The Tribunal held that when sales are undisputed, entire purchases cannot be disallowed and only the embedded profit can be taxed, upholding a 20% addition.
The tribunal held that reliance on an investigation report cannot override the statutory requirement of section 68. Where the assessee maintained no books, additions based solely on bank credits were invalid.
The issue was whether reassessment initiated by the Jurisdictional AO was valid. The Tribunal held the notice invalid as it violated mandatory faceless assessment procedures, rendering the reassessment void.
The Tribunal ruled that payments made directly to truck drivers, and not transporters, fall outside Section 40A(3) limits when within the statutory threshold. Additions based on incorrect assumptions were set aside.
The Tribunal examined whether repayment of earlier loans could be taxed as unexplained money. It held that once loans were accepted as genuine and repayment sources were explained, no addition could survive.
The issue was whether alleged commission on bogus donations could be taxed as unexplained expenditure. The Tribunal held that once the donation amount itself is offered to tax, the source stands explained and Section 69C cannot be invoked.
The issue was whether penalty could be levied despite disclosure of undisclosed income during search. The Tribunal held that when the assessee explains the manner of earning income and pays due tax, no penalty is leviable.
The Tribunal deleted additions made solely on third-party Excel data after holding that denial of cross-examination of the key witness violated natural justice. The ruling confirms that such denial is fatal where the statement forms the foundation of the addition.
The reassessment relied entirely on allegations arising from a search on another entity. The Tribunal ruled that additions cannot survive without independent evidence directly linking the assessee.
The tribunal held that suspicion, abnormal price rise, or third-party reports are insufficient to deny LTCG exemption. Revenue must establish direct involvement of the taxpayer in price rigging.
