The Tribunal held that the assessee never exploited the technology at any of its units, based on excise details and machinery lists. Consequently, royalty payments net of license fees received should be apportioned among all manufacturing units on a pro-rata basis, not exclusively to the Jammu unit.
The Tribunal held that the penalty was invalid because the Assessing Officer failed to specify the exact limb under which the penalty was being levied in the show cause notice and penalty order. Furthermore, the Revenue failed to establish concealment or furnishing of inaccurate particulars, as no incriminating material was found during the search and no variation was made to the declared income in the assessment.

The Tribunal held that the assessee's claim for exemption under Section 10(38) was not admissible. The Tribunal found that the transactions involving M/s Thyrocare Lab Limited (formerly M/s Eins Edutech Limited) were sham and were used to introduce unaccounted money in the garb of long-term capital gains. The investigation reports, coupled with the admissions of share brokers, indicated that the share prices were manipulated to provide fictitious profits. The Tribunal noted that the assessee failed to substantiate the genuineness of the transactions before the revenue authorities. The Tribunal affirmed the findings of the AO and CIT(A) that the transactions were accommodation entries. The addition made by the AO was confirmed under Section 69A read with Section 115BBE of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Tribunal relied on various High Court and Supreme Court judgments, including those from the Bombay, Calcutta, and Delhi High Courts, and the Apex Court, to support its decision. The appeal of the assessee was dismissed.
The Tribunal held that while adjustment against advance tax is prohibited, there is no prohibition to adjust seized cash against self-assessment tax. Therefore, the assessee is entitled to adjust the seized cash of Rs. 1.76 crores against his self-assessment tax payable.
