The Tribunal held that the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Pr.CIT) was incorrect in considering the AO's acceptance of the rectified JDA as erroneous. The Tribunal found no prejudice to the revenue as the reduced share was accounted for by the company, which reflected it in its return of income.
The Tribunal found that the assessee was not given a sufficient opportunity to cure the defect in the appeal. Therefore, the appeal was restored to the CIT(A) for a fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the Principal CIT erred in invoking Section 263 as the Assessing Officer had already considered the facts and accepted the assessee's submissions. There was no revenue implication or prejudice to the revenue.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had provided sufficient evidence to prove that the commission was paid for services rendered outside India. Therefore, the commission income was not taxable in India, and no TDS was required.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had provided sufficient evidence to prove that the commission was paid for services rendered outside India. Therefore, the commission income was not taxable in India, and no TDS was required.
The Tribunal held that since the revisional order under Section 263 was set aside by the ITAT and upheld by the High Court, the assessment order giving effect to it was liable to be set aside. Therefore, the CIT(A)'s order allowing the assessee's appeal was not erroneous.
The Tribunal condoned the delay, finding the assessee's explanation of ignorance regarding legal implications to be bonafide. The matter was restored to the CIT(E) for fresh consideration of the registration application.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal, adopting a liberal approach as per established legal principles.

The Tribunal held that the assessee had sufficiently explained the source of the cash deposits with supporting evidence, including cash bills from the bank and details of fees received. Therefore, the addition made by the Assessing Officer was not justified.
The Tribunal held that the Revenue authorities failed to establish that two of the individuals were 'specified persons' under Section 40A(2)(b). Furthermore, there was no basis provided by the AO or CIT(A) to determine the prevailing market rate of interest, making the disallowance of excess interest unsustainable.
The ITAT condoned the delay in filing the appeal, noting the grave prejudice caused to the assessee by the CIT(A)'s erroneous dismissal. The tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order and restored the matter for fresh adjudication on merits.

However, considering the submissions and the Department's no objection, the Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order and restored the matter to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of expenses was not justified as the assessee had provided sufficient details and the expenses were incurred for maintaining the commercial complex, which is the society's main object. The issue regarding deduction under Section 80P on interest income was remanded for verification.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) had ignored the assessee's request to refer the matter to the DVO for ascertaining the true market value. Therefore, the case was remanded back to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication after obtaining a DVO's report.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) exceeded his jurisdiction by making disallowances on interest and staff welfare expenses, which were not part of the AO's assessment. The Tribunal also found the disallowances to be in violation of natural justice as the assessee was not confronted with these issues.

The Tribunal held that Section 43B is not attracted when payment precedes the claim of expenditure. Since the service tax was paid in earlier years and written off as a business loss in the current year due to non-receipt of refund, the Ld. CIT(A) rightly allowed the claim.
The Tribunal held that the deduction claimed by the assessee, based on earlier years' ITAT orders allowing similar claims based on revenue realization, should be allowed. Consistency in tax proceedings was emphasized.
The Tribunal held that the penalty was not sustainable in law due to a total non-application of mind by both the Assessing Officer and the CIT(A). The penalty was levied partly on an addition that was deleted by the CIT(A) and lacked proper reasoning for the remaining addition.

The Tribunal held that in the interest of justice, the matter should be restored to the CIT(E) for de-novo consideration. The assessee was directed to comply with all notices diligently.
The Tribunal held that if the recipient of income has offered it in their return and paid taxes, the assessee is not considered in default for non-deduction of TDS, as per the second proviso to Section 40(a)(ia). However, a partial disallowance was upheld for a specific commission amount.
The Tribunal restored the matters to the file of the Assessing Officer with a direction that additions on a substantive basis can only be made either in the hands of the assessee or in the hands of M/s. Satyam Developers Ltd., but not in both. In the specific case of Shri Vyomesh Vinodrai Patel, the assessee had filed a confirmation letter from M/s. Satyam Developers Ltd. accepting ownership of the transactions. Therefore, if the addition is confirmed in the hands of M/s. Satyam Developers Ltd. on a substantive basis, the same addition cannot be made again in the hands of the assessee. The Tribunal noted that the Assessee had consistently maintained that the transactions belonged to M/s. Satyam Developers Ltd. For the other appeals, where facts and issues were similar, the same directions were applied. The Tribunal did not explicitly decide on the broader legal question of whether additions under Section 153A require incriminating material, but rather focused on the specific facts of double addition.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer and CIT(A) failed to establish the assessee's involvement in price manipulation. The suspension of the scrip occurred after the assessee sold the shares, and therefore, the exemption under Section 10(38) was rightly claimed.

The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) mentioned a notice for furnishing information, but it was unclear if this notice was served. In the interest of justice, the matter was remanded back to the CIT(A) for proper adjudication after giving the assessee an opportunity to be heard and submit evidence.
The Tribunal found no infirmity in the CIT(A)'s order, relying on a previous ITAT decision in the assessee's own case which allowed the deduction under Section 80IA(4). The assessee was found to fulfill the conditions for the deduction.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had provided sufficient explanation for the cash deposits, including withdrawals from bank accounts prior to demonetization and pension received in cash. The Assessing Officer and CIT(A) had ignored these details.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) passed an ex-parte order without proper opportunity for the assessee. Therefore, the matter was remanded back to the CIT(A) for adjudication on merits.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not send hearing notices to the email address provided by the assessee and that the assessee had opted out of email communication. Therefore, the ex-parte order was set aside to ensure natural justice.
