The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's ground regarding the admission of additional evidence by the CIT(A). It also dismissed the Revenue's ground concerning the disallowance of employee's PF contribution, as it was covered by a Supreme Court decision against the assessee. The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's ground regarding the disallowance under Section 80IB, upholding the CIT(A)'s decision.
The Tribunal held that the cash receipts, though recorded as advances, were effectively sales proceeds not intended to be accounted for. Bogus purchases added to work-in-progress should be reduced in the year they were recorded.
The Tribunal held that the assessment order, though mentioning the amalgamated entity, was not invalid as the name of the amalgamated company was also clearly stated. The Tribunal also upheld the deletion of disallowances for royalty income and miscellaneous income related to research activities, finding them eligible for deduction under Section 80IB(8A).
The ITAT held that the CIT(A) lacked jurisdiction to decide the appeal as it was filed with the wrong appellate authority. Therefore, the order was set aside.

The Tribunal held that trade advances made in the normal course of business, even between closely held companies with common shareholding, do not fall under the ambit of Section 2(22)(e) of the Income Tax Act. The ledger account showing various transactions supported the nature of trade advances.
The Tribunal upheld the deletion of the addition by the CIT(A). The CIT(A) accepted the assessee's valuation report, which determined the fair market value as per IT Rules to be negative, thus negating any addition.
The tribunal noted that the assessee's counsel could not prosecute the appeal and that the assessee company was under liquidation. Given the circumstances and the inability to proceed, the appeal was dismissed.

The Tribunal deleted the disallowance, respectfully following its own earlier decision in the assessee's own case for preceding assessment years. The factual position for the current assessment year was identical.
The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal in limine because the assessee had opted for the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme. The Revenue retains the liberty to seek restoration if necessary.
The Tribunal found that the lower authorities were not justified in making the addition without proper verification of the facts, especially since the assessee had filed a return of income. The addition was directed to be deleted.
The Tribunal held that the lower authorities erred in rejecting the valuation report solely based on differences between projections and actuals. The AO/CIT(A) did not identify any specific defects in the valuation method or report.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee company is under liquidation and its representatives are unable to prosecute the appeal. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed due to the inability to proceed.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance under Section 40A(3) was not justified given the peculiar business circumstances, government control over liquor trade, and the fact that transactions were identifiable and subject to TCS. However, an addition on account of capital introduced was upheld due to lack of evidence.
The Tribunal held that ad-hoc disallowances without specific findings are not permissible and that the CIT(A) rightly deleted the disallowance of commission. The Tribunal also found no error in the CIT(A)'s deletion of additions related to sales reconciliation and the Reebok India Ltd credit, as the assessee provided valid explanations.
The CIT(A) allowed the expenses after admitting additional evidence and obtaining a remand report from the AO, finding the claim to be substantiated. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting similar expenses were allowed in a prior assessment year based on comparable evidence.

The Tribunal held that the disallowance under Section 40A(3) was not justified given the peculiar business circumstances, government control over liquor trade, and the fact that transactions were identifiable and subject to TCS. However, an addition on account of capital introduced was upheld due to lack of evidence.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(E)'s order could not be sustained as it failed to discuss the evidence on record and explain what further information was required. The matter was restored to the CIT(E) for a fresh decision.
The Tribunal held that disallowances under Section 14A require specific satisfaction from the Assessing Officer and cannot be automatically applied under Rule 8D without considering actual expenditure. It also ruled that Section 14A disallowances are notional and cannot be added back to book profits under Section 115JB.
The Tribunal held that the transfer of title in immovable property is complete only upon registration of the sale deed. Since the sale deed was registered in AY 2011-12, the profit is taxable in that year, not AY 2010-11.
The Tribunal held that the lower authorities erred in concluding the business had not commenced solely based on the absence of plant and machinery. The nature of the business, which involved procurement and trading, did not necessitate immediate installation of such assets. Evidence of purchase orders and vendor confirmations indicated business initiation.
The Tribunal held that disallowances under Section 14A require specific satisfaction from the Assessing Officer and cannot be automatically applied under Rule 8D without considering actual expenditure. It also ruled that Section 14A disallowances are notional and cannot be added back to book profits under Section 115JB.
The Tribunal held that the reasons recorded for reopening were without application of mind and constituted borrowed satisfaction, making the reassessment unsustainable. The AO failed to provide a specific show cause notice to the assessee regarding transactions with M/s Danodia Impex Pvt. Ltd. and did not reject the assessee's books of accounts before making the addition.
The Tribunal held that the addition for REVO Content Services (P) Ltd. was not sustainable as the assessee denied the transaction on affidavit without any discrediting evidence. For Huawei Telecommunication (India) Company (P) Ltd., the addition was restricted to the difference between the amount offered and the amount claimed by the assessee. Regarding interest disallowance, the Tribunal found that the assessee had sufficient interest-free funds to cover the advances, thus no disallowance was required.
The Tribunal held that for the prior period expenses, the Supreme Court order dated 13.08.2010 determined the sums payable to workers and local authorities for the first time based on an evaluation committee's report. Therefore, even if these expenses related to previous years, they accrued in compliance with the Court's orders in the year of the order. The CIT(A)'s finding on this was upheld. Regarding the waiver of the government loan, the Tribunal observed that the CIT(A) had relied on the Bombay High Court judgment in Mahindra and Mahindra vs. CIT, later confirmed by the Supreme Court, which held that waiver of loan for trading purposes is taxable, while for acquiring capital assets is not. Since the basic facts needed investigation, the AO was directed to examine the nature of the loan. However, the Tribunal ultimately found no substance in the grounds raised by the Revenue concerning both issues. The appeal of the Revenue was dismissed.
The Tribunal held that the AO's disallowance of export sales, fabrication expenses, and unexplained credits were not justified. However, the genuineness of certain purchases required further examination by the AO.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer erred in treating lease rent and packaging charges as income from other sources, following its own previous orders in the assessee's own case for earlier assessment years. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) had correctly deleted the additions based on these precedents.

The Tribunal noted that as per Section 4(2) of the Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, an appeal pending before the Tribunal is deemed withdrawn upon the issuance of a certificate under Section 5(1) of the Act. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to annul the assessment order. It found that the AO failed to provide any material evidence to support the alleged transaction or the basis for reopening.
The Tribunal held that filing of Form 67 is a procedural and directory requirement, not mandatory. Therefore, the delay in filing Form 67 does not extinguish the assessee's substantive right to claim FTC. The Tribunal directed the AO to allow the FTC.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's contention regarding the lack of opportunity. The assessment order was set aside as it was passed prematurely, before the statutory date for response. The matter was remitted back to the Assessing Officer for a fresh assessment.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication. The Assessing Officer was directed to consider the issues afresh, giving proper opportunity to the assessee and in accordance with law.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable due to the low tax effect as per CBDT Circular No. 17/2019. The appeal was dismissed with liberty to the revenue to approach the Tribunal if the tax effect exceeded the prescribed limit.
The Tribunal held that the deduction under Section 80IC should be allowed even if Form 10CCB was filed belatedly, as long as it was filed before the final assessment order, following a coordinate bench decision.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance for delayed deposit of employees' contribution to PF/ESI is justified. The deduction under Section 36(1)(va) is allowed only if the amount is deposited before the due date stipulated in the respective Acts, as confirmed by Supreme Court and other Tribunal decisions.
