The Tribunal held that the PCIT failed to consider the binding decision of a coordinate bench in the assessee's own case for an earlier assessment year on an identical issue. The Tribunal emphasized the principle of judicial discipline, stating that lower authorities are bound by the decisions of higher appellate authorities.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had a reasonable cause for the contravention of Section 269SS due to a clerical error, which was promptly rectified. Therefore, the penalty under Section 271D was not leviable.
The Tribunal decided on various grounds related to Section 80-IA deductions, disallowances under Section 14A, and interest expenses. The appeals by the Revenue were dismissed, and the Cross Objections filed by the assessee were partly allowed.

The Tribunal held that the addition for inflated purchases was not sustainable as it was based on a retracted statement and overlapped with the excess stock addition. The addition for excess stock was also deleted as the assessee's explanation regarding purchases was accepted. The deletion of unexplained cash deposits was upheld as the amount was already offered as income.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal. Since the quantum appeal for the same assessment year was set aside to the Assessing Officer (AO) for fresh adjudication, the penalty appeal was also set aside to the AO for fresh decision.
The Tribunal held that TDS credit should be allowed if the assessee can correlate the income offered to tax (in the current or earlier years) with the TDS deducted. The matter was restored to the AO for verification.

The Tribunal upheld the deletion of the disallowance, agreeing with the CIT(A) that no disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) is warranted when the payee has paid taxes on the income and provided proof. The Revenue's inability to controvert these facts or distinguish relied-upon judgments led to this decision.
The Tribunal held that the assessee consistently treated the land as a fixed asset (investment) for almost 10 years, capitalizing all expenses. Therefore, the sale proceeds should be treated as capital gains, not business income.
The Tribunal held that since the dispute regarding the TDS default (quantum under Section 201(1)/201(1A)) was settled under the Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, no subsequent penalty under Section 271C could be imposed.
The Tribunal found that the Form 26AS submitted by the assessee was updated after the CIT(A)'s order, showing the previously mismatched TDS credits. The issue was restored to the AO for verification of the updated Form 26AS.

The Tribunal held that the AO had travelled beyond the scope of the limited scrutiny notice issued under Section 143(2). The additions made for disallowance of interest under Section 14A and for 'bogus' commission were not covered by the specified issues in the notice.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) was correct in deleting the addition and disallowance. The AO's conclusion was based on assumptions and conjecture without cogent material, and the assessee had provided sufficient documentary evidence for the transactions.
The Tribunal held that the donation was made when the institution was approved and there were no embargoes at that time. Following a coordinate bench's decision, the Tribunal allowed the deduction.
The Tribunal held that the revenue failed to provide any documentary evidence for the investment in shares beyond Rs. 6,000. It also found that the fixed deposit was made from the sale proceeds of shares, as supported by bank statements.
The Tribunal held that the PCIT cannot invoke Section 263 revision proceedings when the issue is already pending before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)). Therefore, the PCIT's order was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the refund amount should first be adjusted against the interest payable to the assessee, and the balance, if any, should be adjusted against the principal amount. This approach is considered fair and just.
The Tribunal held that the Commissioner (Appeals) had erred in restricting the addition to 20% of the unaccounted income. The appeals of the Revenue were dismissed, while the appeals of the assessee were partly allowed.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer's calculation of the addition was erroneous as the interest received from NRPL was higher than the interest paid to Dena Bank, resulting in a negative difference. Therefore, no addition was warranted.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the CIT(Appeals) to verify if the disallowance for late deposit of employee's PF was added twice to the assessee's income. If confirmed, appropriate relief should be granted.
The tribunal held that interest income from nationalized banks is not eligible for deduction under Section 80P. However, the assessee is entitled to a deduction for proportionate expenditure incurred in mobilizing the funds for these deposits.
The Tribunal held that the AO had not conducted necessary inquiry before allowing the deduction under Section 54F. The assessee was found to be in possession of two residential houses, making the deduction inadmissible. The revision order by the PCIT was upheld.
The Tribunal held that disallowances under Section 14A cannot be directly applied to book profit computation under Section 115JB. For Section 115JB, an independent disallowance of 1% of exempted income was directed.
The Tribunal held that the Commissioner (Appeals) had erred in restricting the addition to 20% of the unaccounted income. The appeals of the Revenue were dismissed, while the appeals of the assessee were partly allowed.
The Tribunal held that interior expenses incurred on rented premises for the efficient running of business, even if enduring, are not capital in nature as they do not create a new asset and are directly related to revenue transactions. Therefore, the addition made by the AO was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) decided the issue without giving the assessee an opportunity to explain the source of cash deposits, violating principles of natural justice. Additional evidence was admitted, and the matter was set aside to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's explanation regarding the cash deposits being for site expenses incurred on behalf of the company was not properly considered. The Tribunal found the cash deposits to be genuine expenses and therefore justifiable.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were initiated without proper approval under Section 151 of the Act, as the approval obtained was for general scrutiny and not for income escaping assessment. Therefore, the notice under Section 148 was invalid, and the jurisdiction assumed by the AO was bad in law.
The Tribunal held that disallowances under Section 14A cannot be directly applied to book profit computation under Section 115JB. For Section 115JB, an independent disallowance of 1% of exempted income was directed.
