The Tribunal held that the assessee firm failed to establish the genuineness of the cash introduced in its books, making it liable under Section 68. The Tribunal also found that the interest paid to partners violated Section 40(b) and was not substantiated.
The Tribunal held that interest on delayed TDS payments is not an allowable deduction as it partakes the character of tax itself, which is not deductible. The Apex Court's observations on similar statutory liabilities were also cited.
The Tribunal held that the assessment was not sustainable in law because there was no indication that a Section 143(2) notice was issued by the Assessing Officer before framing the assessment. The impugned assessment was quashed on this ground alone.
The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had not justified the 8% profit estimation. Considering the assessee's profit rate of 3.90% in the preceding year, the profit estimation was restricted to 4%.
The Tribunal found that the assessee had not sufficiently proved its receipts and expenditures. Therefore, the case was restored to the AO with a direction for the assessee to provide necessary evidence, failing which income would be assessed as per High Court decisions.
The Tribunal noted that legislative amendments and CBDT clarifications regarding the timing of these payments apply prospectively from 01-04-2021. The matter was remanded to the Assessing Officer to verify if payments were made before the due date of filing the return.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal. While not providing an opportunity to be heard is not a ground to quash the order, the Tribunal set aside the Pr.CIT's order to ensure principles of natural justice were met.
The Tribunal held that the deficit arising from the club's activities based on mutuality is not a 'loss' for income tax purposes and therefore cannot be set off against taxable income from other heads.
The Tribunal held that the assessee cannot take two different stands regarding the nature of expenditure. Since the Annual Report, certified by the Chartered Accountant and signed by Directors, treated the expenditure as capital in nature, the assessee is estopped from claiming it as revenue.
The Tribunal held that interest earned on idle funds, even if meant for capital expenditure, is taxable as income from other sources. However, it clarified that any interest expenditure incurred on funds kept aside for capital expenditure can be deducted from this interest income.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s finding that the disallowance of expenditure related to the Dummugudam project was already covered by a separate disallowance, thus preventing double addition. However, the Tribunal ruled that the assessee's claim for Section 80IA(4) deduction was not admissible as its business constituted a 'works contract' as per the Explanation to Section 80IA.

The Tribunal held that Section 45(2) of the Income Tax Act implies that capital gains on conversion of a capital asset to stock-in-trade are taxable in the year the stock-in-trade is sold. Even if only a part of the stock-in-trade is sold, capital gains are partially chargeable to tax in that year.
The Tribunal held that the PCIT erred in exercising revision jurisdiction under Section 263. The disallowances were not exigible as the Assessing Officer had already estimated the gross receipts on an estimation basis.

While acknowledging the Revenue's argument that sufficient opportunities were provided, the Tribunal, in the interest of justice, decided to remit the matter back to the AO to provide one more opportunity to the assessee to present its case with documentary evidence.

The Tribunal held that if employees' contributions to PF and ESI are paid before the due date of filing the return of income under Section 139(1), no disallowance is warranted. Following a coordinate bench's decision, the addition made by the revenue authorities was deleted.

The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal due to reasonable cause. While acknowledging the Pr. CIT's ex-parte order, the Tribunal remitted the matter back to the Pr. CIT to provide the assessee with another opportunity to be heard. The assessee was cautioned to cooperate in future proceedings.
The Tribunal, considering the quantum of additions and the assessee's inability to present its case effectively, decided to provide one more opportunity. The appeals were remitted back to the Assessing Officer for de novo consideration.
The Tribunal condoned the delay due to the assessee's ill health. It found that the CIT(A) should have decided the appeal on merits rather than dismissing it ex-parte.
The Tribunal held that the AO rightly invoked Section 43(1), Explanation 3, as the assessee failed to establish the correct actual cost of the assets. The disallowance of excess depreciation was therefore upheld.

The Tribunal restored the issues of depreciation on goodwill, Section 40(a)(ia) disallowance, and short grant of interest to the Assessing Officer for verification. The Tribunal allowed the deduction of education cess as an allowable expenditure.
The tribunal held that the disallowance of ESI/PF contributions was not sustainable. This was based on the fact that the contributions were paid before the due date of filing the return under Section 139(1) and after the due dates prescribed by the respective statutes, and considering the prospective applicability of recent legislative amendments.
The Tribunal held that the Supreme Court precedent cited by the Revenue applies only to the assessing authority's powers and does not restrict appellate authorities from entertaining new claims. The Tribunal also noted that the lower authorities failed to consider contractual obligations and tribunal directions.
The Tribunal held that interest income on non-performing assets (NPAs) should be assessed on a cash basis, not mercantile basis, even if the assessee follows the mercantile system of accounting. The appeal was allowed based on previous judgments supporting this view.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the AO for re-examination of the assessee's claims for Section 54F deduction and cost of improvement. The assessee was directed to appear before the AO with all relevant evidence.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, finding no infirmity. The CIT(A) had examined the facts in detail and granted partial relief by deleting the addition related to mobilization advances.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision that the assessment order was invalid because the AO failed to issue a mandatory notice under Section 142(1) or a show-cause letter before completing the best judgment assessment under Section 144. This failure deprived the assessee of an opportunity to be heard.
The Tribunal held that making the same addition under two different sections leads to double taxation. Since the revenue did not appeal the CIT(A)'s deletion under Section 56(2)(viib), the entire amount received by the assessee was acceptable.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeals, acknowledging the circumstances beyond the assessee's control. Subsequently, the Tribunal permitted the assessee to withdraw the appeals.
