The issue was whether cash deposits during demonetisation could be taxed as unexplained. The Tribunal held that when sales are recorded in books, audited, and reflected in VAT returns, section 68 cannot be invoked on mere probability.
The issue concerned massive additions made in an ex-parte assessment due to alleged unexplained share transactions. The Tribunal held that such issues require proper factual verification and remanded the case for fresh adjudication.
The issue was whether an appeal could be dismissed solely for delay without examining merits. The Tribunal held that where delay is bona fide, technical rejection is improper and the matter must be decided on merits.
The Tribunal upheld deletion of a ₹4.41 crore addition where the assessment relied only on a survey statement later retracted. It ruled that, without independent evidence, such admissions and loose papers cannot justify additions.
Identical prices and bids filed within minutes in two tenders were held to be strong evidence of coordination beyond mere coincidence.
The issue was whether reassessment becomes invalid when the return is filed on the same day as the assessment order. The Tribunal held that such belated filing cannot nullify a best-judgment reassessment.

The High Court rejected the challenge to reassessment notices issued by the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer. It held that the issue was already settled against the assessee.
The Tribunal remanded the case because the Commissioner (Appeals) decided a Section 248 appeal without hearing the Assessing Officer. The ruling highlights that statutory hearing requirements under Section 250 must be followed.
The High Court held that Fringe Benefit Tax and Section 14A disallowance cannot be added while computing MAT under Section 115JB. The ruling confirms that only adjustments expressly permitted by law can alter book profits.
