The Tribunal held that the AO's order under section 148A(d) was passed without considering the assessee's reply and relied on incorrect information, rendering it without jurisdiction. The Tribunal also found the CIT(A)'s subsequent recharacterization of the income as contradictory and made without proper notice.
The Tribunal held that the stamp duty value on the date of the agreement should be considered for Section 56(2)(vii) if the agreement and payment were made in earlier years.

The Tribunal held that the addition under Section 68 was not sustainable as the assessee's audited books of account were not rejected, and the cash sales were not doubted. The AO's reliance on a notification restricting cash sales to public sector undertakings was also found to be misapplied.

The Tribunal held that claims for exemption not made in the original return can be entertained by appellate authorities even without a revised return, following the Supreme Court's decision in Goetze (India) Ltd. vs CIT. Therefore, the claim for gratuity and leave encashment was allowed.
The Tribunal held that the rebate under section 87A is allowable on tax computed on short-term capital gains under section 111A when the assessee opts for the section 115BAC regime. This decision follows previous rulings by coordinate benches and the Chennai Bench.

The Tribunal held that the addition of the entire cash amount was a case of double taxation, as the sales were already recorded in the assessee's books and profits were computed. However, the commission income addition was sustained.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal as non-maintainable because the assessee had directly appealed to the ITAT against an order of the AO under Section 154, bypassing the mandatory appeal to the CIT(A).

The Tribunal held that the penalty under section 271(1)(c) was not sustainable. The AO's finding of furnishing inaccurate particulars was not clearly established, and the assessee's explanation, though not found to be false, was rejected without proper substantiation. The penalty order itself was inconsistent regarding the specific default.
The Tribunal held that since the CIT(A) decided the issue solely based on the High Court's order, which was set aside by the Supreme Court, and no decision on merits was given, the issue should be restored to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision.

The Tribunal held that Section 115BBE was not applicable for the assessment year 2017-18 as it came into force from April 1, 2017. Furthermore, the Tribunal accepted the assessee's contention that the amount was a cash gift received during his marriage, and thus the addition was not sustainable.
The Tribunal noted the assessee's negligence but granted one more opportunity to meet the ends of justice. The impugned orders were set aside, and the appeals were remanded to the CIT(A) for fresh decision on merits.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(E) was incorrect in holding that the trust's activities were solely for a particular community, given its broad objects and the scholarships awarded to students of different backgrounds.

The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) did not decide the appeal on merits and that the assessee was negligent in appearing. However, to provide one last opportunity, the impugned order was set aside.

Since the loan was received and repaid through banking channels within the same financial year, and the AO did not conduct independent inquiries, the addition made by the AO was unjustified.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal and imposed a cost of Rs. 10,000/- on the assessee for non-cooperation. The impugned order was set aside, and the AO was directed to grant one more opportunity to the assessee to present documents and pass an order on merits.

The addition for the gift was also deleted, considering it a reasonable amount from a father to his son, especially given the father's age and subsequent death.
The Tribunal restored the matters to the file of the CIT(E) for fresh consideration. The assessee was to be given an adequate opportunity of hearing to demonstrate the genuineness of its activities.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) failed to adjudicate a material ground of appeal concerning the assessee's registration under Section 12A/12AA. This omission was significant as the CIT(A) relied on the non-registration to deny exemption. Therefore, the impugned order was set aside.
