The Tribunal held that cash deposits during demonetisation were supported by genuine cash sales of damaged rice, verified through stock records, GST filings, and insurance assessments. The AO’s allegation of bogus sales under Section 68 was rejected for lack of evidence. The ruling confirms that suspicion cannot override documented business transactions.
Understand the statutory time limits for filings, applications, approvals, and settlement processes under the Income-tax Act, including key compliance deadlines.
The Tribunal held that the ₹2.5 Cr flat investment was fully explained through agreement details and a DHFL housing loan, leaving no basis for an addition. Penalty u/s 271(1)(c) was remanded for fresh examination since the foundation for concealment no longer survived.
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.
The Tribunal held that a 143(1)(a) adjustment denying ₹5.05 crore TDS credit was invalid because no mandatory show-cause intimation was issued. It ruled that a 139(9) defect notice cannot substitute the statutory opportunity required under 143(1), resulting in deletion of the entire ₹5.73 crore demand.
Tribunal deleted 10% ad-hoc disallowances on travelling and telephone expenses as the assessee produced complete vouchers and audited books. Authorities cannot impose blanket disallowances without specific inquiry.
ITAT holds that the temples bona fide belief in statutory exemption justified a 607-day delay. Assessments and penalties are remanded for fresh review considering exemption applicability.
ITAT Jaipur held that denial to allow the business loss stating the requirement of books of accounts to be audited is not justifiable since turnover during relevant period didn’t exceed the prescribed limit for getting books of accounts audited.
