The Tribunal held that the issue of depreciation on leasehold improvements is identical to the previous assessment year and directed the Assessing Officer to verify additions made to assets based on evidence for proper determination of disallowance. The Tribunal also noted that the TPO's TP analysis was contested.
The Tribunal held that the remand proceedings should be confined to the issues raised in the original appeal and that the TPO could not introduce new issues. It also allowed the claim for deduction under Section 10A after considering post-facto approval from RBI.
The Tribunal held that the seized material relied upon by the Principal CIT was unsubstantiated and lacked corroborative evidence. The assessee was not given an opportunity for cross-examination, and the presumption under Section 132(4A) read with Section 292C was rebuttable.
The Tribunal held that the penalty order was properly passed and served within the due date. It also found that the assessee failed to demonstrate any reasonable cause or exigency for accepting cash loans, thus confirming the penalty.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had sufficiently explained the source of the cash deposit from earlier withdrawals. The addition made by the AO was not based on material evidence and was therefore deleted.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance made under section 143(1) was not a 'prima facie' adjustment as the tax auditor had merely recorded facts, not suggested disallowance. However, it also noted that the disallowance under section 36(1)(va) was justified based on subsequent Supreme Court rulings.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(a)(i) as its activities of providing credit facilities to members are covered by the said section. The AO's disallowance based on Section 80P(4) was incorrect in this context.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's activities, particularly accepting deposits from non-members and engaging in finance business, were akin to banking. Therefore, the deduction under Section 80P was rightly denied, following the Supreme Court's decision in Citizen Co-operative Society.

The Tribunal held that the assessee did not deposit the employees' contribution to PF/ESI within the due date as per the respective Act. Relying on the Supreme Court judgment in Checkmate Services, the Tribunal found substance in the Revenue's submission and dismissed the appeal.
The Tribunal held that the issue of inclusion of certain comparable companies (Akshay and Evoke) should be set aside to the AO/TPO for fresh consideration in light of information available in the public domain. Similarly, the issue of inclusion of SagarSoft as a comparable was remitted back to the AO/TPO for fresh examination.
The Tribunal held that for unabated assessment years, additions under section 153A are limited to income emanating from incriminating search material. Since the PCIT's issues were disclosed in the financials and not from incriminating material, the revisionary powers were incorrectly invoked.
The Tribunal, following its own prior decision in the assessee's own case, directed the Assessing Officer to allow the netting of interest income against interest expenditure.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of expenses related to seminars, conventions, and sales promotion needed fresh verification by the AO in light of a recent Supreme Court judgment.

The Tribunal held that the amount debited to the P&L account for bad debts, which was simultaneously reduced from trade receivables in the balance sheet, constituted an actual write-off and not a provision for diminution in value of an asset. Therefore, it could not be added back to book profits under Section 115JB.

The Tribunal held that the PCIT was not justified in setting aside the AO's order. The AO had conducted necessary inquiries and applied his mind, and the PCIT failed to provide material to show an error prejudicial to revenue. Therefore, the PCIT's order under Section 263 was without jurisdiction.

The Tribunal held that the seized ledger page did not belong to the assessee as the assessee's name was not mentioned and the land area did not match. Therefore, the addition made under Section 69B based on this document was unsustainable.

The Tribunal held that filing Form 67 is a directory, not mandatory, requirement and that the provisions of a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) override the Act and Rules. Therefore, the foreign tax credit should be allowed.
