ITAT Ahmedabad orders deletion of Rs. 34.3 lakh addition under Section 68, citing deposits from known sources. Case remanded for further verification.
Since the addition pertained to the “receipt of money” from the sale of flats by the assessee and these amounts did not represent the actual receipts in the hands of the assessee, they could not be subjected to tax.
Since there was no failure on the part of assessee to fully and truthfully disclose material facts therefore, assessment under sections 147-148 was not valid as the specific provisions of Section 153C were deemed to take precedence over the general provisions of Section 147.
ITAT Raipur held that tax implication of the gift transaction shall arise in the year in which the said asset will be sold/transferred. Thus, addition based on the notional / fictitious entry of asset made in books of account unjustified.
Delhi High Court held that passing of fresh assessment order beyond time limit prescribed under section 153(3) of the Income Tax Act cannot be sustained and hence set aside.
ITAT Pune held that addition in respect of share capital not sustainable as no incriminating material found during course of search regarding non-genuine share capital. Accordingly, addition towards the same deleted.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that ex-parte dismissal of appeal on account of non-appearance by CIT(A) without discussing the merits of the case is unsustainable in law. CIT(A) is obliged to dispose of appeal on merits.
ITAT Ahmedabad condoned delay of 326 days in filing quantum appeal and delay of 1 day in filing penalty appeal as assessee demonstrated sufficient cause for the delay.
However, the completed/unabated assessments could be re-opened by the AO in exercise of powers under sections 147/148, subject to fulfilment of the conditions as envisaged/mentioned under sections 147/148 and those powers were saved.
ITAT Ranchi held that dismissal of appeal by CIT(A) on account of non-prosecution without deciding the matter on merits is unsustainable in law. Accordingly, matter remanded back for de novo adjudication.
