The tribunal remanded the issue of proportionate interest disallowance to the AO for fresh adjudication, considering the availability of interest-free funds. The disallowance for delayed payment of employee contributions was upheld against the assessee, following the Supreme Court judgment.
The ITAT found that the CIT(A) failed to comply with the mandate of Section 250(6) by not providing a reasoned order. The matter was therefore remanded back to the CIT(A) for proper adjudication.

The Tribunal held that the appeal was not a valid appeal due to the lack of signature and verification by the assessee. Therefore, it was liable to be dismissed in limine.
The Tribunal held that the notice under Section 143(2) was issued beyond the prescribed time limit, rendering the assessment proceedings invalid and void ab initio. Consequently, the assessment order was quashed.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had duly complied with the notice by explaining the dissolution of the partnership firm and the discontinuation of its PAN. Therefore, the penalty levied for non-compliance was not sustainable.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) did not decide the appeal on merits but dismissed it summarily without a speaking order. Therefore, the impugned order was set aside and the matter was remanded for fresh adjudication on merits.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(Exemption) had not fully considered the overall objects and activities of the trust. The Tribunal held that the matter required reconsideration after proper verification of facts and activities, especially since it was the first year of operation.
The Tribunal held that the actual dates of payment, as evidenced by challans, were within the due dates prescribed by the PF Act. Therefore, the disallowance made by the AO based on incorrect dates was not sustainable.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal, citing reasonable cause and reliance on Supreme Court precedent. The CIT(A)'s order was set aside due to non-compliance with Section 250(6).
The ITAT held that the CIT(A) order was not in accordance with Section 250(6) of the Act as it did not decide the grounds on merits. Therefore, the matter was remanded for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not comply with the mandate of Section 250(6) of the Income-tax Act. Therefore, the CIT(A)'s order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for proper adjudication.

The Tribunal upheld the addition of Rs. 9,00,000/- for unexplained cash deposits in HDFC Bank but deleted the addition of Rs. 4,00,000/- for Axis Bank, finding its source explained. The disallowance of depreciation was also upheld due to lack of evidence of business use.
The Tribunal held that the issue of applicability of Section 194H to discounts given to prepaid distributors was highly debatable, with divergent views from various High Courts and ITAT benches. Therefore, the assessee had a reasonable cause for not deducting TDS.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) dismissed the appeal for non-prosecution without deciding the grounds on merits. Therefore, the order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for fresh adjudication after granting the assessee another opportunity to present its case.
The Tribunal held that the PCIT wrongly invoked revisionary jurisdiction for the 'loss by theft' issue as it was outside the scope of limited scrutiny. However, the PCIT was justified in revising the order concerning personal expenses, as the assessee had admitted to a disallowance which the AO failed to make.
The Tribunal found that the Assessing Officer (AO) had not properly followed the directions of the first appellate authority on multiple issues. Consequently, the Tribunal remanded all three disputed issues back to the AO for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal found that substantial payments were made via cheque much before the registration dates, indicating payments were not made on registration dates. While most cash withdrawals were corroborated by bank passbooks, one entry of Rs. 1,00,000/- required further verification.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal, finding reasonable cause due to the assessee's rural background and potential non-receipt of the order. On merits, the Tribunal deleted the addition made by the AO, finding the bank deposits represented sale proceeds of cattle feed with corresponding payments made through banking channels.
The Tribunal found that the AO's initial assessment order had an error in computation, where surrendered income was subtracted instead of added. The AO corrected this error in the 'giving effect' order, leading to the assessed income of Rs. 3,73,47,796, which was deemed correct. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order.
The Tribunal deleted the penalty. It was found that the returned income was filed within the due date, and the addition confirmed by the CIT(A) was subsequently deleted by the ITAT in a separate appeal.
The Tribunal held that the seized document clearly indicated a date of 05.11.2013, which falls within the previous year relevant to AY 2014-15, not AY 2013-14. Therefore, the addition made for AY 2013-14 was unsustainable.
The Tribunal held that since the assessed income has reverted to 'Nil', there is no surviving addition to justify the penalty. Therefore, the penalty imposed under Section 271(1)(c) deserves to be deleted.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of delayed payments towards Employees' Provident Fund and Employees' State Insurance is justified. This decision is based on the Supreme Court's judgment in the case of Checkmate Services (P.) Ltd. v. CIT.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) order was not in accordance with the law as it did not decide the appeal on merits. Therefore, the matter was remanded to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, agreeing that the disallowance should be restricted to 30% as per the amended provisions of Section 40(a)(ia). The Tribunal found no error in the CIT(A)'s decision.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) deleted the addition without proper verification of the bank statements and the trail of money. The Tribunal also noted that the AO made a double addition in one of the assessment years.

