The Tribunal held that the income was indeed taxable in the hands of the beneficiaries who had already offered it to tax. The AO's view that the beneficiaries' shares were indeterminate was not accepted.
The Tribunal held that while the AO failed to make necessary enquiries, making the assessment order erroneous, the issue of disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) was debatable and decided in favour of the assessee by higher courts. Therefore, no prejudice was caused to the revenue.
The Tribunal held that the exemption under Section 54F could not be allowed as the property was booked in the daughter's name and the assessee did not have an enforceable right in his own name within the stipulated time frame.
The Tribunal held that relinquishment of a share in a property in favour of co-owners constitutes a transfer. Therefore, capital gains arising from such a transfer are exigible to tax.
The Tribunal dismissed the assessee's appeal as not pressed. It upheld the CIT(Appeals)'s finding that the property was stock-in-trade, thus it could not be part of taxable wealth, and dismissed the Revenue's wealth tax appeals.
The Tribunal held that the amendment to Section 40(a)(ia) by the Finance Act, 2010, which allows deduction if TDS is paid before the due date of filing the return, is retrospective. Therefore, the disallowance made by the AO was not sustainable.
The Tribunal held that the amendment to Section 40(a)(ia) by the Finance Act, 2010, which allows deduction if TDS is paid on or before the due date for filing the return of income, is retrospective. Therefore, the disallowance made by the AO was not sustainable.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(Appeals)'s order, finding the AO's estimation of agricultural income erroneous and unreliable. The CIT(Appeals)'s estimation, which considered income from inter-crops, was deemed more reasonable.
The Tribunal held that the issue of depreciation adjustment sought by the assessee was not adequately substantiated and remitted it to the Assessing Officer/TPO for fresh examination. The Tribunal also noted that the assessee did not press other grounds if its submissions on the margin were accepted.

The Tribunal held that expenditure on application software is revenue in nature, following its own prior decisions. It also held that insurance premia on housing loans are revenue expenditure and deductible in the year incurred.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee an opportunity to provide necessary approvals for Section 10(23G) exemption. Regarding software expenses, the Tribunal followed a High Court ruling that application software enhancing efficiency, without providing enduring benefit or ownership, is revenue expenditure.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is not a co-operative bank and is therefore entitled to deduction under Section 80P(2)(a)(i) for interest earned on surplus funds. The decision in Totgars Co-operative Sale Society Ltd. was distinguished as the interest income was attributable to the business of providing credit facilities.
The Tribunal held that the payments received from Indian distributors for software licenses were in the nature of royalty, following precedents from the Karnataka High Court and its own co-ordinate bench. Consequently, the issue was decided in favour of the revenue.
The Tribunal held that the foreign exchange forward contracts were entered into by the assessee, who was not a dealer in foreign exchange, as a hedge against currency fluctuations incidental to its export business. Therefore, the loss incurred was a business loss and not a speculative loss.
The Tribunal held that the assessee was liable to deduct TDS under Section 194C on the payment for advertisement space, thus upholding the disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia). However, the issue regarding the applicability of Section 40(a)(ia) to paid expenditure was remanded to the Assessing Officer.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had discharged his onus regarding loans from certain creditors by providing confirmations and evidence of their appearance before the AO. However, for other loans, the matter required fresh consideration by the AO due to insufficient substantiation.
The Tribunal found that while the assessee had produced a cash book, the confirmations from debtors lacked complete particulars and were not examined. The Tribunal set aside the orders and remitted the issue back to the AO for verification of the confirmations by issuing summons.
The Tribunal held that the issue of whether lease rental receipts should be treated as business income or income from house property requires fresh consideration in light of a previous Tribunal order for a different assessment year. The matter was remitted to the Assessing Officer.
The Tribunal held that payments for shrink-wrapped software are in the nature of royalty, following previous High Court and Tribunal decisions. However, it also held that interest under Section 234B is not leviable as the payer is responsible for TDS.
The Tribunal held that a cooperative bank, being a cooperative society, is eligible for the deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) on interest income. The restrictive interpretation by the CIT was not warranted by the wording of the section.
The Tribunal held that the absence of the original MOU was not fatal and that the CIT should re-examine the commercial expediency. The assessee was granted another opportunity to present its case before the CIT due to the counsel's personal circumstances.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee an opportunity to provide necessary approvals for Section 10(23G) exemption. Regarding software expenses, the Tribunal followed a High Court ruling that application software enhancing efficiency, without providing enduring benefit or ownership, is revenue expenditure.
The Tribunal held that while financial difficulties and past history are relevant, they cannot be the sole ground for deleting the entire penalty when a significant portion of the tax remains unpaid. The penalty was therefore restricted.
