The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) acted beyond its jurisdiction by directing the AO to tax capital gains on land sale, as this was not an issue in the original assessment or the appeal. The Tribunal also noted that the AO had not properly dealt with the assessee's reply and documents, and the CIT(A) had ignored crucial records.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, finding that the nature of the assessee's business involving high temperatures (up to 1200°C) meant that fixtures and spares had a short useful life and were therefore revenue expenses. The Tribunal agreed that these items did not result in enduring benefit to the assessee.
The Tribunal noted that CBDT Circular No. 21 of 2015 mandates not filing or withdrawing appeals where the tax effect is less than Rs. 10 lacs. The Tribunal held that the Revenue should not have filed the instant appeal.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of the assessment was bad in law because the Additional Commissioner (ACIT) had not applied his mind and recorded proper satisfaction before approving the reopening, as required by Section 151. Consequently, the assessment order was declared void ab initio.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal before the CIT(A) due to the difference in addresses. The order of the CIT(A) was set aside, and the matter was restored for a fresh decision.
The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner (Appeals)'s decision to delete the disallowances for gratuity, foreign exchange fluctuation loss, and Section 10A exemption, finding them to be allowable. The depreciation claim on impaired assets was also confirmed as allowable.
The Tribunal held that e-Clerx Services Ltd., being a Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) company with significant intangibles, is not comparable to the assessee, which provides routine Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services. Therefore, e-Clerx should be excluded from the list of comparables.
The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner (Appeals)'s decision to delete the disallowances for gratuity, foreign exchange fluctuation loss, and Section 10A exemption, finding them to be allowable. The depreciation claim on impaired assets was also confirmed as allowable.
The Tribunal held that royalty income and payments should not be considered as operating income and expenses for determining the profit-level indicator (PLI). It also directed the AO to re-examine the risk adjustment claimed by the assessee regarding foreign exchange fluctuations.
The Tribunal considered the nature of software sales and ancillary services. It examined whether the payments constituted royalty under the Income Tax Act and the India-Finland Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), particularly in light of retrospective amendments to the Act.
The Tribunal held that penalty cannot be imposed solely on the basis of estimated additions, especially when books of accounts have not been rejected. The AO and CIT(A) failed to demonstrate proper application of mind and independent inquiry before imposing the penalty.
The Tribunal held that the department should not have filed the appeal given the low tax effect, as per CBDT circulars and Section 268A of the Income Tax Act. The assessee's cross-objection was dismissed as not pressed.
The Tribunal held that the CBDT circular mandates that appeals with a tax effect below Rs. 10,00,000/- should not be filed or should be withdrawn. Therefore, the department should not have filed this appeal.
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was below the threshold specified by CBDT circular for filing appeals. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed without going into the merits of the case.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer was precluded from making additions beyond the CASS reasons without proper permission. Furthermore, the assessment order was passed under Section 144 without granting the assessee a proper opportunity of hearing or issuing a show cause notice.
The Tribunal upheld the adjustment made by the TPO regarding the arm's length price for marketing support services. For other grounds, the matter was restored to the AO or dismissed based on prior rulings and lack of contradictory evidence.

The Tribunal held that the TPO's role is limited to determining ALP, not the benefit accrual, which is for the Assessing Officer (AO) under Section 37(1). Regarding royalty, the Tribunal found the TPO's distinction between domestic and export sales untenable and followed its own precedent to delete the addition.
The Tribunal held that the AO and CIT(A) erred in rejecting the books of account based on a previous order that was set aside. The reasons provided by the assessee for the low gross profit were not controverted and were sufficient to justify the actual gross profit, making the comparison with the preceding year unjustified.
The Tribunal held that since the quantum additions were set aside, the penalty levied on those additions also deserved to be set aside. The matter was remanded to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
