The Tribunal held that the ownership of the land and buildings vests in the society, and the land on which hoardings were erected is appurtenant to the buildings. Therefore, the income is taxable under the head 'income from house property'.
The Tribunal found it unclear whether the Rs. 4,08,000 rental income was already included in the declared business profit of Rs. 40,000. Therefore, the matter was remitted to the Assessing Officer for verification.
The Tribunal held that the creditor had appeared and provided evidence of agricultural income, and the denial of a transaction by the buyer of agricultural products did not directly involve the assessee. Findings in quantum proceedings alone cannot sustain a penalty.
The Tribunal held that while the assessee's explanation for the entire amount was not fully substantiated, a penalty to the extent of reasonable profit on a portion of the deposits (Rs. 4,37,265/-) was justified. The balance penalty was deleted.
The Tribunal, following its own co-ordinate bench's decision in the assessee's own case for earlier years, held that no disallowance under Section 14A was warranted.

The assessee had relied on a valuation report and disclosed all material facts.
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was below the monetary limit prescribed by CBDT Circular No. 21/2015. Therefore, the appeal was liable to be dismissed as withdrawn.

The Tribunal held that the second proviso to Section 40(a)(ia) has retrospective effect, allowing the issue to be remitted for verification of TDS payments.

The Tribunal held that the profits from share transactions should be treated as capital gains, following its own previous orders and those of a co-ordinate bench. The issue of set off of losses was remanded for factual verification.
The tribunal held that Section 14A read with Rule 8D is not applicable in the absence of exempt income. It also held that the due date for PF/ESI contributions is based on the actual payment date, not the salary month.
The tribunal upheld the disallowance of employees' PF/ESI contributions due to delayed payment. The decision was based on a jurisdictional High Court ruling on similar facts.

The Tribunal held that the assessee had consistently treated shares as investments in its balance sheets and that past assessments also accepted gains from share transactions as capital gains. The Tribunal noted that CBDT circulars allow for investment and business portfolios, and that court decisions support treating PMS transactions as capital gains.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) had taken too narrow a view of his powers regarding additional evidence. The additional evidence was deemed necessary for adjudicating the appeal, and the CIT(A) should have admitted it.
The Tribunal held that Section 40A(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act is not applicable when the purchase price is lower than the market price. The addition made by the Assessing Officer was not found to have merit.

The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's argument that specific amounts totaling Rs. 15,895/- (Rs. 8,059/- and Rs. 7,836/-) were paid within the prescribed time. Therefore, the disallowance to that extent was directed to be deleted.
The Tribunal found that the sole basis for the fair market value was comparable sale instances, which are unreliable for transactions from the late seventies and early eighties due to rampant use of unaccounted money. The penalty was therefore not sustainable.
