach of pre-import condition was unsustainable where export obligations were fulfilled and EODCs were issued. Acceptance of EODCs and bond cancellation closed the exemption compliance.
The Tribunal held that interest under Section 28 is part of compensation and not taxable as other income. A reopening based on such misinterpretation was quashed for lack of valid belief.
The decision underscores that ignoring audited disclosures, ledgers, and salary records violates principles of natural justice. Once actual payment is proved, gratuity deduction must be allowed.

ITAT Delhi held that disallowance of bad debts claimed as deduction under section 36(1)(vii) is not justifiable if offered as income in any year. Accordingly, AO directed to verify that amount for which bad debts have claimed u/s 36(1)(vii) were indeed offered as income for the said years.
The Tribunal upheld taxation of enhanced compensation and interest under land acquisition after insertion of section 56(2)(viii). The ruling confirms that such receipts are taxable despite earlier judicial views.
The Tribunal ruled that the enhanced tax rate under Section 115BBE cannot be applied retrospectively for demonetisation-period transactions. As the tax effect at normal rates fell below the monetary limit, the Revenue’s appeal was dismissed.
The issue was whether a regular assessment could survive once section 153C was triggered for a non-searched person. The Tribunal ruled that pending scrutiny abates, making an assessment under section 143(3) void from inception.
