The Tribunal held that interest under Section 201(1A) can only be charged from the date of default until the date the deductee actually paid their tax. The Assessing Officer's computation of interest up to March 31, 2010, was disapproved.
The Tribunal held that surcharge and education cess are not included in the definition of 'tax' for the purpose of determining the tax effect. Consequently, the tax effect was below the monetary limit prescribed by CBDT circulars for filing appeals.
The Tribunal noted that the appeal was filed in violation of CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which mandates a minimum tax effect for filing appeals. The Revenue's counsel did not press the appeal in light of this circular.
The Tribunal held that since the addition, which formed the basis for the penalty, was subsequently deleted by a co-ordinate bench in the quantum appeal, the penalty could not be sustained.
The Tribunal held that the AO made additions without any incriminating material found during the search and seizure operation. The additions were based purely on material already on record, which is not sustainable in law.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the additions. It found that the seized Form A, relied upon by the AO, was not substantiated by other evidence and that the assessee had sufficient interest-free funds to cover the advances made.

The Tribunal held that additions made under Section 153A are sustainable only if based on incriminating material found during a search. Since the assessment for AY 2005-06 was completed before the search and no incriminating material was found, the assessment order under Section 153A was quashed.
The Tribunal found that the AO's order was non-speaking and did not properly appreciate the documentary evidence filed by the assessee. The CIT(A) also failed to appreciate the facts and circumstances. Therefore, both orders were set aside.
The Tribunal held that the issue was squarely covered by its own previous decision and the Hon'ble High Court's decision in the assessee's own case. The income was not considered crystallized and therefore could not be treated as income in the hands of the assessee.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable as it violated the CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which prescribes a pecuniary limit of Rs. 10 lacs for Revenue appeals to the ITAT. This circular has statutory force under Section 268A of the IT Act.
The Tribunal held that in the absence of any incriminating material found during the search, additions cannot be made under Section 153A for assessments that had already attained finality and did not abate. Completed assessments can only be interfered with if incriminating material is unearthed during the search.
The Tribunal held that the issue of whether AMP expenses constitute an international transaction needs fresh determination by the AO/TPO in light of High Court judgments. Similarly, the addition on account of closing stock valuation under Section 145A was set aside for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision that the orders passed by the TDS officers lacked jurisdiction as the assessee's territorial jurisdiction did not lie with them. Therefore, the orders were not maintainable.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were valid as there was a 'live nexus' between the material found and the AO's belief of escaped income. The Tribunal also upheld the addition of undisclosed short-term capital gains, finding the agreement to be genuine and acted upon.
The Tribunal, following established rules and precedents, treated the appeal as unadmitted due to the assessee's non-appearance. The appeal was dismissed in limine, with a possibility of recall if valid reasons for non-appearance are provided.
The Tribunal held that Section 43B of the Income Tax Act mandates that deduction for any tax, duty, cess, or fee is allowable only upon actual payment. Since the service tax was not paid and was claimed as a deduction, the addition made by the AO was upheld.
The tribunal held that while the identity of the creditor was proven, the genuineness and creditworthiness were not established. The creditor's low declared income and bank balance, coupled with the suspicious nature of the transaction, led to the dismissal of the appeal.
The Tribunal admitted the additional ground of appeal raised by the assessee concerning the jurisdictional issue. It held that the assessment order passed against a non-existent entity is bad in law and goes to the root of the matter.
The Tribunal held that the assessment order passed in the name of M/s. Suzuki Powertrain India Ltd., which had amalgamated with M/s Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. and ceased to exist, was void ab initio. The Tribunal relied on its own earlier decision for Assessment Year 2011-12 and the judgments of the Delhi High Court in CIT vs. Micra India (P.) Ltd. and Spice Infotainment Ltd. vs. CIT. It was reasoned that framing an assessment against a non-existent entity is not a procedural irregularity curable under Section 292B, but a jurisdictional defect that goes to the root of the matter, as there cannot be an assessment against a 'dead person'. The Tribunal also referred to CIT vs. Dimension Apparels Pvt. Ltd., which clarifies that in case of amalgamation, assessment must be made on the successor as per Section 170(2). Since the assessment order dated 29.12.2015 was passed in the name of the amalgamating company which was not in existence, it was deemed invalid and quashed. Consequently, the appeal was allowed on this ground, and other issues were not adjudicated.
The Tribunal held that in the absence of any incriminating material found during the search, additions cannot be made under Section 153A for assessments that had already attained finality and did not abate. Completed assessments can only be interfered with if incriminating material is unearthed during the search.

The Tribunal held that the issue of whether AMP expenses constitute an international transaction needs fresh determination by the AO/TPO in light of High Court judgments. Similarly, the addition on account of closing stock valuation under Section 145A was set aside for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that a mere omission to offer capital gains to tax does not automatically amount to concealment or furnishing inaccurate particulars, especially given the assessee's circumstances. The Assessing Officer's satisfaction for penalty was not adequately demonstrated.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee's counsel had instructions to withdraw the appeal. The Revenue did not object to the withdrawal.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) correctly allowed depreciation at the admissible rate of 80% for the boiler, as it qualified as an energy-saving device. It also upheld the deletion of the disallowance of short-term capital loss on plant and machinery, finding that the block of assets had ceased to exist.
The Tribunal, following the Uttarakhand High Court's decision in CIT vs. Anchal Hotels Pvt. Ltd., set aside the issue to the Assessing Officer. The AO was directed to reconsider the claim for deduction under Section 80IC after examining the criteria for eco-tourism.
The Tribunal, following established rules and precedents, decided that no useful purpose would be served by repeatedly issuing notices. Therefore, the appeal was treated as unadmitted and dismissed.

The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal as the tax effect was below the monetary limit prescribed by CBDT Circular No. 21 of 2015 for filing appeals. The assessee did not press their cross-objections, which were also dismissed.
The Tribunal held that additions under Section 153A can only be made based on incriminating material found during search, not on statements alone or for completed assessments without such material. Since no incriminating material was linked to the addition, it was deleted.
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal. It held that allowing depreciation was not double deduction, particularly for the assessment year in question, and upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to allow carry forward of deficit based on previous judicial precedents.
The Tribunal held that AMP expenses constitute an international transaction and that the TPO has jurisdiction to determine its arm's length price. However, the bright-line test is not applicable, and the AMP expenses should be aggregated with distribution activities for ALP determination.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of expenses and the classification of income do not amount to concealment of income. The penalty imposed under Section 271(1)(c) was not justified as all facts were disclosed to the Assessing Officer.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were bad in law because the reasons recorded did not allege failure on the part of the assessee to disclose material facts, and a second set of reasons was recorded without a fresh notice. The reassessment proceedings were quashed.
The Tribunal held that AMP expenses constitute an international transaction and the TPO has jurisdiction to determine its arm's length price. However, the matter was restored to the TPO for fresh determination, considering the existence of an international transaction and applying relevant High Court judgments.
