The Tribunal held that the renovation expenses were not for mere preservation and maintenance but resulted in an advantage in the capital field, thus constituting capital expenditure. The decision of the Commissioner (Appeals) was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the bad debt claim was not allowable as it was not a business debt and the amount was an interest-free loan.

The Tribunal held that reimbursable expenditure incurred by C&F agents on behalf of the assessee is not subject to TDS and therefore cannot be disallowed under Section 40(a)(ia). The CIT(Appeals) rightly restricted the disallowance.

The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to fulfill mandatory conditions for Section 10A deduction as the LOP expired and no renewal or exit application was filed. Consequently, the unit was no longer an approved 100% EOU under STPI.
The Tribunal held that ignorance of law is not an excuse and the assessee failed to establish a reasonable cause for non-deduction of TDS. The subsequent payment of TDS does not absolve the assessee of the penalty for failure to deduct tax as per law.
The Tribunal held that the sale of developed plots constituted an adventure in the nature of trade, not a mere realization of a capital asset. The assessee's active involvement in real estate business and the development and sale of land in plots supported this conclusion.

The Tribunal held that the assessee's original return filed on 29.09.2012 was a valid return under Section 139(1) as the assessee was a partner in a firm subject to tax audit, extending the due date. Consequently, the revised return filed on 21.10.2013 was valid under Section 139(5). However, the Tribunal directed the deletion of interest charged under Section 234A due to indeterminate facts regarding the assessee's status as a 'working partner'.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(Appeals) rightly deleted the addition as there was no evidence to show that the balance amount of ₹40,00,000/- was paid to the vendor, and the property was purchased by the company.
The Tribunal held that no disallowance under Section 14A can be made if there is no exempted income, following the Madras High Court judgment. It also held that Pooja expenses are for the well-being of the business and its employees, thus allowable.
The Tribunal held that the expenditure was incurred for maintaining an existing road to facilitate the smooth and efficient running of the business. Since no new asset was created and the expenditure was necessary for carrying on the business, it was considered revenue expenditure.
The Tribunal held that the assessee was not an agent of the franchisor, as per the franchise agreement. However, since details of the expenditure were not properly examined by lower authorities, the matter was remitted back for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal held that while the delay in filing the appeal was condoned due to the CA's medical issues, the same reason was not sufficient for not filing the audit report within the due date. The assessee's failure to comply with Section 44AB was a valid ground for penalty.
The Tribunal held that the incentives provided under the sales promotion schemes were not in the nature of interest and therefore, Section 194A was not applicable. It also held that bank charges for facilitating card payments did not constitute fees for technical services under Section 194J.

The Tribunal held that the reopening of assessment for AY 2007-08 and 2008-09 was valid. For disallowances under Section 40(a)(ia) on lease rentals, the matter was remitted to the AO to verify if the payee accounted for the income and paid taxes. The rectification order was also remitted for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal followed the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision in My Home Power Ltd., holding that Carbon Credits are not an offshoot of business but a capital receipt. Therefore, the sale of Carbon Credits should be treated as a capital receipt.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not properly examine the additional evidence and arguments presented by the assessee. Therefore, the matter was restored to the AO for fresh examination.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's property, though sub-divided floor-wise into three units, constituted a single residential building and not multiple independent houses. Therefore, the assessee was eligible for the benefit of Section 54F.
