The Revenue sought to withdraw its appeal. The Tribunal permitted the withdrawal of the appeal.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings and the consequent assessment order were invalid, following previous decisions of coordinate benches. The Tribunal also found that the addition on account of purchases was not sustainable on merits.

The Tribunal allowed the assessee's request to withdraw the appeal. It was noted that if the assessee fails to avail the VSV Scheme for bonafide reasons, they can seek restoration of the appeal.

The Tribunal found that the CIT(A)'s deletion of the addition was not legally sustainable as the assessee had not provided sufficient details to the AO. The matter was remitted back to the AO for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by both the assessee and the Revenue. This dismissal was granted with liberty to restore the appeals if the dispute settlement under the scheme was not finalized.
The Tribunal considered the assessee's request to withdraw the appeal due to availing the Vivad Se Vishwas scheme. The Department did not object to this request.

The Tribunal held that in the absence of specific shares defined in the sale deed for co-owners, it must be presumed they purchased equal shares. Therefore, taxing 50% of the house property income in the assessee's hands was justified.
The Tribunal found that the principles of natural justice were not strictly followed and the assessee was not given a proper opportunity to be heard. Therefore, the matter was remanded back to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal restored the issue back to the file of the Assessing Officer (AO) for fresh adjudication. The Tribunal acknowledged that the AO's order was an ex-parte order passed under Section 144. It emphasized the established principle of natural justice that a litigant should be heard before a decision is taken and that the AO must confront the assessee with any material obtained from third parties or own sources. The Tribunal noted that identical issues arising from similar facts in the cases of other family members of the assessee were restored to the AO by a Coordinate Bench of the Tribunal. Since the Revenue's DR did not point out any distinguishing features in the assessee's case compared to those of his family members, the Tribunal followed the decisions of the coordinate benches. The assessee was directed to promptly furnish all required details to the AO, and the AO was directed to grant an adequate opportunity of hearing. The Tribunal allowed this ground of the assessee. Consequently, other grounds raised by the assessee were not adjudicated at that moment, as the issue was restored to the AO. The appeal was allowed for statistical purposes.
The Tribunal upheld the penalty, agreeing with the lower authorities that the assessee's turnover exceeded the threshold for a tax audit. The assessee's belief regarding turnover calculation for F&O transactions was found to be incorrect.
The Tribunal held that the penalty notices issued by the Assessing Officer under Section 274 read with Section 271(1)(c) were vague as they did not specify which limb of Section 271(1)(c) (concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars) was invoked. Relying on various High Court and Supreme Court judgments, the Tribunal found the notices to be bad in law.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee had availed the Vivad Se Vishwas scheme and the department had issued Form No. 5. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed as withdrawn.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by both the assessee and the Revenue. This dismissal was granted with liberty to restore the appeals if the dispute settlement under the scheme was not finalized.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, agreeing that no interest disallowance was warranted under Rule 8D(2)(i) given the availability of substantial interest-free funds. The Tribunal also found no infirmity in the CIT(A)'s acceptance of the revised disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii).
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable due to low tax effect, as per CBDT Circular No. 17/2019. The appeal was dismissed as infructuous.
The Tribunal found that there was a lack of proper opportunity for the assessee to be heard. Therefore, the matter was remitted back to the CIT(A) for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal found that no action under Section 201(1) was warranted. The matter was remanded back to the AO solely for re-computation of interest under Section 201(1A).
The Tribunal held that the addition on account of alleged cessation of creditors was justified as the liabilities were old, static, and no business transactions occurred for years, indicating remission. However, the addition for advances from customers was deleted as they were continuing from earlier years and no fresh advances were received. The addition for the outstanding credit balance was also deleted as payments were made during the year.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee argued certain payments were below the threshold limit for TDS deduction under Section 194C. Since the lower authorities had not examined this specific plea, the issue was restored to the AO for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that while the assessee's non-appearance before the CIT(A) warranted dismissal, the CIT(A) had not decided the appeal on merits. Therefore, the case was remanded back to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision on merits, with a direction for the assessee to cooperate.
The Tribunal upheld the orders of the lower authorities, stating that the assessee failed to produce evidence for the cash deposits despite multiple opportunities. The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order.
The Tribunal held that a reassessment order cannot be passed without complying with the mandatory requirement of issuing a notice under Section 143(2) of the Act. Therefore, the reassessment proceedings and the consequent order were legally unsustainable.
The tribunal noted that the assessee had arrived at a settlement under The Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020. As per the provisions of this Act, the pending appeal is deemed to have been withdrawn upon issuance of a certificate by the designated authority.
The Tribunal held that the appeal filed by the Revenue was not maintainable due to the low tax effect, as per CBDT circulars. The Revenue's counsel did not dispute this position.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) failed to decide the appeal on merits and did not follow the mandate of Section 250(6) of the Act. It also noted that the assessee claimed not to have received hearing notices from the AO.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) was correct in quashing the assessment order passed under Section 153C. The seized documents were not considered incriminating material belonging to or pertaining to the assessee, and the satisfaction note for initiating proceedings was flawed.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal as withdrawn, subject to the assessee's liberty to restore it if the dispute is not settled under the scheme. The Revenue had no objection to this condition.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in dismissing the appeal ex-parte for non-prosecution when an AR was present and also sustaining additions on merits. The order of the CIT(A) was set aside.
The Tribunal held that since the facts were identical to a previous assessment year where the Revenue's appeal was dismissed by the Tribunal, and no distinguishing facts or higher judicial pronouncements were presented, the Revenue's appeal should be dismissed. Consequently, the assessee's cross-objection became academic.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to claim exemption under Section 10(10D)(c) as the maturity amount received was only Rs. 34,90,000, which included a net gain of Rs. 10,00,960 termed as 'guaranteed addition' or 'loyalty addition'. The sum assured was less than the premium paid.
The Tribunal admitted the additional ground, holding that the penalty notice was bad in law as it did not specify whether the penalty was for concealment or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. Consequently, the penalty was cancelled.
The Tribunal held that AMP expenses incurred by the assessee do not constitute an international transaction under the Indian TP provisions. Consequently, adjustments made on this basis were deleted, following consistent precedents in the assessee's own cases.
The Tribunal upheld the addition of Rs. 56 lakh as unexplained cash credit. It found that the assessee failed to discharge the onus under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act to prove the identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of the transactions.