The Tribunal held that the addition made by the AO was partly justified. While the identity and creditworthiness of some creditors were established, the source of funds for others raised doubts, particularly when cash was deposited in creditors' accounts just before issuing cheques to the assessee. However, a specific loan of Rs. 4,92,000/- taken by a creditor as a mortgage loan and then advanced to the assessee was directed to be deleted from the addition.
The Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s order regarding Section 14A disallowance and remanded the matter to the AO for proper verification. Regarding the Section 68 addition, the Tribunal did not provide a final decision in the provided excerpt, but the grounds suggest it was a key point of contention.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) deleted the addition on sundry creditors on technical grounds without proper examination of evidence. For unexplained cash deposits, the CIT(A) deleted the addition solely based on the audit of books, which was deemed insufficient. The issue of interest-free advance to relatives was remanded.

For unexplained cash deposits, the CIT(A) deleted the addition solely based on the audit of books, which was deemed insufficient. The issue of interest-free advance to relatives was remanded.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, finding that the AO's order lacked financial analysis and that the CIT(A) had correctly considered the assessee's overall financial position, which showed sufficient interest-free funds. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance made by the AO and confirmed by the CIT(A) was correct. The Supreme Court's decision in Checkmate Services (P.) Ltd. v. CIT was followed, which mandates timely deposit of employee's contribution for deductibility.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's explanation for cash payments was not entirely credible. Specifically, for a cash payment of Rs. 1,14,55,500/-, the assessee claimed it was to obtain consent from joint owners/family members. However, the registered sale deed contained a recital stating these individuals signed as consenting parties without charging any money. This created a clear contradiction, undermining the assessee's claim of commercial expediency for this portion of the cash payment. Consequently, the Tribunal upheld the disallowance to the extent of Rs. 1,14,55,500/-. For the remaining disallowance, the Tribunal upheld the deletion made by the CIT(A). Therefore, the Revenue succeeded partly in its appeal. The assessee's cross-objection, being supportive of the CIT(A)'s order and not requiring separate adjudication, was dismissed. The Tribunal distinguished the case from ITO Vs. M/s Simran Developers, ITA No. 796/Ind/2018, noting that in the present case, the assessee maintained a consistent stand before the AO and CIT(A), unlike the change in stand in the cited case.
The ITAT found that the CIT(A) had dismissed the assessee's appeal due to non-prosecution without complying with the mandate of Section 250(6) of the Income-tax Act. Therefore, the matter was remanded back to the CIT(A) for a fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the AO erred by not providing the assessee with documents relied upon for the additions, despite a specific request. The Tribunal also noted procedural lapses regarding information from section 133(6) notices.
The Tribunal noted that the new AO likely did not consider the evidence filed during the original assessment. Given the consent of both parties and the circumstances, the Tribunal decided to remand the case back to the AO for a fresh assessment.
The Tribunal held that the addition of Rs. 2,40,000 was not justified as it represented household savings. However, the higher tax rate under Section 115BBE was correctly applied. The levy of interest under Section 234B was partly deleted, allowing adjustment against self-assessment tax.
