Regarding salary, the Tribunal deleted the disallowance based on acceptance of similar remuneration in preceding and succeeding years.
The Tribunal held that the Department ought not to have filed the appeal as the tax effect was less than the prescribed monetary limit for filing appeals before the ITAT, as per CBDT Instruction No. 5/2014 and Section 268A of the Income Tax Act.
The Tribunal held that additions under Section 153A must be based on incriminating material found during a search. Since no such material was found, the additions were not sustainable.
