The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to treat reimbursements as non-income, as TDS deduction on such payments does not convert them into income. However, the confirmation of Rs. 7,66,775/- was justified due to the assessee's failure to reconcile these specific variations.
The Tribunal followed a coordinate bench's decision in a similar case and set aside the CIT(A)'s order. The matter was remanded back to the AO for re-adjudication, with directions to provide the assessee with sufficient opportunity to prove the genuineness of the loan with circumstantial evidence.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer did not find any irregularity in the assessee's books of accounts. Since the purchases were made through banking channels and the assessee provided supporting documents, the addition as bogus purchases was not justified.
The Tribunal held that depreciation is allowable even if the cost of assets was treated as application of income. This is because depreciation is a distinct deduction allowed by the Act for charitable trusts, and it does not amount to double deduction.
The Tribunal upheld the disallowance of the employees' PF contribution. It followed the Gujarat High Court's decision that if PF contributions are not deposited within the time limit provided in the respective Acts, deduction is not admissible.

The Tribunal held that since the assessee was in the business of share trading and dividend income was incidental, no disallowance under Section 14A was warranted. The Tribunal followed its own previous decisions on identical facts.

The Tribunal also found that the reopening of assessment was not valid as the Assessing Officer failed to demonstrate any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose material facts.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal. It held that the AO should have referred the valuation of the property to a Valuation Officer as per Section 50C(2) of the Income Tax Act, as the assessee was not given a proper opportunity to object.
The Tribunal held that the 24% interest rate on unsecured loans was not excessive, considering the risk factor and lack of collateral. It followed a previous decision in the assessee's own case for a similar issue.
The Tribunal held that Section 234E is a charging provision and the levy of fees for late filing was permissible even before the amendment to Section 200A. Therefore, the fee levied by the CPC was valid.

The Tribunal upheld the disallowance, agreeing with the CIT(A) that delayed deposit of employee contributions to PF/ESIC disentitles the assessee to a deduction. This was based on the jurisdictional High Court's ruling in the State Road Transport Corporation case.
The Tribunal held that since the assessment proceedings under section 153C were quashed by a previous Tribunal order due to the Assessing Officer's failure to record satisfaction, the basis for the penalty was extinguished. Therefore, the penalty was rightly deleted.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) failed to adhere to the mandate of Section 250(b) by not formulating points of dispute and recording reasons. The appeals were therefore set aside for re-adjudication.
The Tribunal considered the assessee's claim for amortization of preliminary expenses under Section 35D. The CIT(A) had disallowed a portion of these expenses.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that minor delays in filing Form 27C declarations from manufacturer buyers should not deny relief, as there was substantial compliance. However, TCS liability was confirmed for sales to traders.

The Tribunal found the CIT(A)'s action of reducing expenses from receipts in bank accounts and considering the difference as net income to be rational. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to exclude already declared income and treat the differential amount as undisclosed income.
The Tribunal held that if the assessee obtained necessary declarations from contractors and filed the prescribed return (Form 26Q) even belatedly, there was no statutory obligation to deduct TDS under section 194C. Consequently, section 40(a)(ia) was not attracted.
The Tribunal granted the assessee's prayer for withdrawal of the appeal. The appeal was dismissed as having been withdrawn.
The Tribunal held that a loss arising from damages paid for breach of contract, where the transaction is foreclosed without delivery, is not a speculative transaction. Such expenditure is allowable as ordinary business loss under Section 37(1).
The Tribunal found that the Revenue's appeal was covered by the CBDT circular and the tax effect did not exceed the prescribed limit. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed as not maintainable.
