The Tribunal found that the AO did not conduct independent enquiries as directed by the CIT under Section 263. Therefore, the assessment order was not in terms of the CIT's directions, and the matter was remanded for de novo assessment.
The Tribunal held that the excise duty refund and interest subsidy received by the assessee were capital in nature, similar to incentives for industrial development and employment generation. Therefore, they are not chargeable to tax.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's primary purpose of advancing objects of general public utility remains charitable, even if incidental or ancillary activities are profitable. This principle was consistently applied in the assessee's own cases for previous assessment years.
The Tribunal held that Section 14A of the Income Tax Act can only be invoked when there is exempt income. Since the assessee did not earn any exempt income, no disallowance under Section 14A was warranted.
The Tribunal held that interest on restructured loans is deductible under Section 24(b) and that converting a capital asset into stock-in-trade is permissible under Section 45(2) of the Income Tax Act.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) was justified in quashing the rectification order. The deduction under Section 10B is to be allowed before setting off brought forward unabsorbed depreciation, and the issue was debatable, making it unsuitable for rectification under Section 154.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's gross total income consisted solely of income from house property after setting off business losses and unabsorbed depreciation. Therefore, the assessee falls within the exceptions to Section 73.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, noting that the AO himself recorded the payment made by the assessee. The CIT(A) had relied on Supreme Court and Tribunal decisions regarding deductions for payments to gratuity funds.
The Tribunal held that the penalty levied was invalid due to a defective show cause notice and, importantly, because the underlying revision order under Section 263 had been quashed by the Tribunal. Therefore, the penalty could not sustain.
The Tribunal held that sales tax remission under the West Bengal Incentive Scheme is a capital receipt, following previous decisions. Regarding Section 14A, the Tribunal found merit in the assessee's argument that only investments yielding exempt income should be considered for disallowance.
The Tribunal held that the second proviso to Section 40(a)(ia) is curative and retrospective, and that the assessee should not be deemed in default if the payee has offered the income to tax. The matter was remanded to the AO for verification.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to exemption under Section 54 as the conditions were satisfied, including timely purchase of a new residential unit. Merely availing a housing loan does not disqualify the claim if the primary conditions of Section 54 are met.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, following its own precedent for the preceding assessment year regarding the deduction under Section 80IE. For depreciation, the Tribunal noted that the AO failed to give effect to the CIT(A)'s order for the preceding year, and thus the direction to re-compute depreciation was valid.
The Tribunal held that while the CIT(A) was justified in rejecting the books of accounts and estimating profits, the estimated net profit rate of 10% was excessive. Considering the previous year's profit rate and potential growth, the Tribunal reduced the estimated net profit to 7.5% of turnover.
The Tribunal held that the AO's estimation of 12% net profit was without basis and factually incorrect, especially since the selling prices to associate concerns were found to be consistent. The Tribunal directed the deletion of the addition made by the AO.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition on stamp duty and registration charges, following previous judgments that such expenses are revenue in nature. Similarly, depreciation at 60% on scanners and routers was allowed, as they were considered integral parts of the computer system.
The Tribunal held that since the assessment was framed under Section 143(3), it indicated substantial compliance, and the default was not willful. Therefore, the penalty was not warranted.
The Tribunal held that the show cause notice issued under Section 274 of the Act was defective as it did not specify the grounds for penalty. Following established jurisprudence, the penalty was deemed invalid.
The Tribunal held that the penalty cannot be sustained because the show cause notice issued under Section 274 of the Act did not specify the charge against the assessee, i.e., whether it was for concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of assessment was invalid as it was based on a change of opinion without any new material. Therefore, the assessment completed under section 147/143(3) was liable to be cancelled.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of the assessment was invalid as it was based on the same material available during the original assessment, constituting a change of opinion. Therefore, the assessment completed under section 147/143(3) was liable to be cancelled.
The Tribunal restored the issue of depreciation on moulds to the AO for fresh adjudication, allowing the assessee to produce fresh evidence. The Tribunal also directed the AO to verify and grant eligible TDS credit to the assessee.
The tribunal dismissed the appeal of the assessee in limine for want of prosecution, citing previous decisions on similar grounds.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of the assessment was invalid as it was based on the same material available during the original assessment, constituting a change of opinion. Therefore, the reassessment proceedings were bad in law.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not refer to the paper books submitted by the assessee and that the principle of natural justice was violated. Therefore, the matter was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the disallowance of cash payments under Section 40A(3) was not justified as the genuineness of the transactions was not doubted, and the payee insisted on cash payment. The Tribunal also noted that the AO had not rejected the books of account and the assessee had provided confirmations for purchases.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) did not refer to the paper books submitted by the assessee and that the principle of natural justice was violated. Therefore, the matter was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.

The Tribunal held that the PCIT's order under Section 263 was not sustainable. The AO had conducted necessary verification, and the PCIT failed to establish that the AO's order was erroneous and prejudicial to revenue.
The Tribunal found sufficient cause for the assessee's non-appearance before the CIT(Appeals). The ex-parte order of the CIT(Appeals) was set aside, and the matter was remanded for a fresh disposal.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's contention that the CIT(A) dismissed the appeal ex-parte without providing a reasonable opportunity of hearing. Therefore, the impugned order of the CIT(A) was set aside.
The Tribunal held that Section 2(22)(e) is not attracted because SVPL is a registered NBFC, it charged interest on the loan, and the transaction was in the nature of a commercial transaction. The Tribunal also noted that the Principal Commissioner failed to follow binding judicial pronouncements and CBDT circulars.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal in limine for want of prosecution, citing the assessee's lack of interest and non-compliance with notices. The decision was based on precedents from ITAT Delhi and Madhya Pradesh High Court.
