The Tribunal held that credit card commission charges are in the nature of bank charges and not commission, thus Section 194H is not attracted. The CIT(Appeals) order was confirmed as it followed a valid Tribunal order.
The Tribunal held that since the capital gains on the sale of the same property were already taxed in the hands of the husband as the beneficial owner, taxing it again in the hands of the assessee (co-owner) would amount to double taxation. Therefore, the addition made in the assessee's hands was deleted.
The Tribunal restored the matter back to the Assessing Officer (AO) for a fresh decision. This was done to provide the assessee with an opportunity to cross-examine the third party and to furnish them with a copy of the statement relied upon, as per the directions of the Karnataka High Court.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the Assessing Officer (AO) for a fresh decision. This was done to provide the assessee with an opportunity to cross-examine the third party and to furnish details of the statement based on which the assessment was made.

The Tribunal held that depreciation is allowable on assets even if their cost was claimed as application of income, as it does not amount to double deduction. It also held that excess expenditure incurred by a charitable trust in earlier years can be carried forward and set off against income in subsequent years.
The Tribunal held that the AO's addition was without basis as there was no finding that the loans were not from surplus funds. The CIT(A)'s deletion of the addition was upheld.
The Tribunal held that the CBDT circular regarding monetary limits for appeals should be applied separately for each assessment year, even in cases of composite orders. The decision of the Karnataka High Court on similar grounds was followed.
The Tribunal held that the write-off of CENVAT credit was not allowable as a deduction. Since the income from the project was claimed as a deduction under Section 80IB(10) in earlier years and not included in taxable income, the write-off did not meet the requirements of Section 36(2) for deduction of bad debts.
The Tribunal held that the reasons for the delay were acceptable, considering the ongoing dispute regarding the head of income for rental income. The CIT(A) ought to have condoned the delay.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in deciding the issue based on fresh evidence without obtaining a remand report from the AO. Therefore, the matter was restored back to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision after obtaining a remand report.
The Tribunal restored the matter back to the AO for fresh adjudication. For commission payments, the Tribunal noted that if they were not debited to the P&L account, no disallowance could be made. For labour charges, the Tribunal found the disallowance to be ad-hoc and required a comparative analysis with earlier years.
The Tribunal upheld the disallowance, agreeing with the CIT(A) that no actual liability existed during the relevant period as no credit entries were made in consumer accounts and the credit entry for GESCOM was made after the year-end. Therefore, the provision for negative price variation was considered a notional loss.
The Tribunal considered both the appeal filed by the Revenue and the cross-objection filed by the assessee. After hearing both parties, the Tribunal decided to dismiss both the appeal and the cross-objection.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A)'s order did not consider the latest judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in The Citizen Co-operative Society Ltd. vs. ACIT. Therefore, the matter was restored to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision after considering this judgment and comparing the facts.
The Tribunal held that the TPO and Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) had not properly examined the evidence provided by the assessee regarding the services rendered and the use of intellectual property. Therefore, the matter was remanded back to the TPO for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order, directing the CIT(A) to treat the electronically filed appeal as valid and decide the matter on merits after providing an opportunity of being heard.
The Tribunal held that the CBDT Circular No. 21/2015 is applicable as the tax effect was below the prescribed monetary limit. Therefore, the appeal filed by the Revenue was not maintainable.
The Tribunal held that the validity of the search could not be examined due to a statutory amendment. However, additions based on seized material and third-party statements were deleted due to lack of corroboration, non-provision of cross-examination, and failure to provide seized material to the assessee.
The Tribunal decided that it was precluded from examining the validity of the search action due to a Finance Act amendment. However, for assessment years 2008-09 to 2011-12, the Tribunal allowed the appeals on merits, deleting additions on account of unaccounted cash sales and bogus expenditure, by following a previous decision.
The Tribunal held that the addition of share application money cannot be treated as unexplained cash credits in the hands of the assessee, following the Supreme Court's decision in Lovely Exports. The Revenue's appeal on this issue was dismissed.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(Appeals)'s decision to delete the protective additions regarding unaccounted payments and unexplained expenditure. The Tribunal found that similar additions were deleted in related cases, and therefore, the same findings applied to the assessee.
The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeals for AY 2005-06 to 2007-08 and 2010-11. For AY 2007-08 and 2011-12, the appeals were partly allowed, with certain additions deleted and the issue of telescoping remanded.
The Tribunal held that the issue of share application money should be considered in the hands of the shareholders, not the recipient company. Following Supreme Court and High Court precedents, the addition made by the AO was not sustained.
The Tribunal upheld the reopening of assessment under Section 147, finding it was done in accordance with law. However, it did not provide a specific ruling on the addition of Rs. 56.40 crores as unexplained cash credits, but the overall dismissal of the Revenue's appeal implies this addition was not sustained.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in deleting the additions for unexplained cash credits. However, it ruled that the assessee is entitled to depreciation at 40% on the helicopter, treating it similarly to an aeroplane based on common parlance and judicial precedent.
The Tribunal held that the assessment framed under Section 147 was not sustainable in law because the AO failed to supply a copy of the reasons recorded for reopening the assessment, despite repeated requests. This failure goes to the root of the matter and invalidates the assessment proceedings.
The Tribunal directed the AO to recompute the Section 10A deduction by reducing the telecommunication expenses from total turnover as well, following the Karnataka High Court. It upheld the disallowance of depreciation and the applicability of Section 40(a)(ia) on software payments, following the same High Court judgment.
The Tribunal held that the exemption under Section 10(5) is only for travel within India and subject to specific conditions like using the shortest route. Since the employees travelled abroad or took circuitous routes, the bank was not justified in not deducting TDS.
