The Tribunal held that the penalty under Section 271AAB is not mandatory but discretionary and must be based on merits. It further held that the amount offered by the assessee did not constitute 'undisclosed income' as per the explanation to Section 271AAB, as no incriminating evidence was found during the search.

The Tribunal held that claims for additional expenses and brokerage were not substantiated with evidence and were therefore dismissed.

The Tribunal held that the appeal of the Revenue was against the deletion of the addition of Rs. 2.92 crores made under Section 68. The Tribunal noted that the assessee had provided substantial documentation to prove the identity, creditworthiness, and genuineness of the share applicants, including IT returns, certificates of incorporation, MOA/AOA, audited accounts, share application forms, allotment letters, and bank statements. The Tribunal found that the AO had made the addition based on inferences and a lack of meaningful inquiry, despite the assessee discharging its initial onus. Citing precedents like Lovely Exports (P) Ltd. and Finlease Pvt Ltd., the Tribunal held that once the assessee furnished sufficient material, the onus shifted to the AO to disprove it. As the AO failed to conduct further investigation or gather evidence to counter the material provided, the addition under Section 68 could not be sustained. Consequently, the order of the CIT(A) deleting the addition was upheld. The cross-objection of the assessee was dismissed as supportive and not requiring separate adjudication.
The Tribunal held that Section 80IE does not mandate that substantial expansion must be completed within a single financial year. The additions to plant and machinery exceeding 25% should be calculated with reference to the cost at the commencement of the expansion program.
The ITAT restored the issue to the file of the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication on merits after providing the assessee an adequate opportunity of being heard. A cost of Rs. 5,000 was levied on the assessee.
