The Tribunal held that the transactions were not loans or deposits in violation of Section 271D, as the funds were collected by the trust on behalf of students and transferred to the assessee, where a director was also a trustee. Furthermore, for earlier assessment years, the penalty proceedings were initiated after an unreasonable delay of six years, making them time-barred.
The tribunal held that filing a revision petition under Section 264 does not bar an appeal. It also found that the financial hardship constituted a reasonable cause for delayed payment, thus setting aside the penalty.
The Tribunal held that the amendments to Section 80IB(10) introducing sub-clauses (e) and (f) were prospective and applicable from 01.04.2010. As per Board Circular 5 of 2010, these restrictions do not apply to allotments made before 19.08.2009.
The CIT(A) accepted the assessee's contention that the amount was a repayment of loan and deleted the addition. The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order after verifying the books of accounts.
The Tribunal held that according to Accounting Standard 9, revenue recognition can be postponed if there is significant uncertainty in ultimate collection. Given the dispute and legal proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction, the revenue was not recognized as it was uncertain to be recovered.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeals, prioritizing substantial justice over technical considerations. The Tribunal allowed the assessee's claim for depreciation, following a Supreme Court decision on an identical issue.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, agreeing that the disallowance of 25% of the clearing and forwarding charges was justifiable due to the lack of proper external vouchers. Consequently, the assessee's cross-objection against sustaining any addition was dismissed.
The Tribunal upheld the order of the CIT(A) which deleted the addition. The Tribunal found that the outstanding balances arose from commercial exigencies and regular trading business, and therefore, Section 2(22)(e) was not applicable, especially in light of CBDT circulars and various judicial precedents.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal for AY 1999-2000. For other assessment years, the appeals were partly allowed for statistical purposes, with specific grounds being allowed or dismissed based on evidence and judicial precedents.
The Tribunal held that penalty under Section 271(1)(c) cannot be levied when the assessee admits additional income to avoid confrontation, especially when the addition is based on presumptions and not concrete evidence. The CIT(A)'s deletion of penalty was upheld.

The tribunal restored the issue of maintenance charges and depreciation on fire fighting and lift equipment to the Assessing Officer for re-adjudication, following its own previous orders. The miscellaneous expenses paid to M/s. Aban Hotels and Resorts were held to be a loss of capital, not revenue expenditure.
The Tribunal held that the penalty notices were invalid because they used 'or' instead of 'and' between the two possible defaults, failing to clearly inform the assessee of the specific charge. Consequently, the penalty orders were set aside.
The Tribunal held that translation services are not technical services as per Explanation 2 to Section 9(1)(vii) of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, the assessee was not required to deduct tax at source on such payments.
The Tribunal held that penalty under Section 271(1)(c) cannot be levied when the assessee admits additional income to avoid confrontation, especially when the addition is based on presumptions and not concrete evidence. The CIT(A)'s deletion of penalty was upheld.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's activities, which involved imparting financial education through programs sponsored by private companies, constituted rendering services in relation to trade or business. Therefore, it did not fall under the definition of 'charitable purpose' as per Section 2(15) of the Act.
The Tribunal held that the income from the capital gain on the transaction was hypothetical as the development fell through due to lack of permissions. Therefore, no profit or gain arose from the transfer of a capital asset.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's explanation of not having an experienced person locally was not a valid reason for the significant delay in filing TDS returns. The Tribunal found the facts similar to previous High Court judgments that upheld penalties for such failures.

The Tribunal held that a statement recorded during a survey under Section 133A, without administering an oath, has no evidentiary value. The Tribunal also noted CBDT instructions to collect material evidence rather than extract disclosures. The reconciliation statement filed by the assessees was also considered.

The Tribunal held that the SAR is a right on appreciation and not a capital asset, thus the profit should be taxed as revenue. It also directed verification of the refund and deductibility of HRA and professional tax.
The Tribunal held that even if the payment was contrary to the Companies Act, it would be assessed as income under the Income-tax Act if not recovered. Since the assessee failed to provide material evidence of recovery or book adjustment, the addition was confirmed.
The Tribunal noted that some of the alleged accommodation entries were opening balances and should be assessed in prior years. For the Rs. 10 lakh transaction with M/s. Shipra Fabrics P. Ltd., the Tribunal directed the AO to verify if it was added in a previous year and to decide afresh after hearing the assessee. The disallowance of interest was allowed for statistical purposes.
The Tribunal noted that the jurisdictional High Court had remitted the issue back to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration. Therefore, the Tribunal also decided to remit the issue for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal confirmed the order of the CIT(Appeals), which directed the exclusion of telecom charges from both export turnover and total turnover. This decision was based on a prior ruling by the same Tribunal.
The Tribunal held that the AO's failure to consider the higher guideline value under Section 50C made the assessment order erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue. Therefore, the PCIT rightly invoked Section 263 to direct a fresh assessment.
The Tribunal confirmed the deletion of disallowance under Section 14A as the assessee earned no exempt income, following the jurisdictional High Court's judgment. The disallowance under Section 43B was also confirmed as the employee contribution was deposited within the due date for filing the return.
The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had not considered certain judicial precedents cited by the assessee. Due to a lack of vivid explanation of the assessee's process, the Tribunal remitted the matter back to the Assessing Officer for de-novo consideration.
The Tribunal upheld the disallowance of transport charges under Section 40A(3) as payments were made in cash exceeding the prescribed limit. However, it allowed the provision for overtime wages, stating it was an incurred expense under the mercantile system of accounting.
The Tribunal noted that the CBDT instructions mandate not to file appeals where the tax effect is below ₹10 lakhs. Since the tax effect in this case was below the threshold, the appeal was considered not maintainable.
The CIT(A) partly allowed the assessee's appeal. The Tribunal heard both sides and perused the materials on record to decide the appeal.
The Tribunal found that the assessee's detailed submissions, additional grounds, and extensive paper book required verification. Therefore, the matter was remitted back to the AO for de-novo consideration in the interest of justice.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition. It followed its own prior ruling in the assessee's own case for AY 2011-12, where a similar issue was decided in favor of the assessee.
