The Tribunal examined a case where the assessee failed to substantiate purchases and sundry creditors with supporting documents. It upheld estimation of income at 8% of turnover as a reasonable method when the genuineness of expenses could not be proved.
The Tribunal held that cash deposits recorded in regular books of account cannot be treated as unexplained investments under section 69. Since the books were not rejected and no contrary evidence was produced, the addition was deleted.
ITAT Bangalore held that the Assessing Officer must establish bogus purchases with cogent evidence before making additions. Since the assessee produced complete records and the AO found no defects, the entire addition was deleted.
ITAT Bangalore held that reassessment proceedings were invalid where approval under Section 151 was granted mechanically. The sanction was based on the incorrect assumption that the assessee had not filed a return.
ITAT ruled that addition under Section 68 requires a fresh credit in the books during the relevant year. Where loans represent opening balances from earlier years, they cannot be treated as unexplained income.
The Tribunal held that once loan transactions are routed through banking channels and identity and genuineness are established, the assessee cannot be asked to prove the source of the source. The unsecured loan addition of Rs. 60 lakh was deleted.
The Karnataka High Court set aside an order invalidating a return for alleged non-compliance with Section 44AB audit requirements and directed a fresh hearing on whether turnover actually exceeded ₹10 crores.
The Tribunal held that purchases cannot be treated as bogus merely because the supplier did not file an income tax return. Verified GST filings and inventory records established transaction genuineness.
The Tribunal deleted the ₹60 lakh addition under Section 68 after noting that the loan was received and repaid through banking channels and the lenders identity was established.
ITAT Panaji held that disallowance of audit fees is not justifiable since commencement of business operation is recognised under the Companies Act and expenditure was incurred wholly and exclusively for business. Accordingly, appeal allowed to that extent.
