The Tribunal found that the assessee claimed to have furnished the required information, which was not reflected in the CIT's order. Therefore, the matter was remitted back to the CIT for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s directions regarding interest on PDCs. The issue of additional payments was set aside to the AO for verification of whether such payments were claimed as expenditure. The disallowance under Section 40A(3) was deleted.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee was not present and had not filed any adjournment application. It was inferred that the assessee was no longer interested in pursuing the appeal.
The CIT(A) deleted the addition, noting that the property was duly recorded in the assessee's audited accounts and balance sheet, which were filed prior to the search. The Tribunal upheld this deletion, finding no contrary material.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was time-barred and un-admitted. It was further held that an appeal requires effective prosecution, not just filing. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed.
The Tribunal held that the expenditure was rightly booked in the assessment year under appeal after necessary testing and crystallization of the liability. The AO's rejection of the assessee's contention without material evidence was unjustified.
The Tribunal held that the AO made the addition on a hypothetical basis without sufficient evidence and wrongly invoked Section 2(47) for shares. Regarding Section 145A, the Tribunal found that the assessee's working correctly showed no net impact on profit, and the AO's addition was unjustified.

The tribunal held that an appeal requires effective prosecution, not just filing. Since the assessee failed to appear, the appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were bad in law. It found that the reasons recorded by the AO did not indicate any failure on the part of the assessee to disclose material facts, and the reopening was based on a reappraisal of the same facts already considered during the original assessment.

The Tribunal, in accordance with Rule 19(2) of ITAT Rules and various judicial precedents, treated the appeals as unadmitted. The Tribunal dismissed the appeals in limine due to the assessee's non-appearance and inferred lack of interest in prosecuting the appeals.

The Tribunal held that the date of recording satisfaction by the AO of the searched person is the relevant date for determining the period of limitation under Section 153C when the AO of the searched person and the assessee are the same. Consequently, assessment for AY 2003-04 was outside the scope of Section 153C.
The Tribunal held that the assessee appeared to be not interested in prosecuting the appeal. Therefore, the appeal was liable to be un-admitted and dismissed for non-prosecution.
The Tribunal found that most additions made by the AO were based on conjectures, surmises, and hypothetical calculations, lacking proper appreciation of facts and legal position. The CIT(A)'s deletions were largely upheld.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to allow the full TDS credit, referencing various ITAT and High Court rulings. However, it partly allowed the department's appeal by restoring a 10% disallowance on vehicle running and maintenance expenses and a 10% disallowance on telephone expenses due to lack of substantiation.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(Exemptions) should have given the assessee a proper opportunity to be heard and produce records, especially since the representative lacked a power of attorney. The rejection solely on this ground was not justified.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) should not have insisted on wealth tax returns or bills for jewellery received during marriage, especially when the quantity was within the permissible limit as per CBDT Circular. The addition made by the Assessing Officer was directed to be deleted.
