The addition was sustained on the ground that earlier cash deposits were not explained. The Tribunal held that the explanation of medical exigency and redeposit was reasonable and directed deletion.
The lower authorities confirmed an addition without considering permissible valuation variation. The Tribunal held that ignoring the 10% tolerance under section 50C renders the addition invalid.
The case concerned denial of deduction citing dealings with associate members. The Tribunal followed Supreme Court precedent and directed the AO to verify member status and society bye-laws before deciding eligibility.
The issue was whether a religious object in the trust deed bars 80G approval. The Tribunal held that where actual activities are purely charitable and no religious expenditure is incurred, approval cannot be denied.
The issue concerned treating business creditors as unexplained cash credits due to non-response to notices. The Tribunal held that corroborative balance sheets and ledger evidence warranted fresh verification, and remanded the matter to the AO.
The Tribunal held that cancellation of the earlier sale deed restored legal ownership to the assessee’s family. Consequently, compensation received on compulsory acquisition qualified for exemption under section 10(37).

The Tribunal examined whether delay in filing the tax audit report warranted penalty under section 271B. It held that liquidation proceedings and the illness and death of the partner constituted reasonable cause under section 273B, justifying deletion of penalty.
The Tribunal examined whether a third-party seized document could be ignored as a dumb document. It held that once cheque entries in the same document matched recorded transactions, related cash entries could not be disbelieved and addition under section 69C was justified.
