The Tribunal dismissed the assessee's appeal, holding that the principle of mutuality is not applicable to commercial organizations like the assessee company, which is formed to earn profits. The foreman's role in chit funds is also distinct from other participants, negating the identity required for mutuality.
The Tribunal held that notional interest on outstanding receivables is not chargeable and no transfer pricing adjustment can be made. It further noted that working capital adjustments, when considered, already factor in interest on receivables.

The Tribunal held that the capital gains should be treated as capital gains and not business income, based on the assessee's consistent treatment and supporting case law. For Section 14A, the disallowance was restricted to the amount of exempt income earned.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of assessment was not valid as the AO lacked 'reasons to believe' and the notice was issued beyond the statutory time limit. Furthermore, the apportionment of R&D expenditure and ESOP costs to exempted units was not justified.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, agreeing that the R&D expenses, which provided enduring benefit over five years, were allowable as deferred revenue expenditure, especially considering the principle of consistency. The revenue's appeal was dismissed.

The Tribunal held that the AO erred in treating profit on sale of tonnage assets as income from other sources. It also directed the AO to recalculate disallowance under Section 14A as per Rule 8D, considering only investments that generated exempt income.

The Tribunal held that the business was 'set up' as per Section 3 of the Income Tax Act, which is sufficient for claiming expenditure, even if commercial operations had not fully commenced. Therefore, the claimed losses were allowable.
The Tribunal found that the DRP incorrectly upheld the TPO's comparables after acknowledging that many were functionally dissimilar. The matter was remanded to the TPO to conduct a fresh search for comparable companies.
The Tribunal agreed with the CIT(A) that the assessee did not own two residential houses at the time of the transfer of the original asset. Therefore, the assessee is eligible for deduction under Section 54F.
The CIT(A) held that R&D expenditure relating to biologics is unit-specific due to the complex and distinct manufacturing process involved. Consequently, it should be excluded from apportionment to exempted units.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred by not adjudicating Ground No. 6, which pertained to adjustments from book profits. The matter was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh consideration of the grounds on merits.
The Tribunal held that there was merit in the assessee's contention that the entire TDS on salaries was remitted. However, the AO had not provided details of the quantification of the demand, necessitating fresh examination.
The Tribunal held that bounced cheques cannot be treated as unexplained cash credits and that Section 69C is not applicable to verifiable expenditures recorded in books. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed for lacking merit.
The CIT(A) held that R&D expenditure relating to biologics is unit-specific due to the complex and distinct manufacturing process involved. Consequently, it should be excluded from apportionment to exempted units.
The Tribunal held that the properties could belong to the HUF, as evidenced by HUF balance sheets and returns filed in HUF capacity. The mistake in TDS credit to the individual PAN was considered a bonafide error, not a deliberate concealment.
The Tribunal held that since the reassessment order itself was invalid, there was no basis for levying a penalty for evasion of income. Therefore, the penalty order was set aside.
The Tribunal held that Section 14A of the Act does not apply if no exempt income is received during the relevant assessment year. The CIT(A)'s order was upheld based on this principle.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) should not be made when the recipient has offered the income in its return and paid the tax. This decision was based on the Supreme Court's ruling in CIT vs. Calcutta Export Company.
The Tribunal followed a coordinate bench's decision in the assessee's own case for an earlier assessment year, which had allowed the deduction. The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the CIT(A)'s order.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision that R&D expenditure relating to biologics is unit-specific due to the complex and distinct manufacturing process involved. Therefore, it should not be apportioned to exempted units.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer did not properly verify the genuineness of the loans as the promissory notes alone were not sufficient proof. The assessee was given one more opportunity to furnish confirmations from the lenders.
The Tribunal held that the Additional Commissioner lacked the jurisdiction to pass the penalty order as the penalty amount per default was within the Assessing Officer's competence. Furthermore, the assessee had reasonable cause for non-compliance, and the penalty proceedings were technically flawed.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to quash the reassessment proceedings. It found that the reopening was based on an audit objection without fresh material and amounted to a change of opinion, and that even on merits, loan waivers are not taxable under Sections 41(1) or 28(iv).
The Tribunal noted that the ITAT had previously set aside the CIT's order under Section 263. Consequently, the consequential assessment order passed under Section 143(3) read with Section 263 could not be sustained. The CIT(A)'s order allowing the assessee's appeal was upheld.
