The Tribunal held that the appeal was filed within the extended limitation period as per the Supreme Court's directions on COVID-19 extensions. Therefore, the NFAC's dismissal of the appeal as time-barred was unsustainable.

The Tribunal held that the assessees cannot be held liable for failure to deduct tax at source. The reasoning was that the amounts paid were in satisfaction of a judgment debt arising from the Supreme Court's decree. Citing judicial precedents, the Tribunal stated that a judgment debt loses its original character, and no TDS is deductible from it in the absence of specific provisions. The Supreme Court's order mandated full payment to SEBI for refund to investors and did not direct any TDS deduction. SEBI was to act as an intermediary. Furthermore, the Tribunal noted that at the time of deposit, investors were not properly identifiable, which also negated the liability to deduct tax at source. Therefore, the assessees were not 'assessee in default'. The Tribunal allowed the grounds raised by the assessees.
