The Tribunal held that applying an 8% net profit rate without any basis or comparable cases was not justified. The matter was set aside to the AO to apply the average net profit rate of the preceding five years.
The Tribunal held that the AO's reasons for reassessment were vague and lacked application of mind, rendering the notice under Section 148 and subsequent reassessment proceedings illegal and without jurisdiction. Therefore, the reassessment proceedings were quashed.
The Tribunal held that the receipts in question represented service tax and were correctly treated as balance sheet items, not undisclosed income. The license fees for the software were deemed revenue expenditure, not capital expenditure, as they did not provide an enduring benefit.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were invalid because the notice under Section 148 was issued beyond the four-year period without obtaining sanction from the Principal CIT as required by Section 151. The Tribunal also found that the reasons recorded by the AO were not valid for initiating reassessment.
The Tribunal held that the CIT should have considered the 12AA registration granted to the assessee and the subsequent assessment order which accepted the assessee's charitable activities.

Therefore, the penalty levied under Section 271(1)(b) was upheld.
The Tribunal held that the notice under Section 148 was not validly served as it was sent to an old address when the department had the assessee's updated addresses. Therefore, the reassessment proceedings initiated under Section 147/148 are bad in law.

The Tribunal also affirmed the allowance of depreciation, following its own previous decisions and the Delhi High Court's ruling in the assessee's own case.
The Tribunal held that the CIT's order was contradictory, as it acknowledged the society was running a school while also claiming its objects were on paper. Given that the department had accepted the society's exemption for previous years, the genuineness of its objects was established.

It also noted that the gift was disclosed in the capital account and the claim of relative status was incorrect but not a case of concealment or furnishing inaccurate particulars in the strict sense.
The Tribunal held that the penalty under Section 271AAA was not justified as the amount was not surrendered during the search and the assessee had substantiated the source of the income. The penalty was cancelled.
