The Tribunal noted that the tax effect on the disputed issue was below Rs. 10 lakhs, which is the revised monetary limit for filing appeals as per CBDT Circular No. 21 of 2015. This circular also applies to pending appeals.
The Tribunal found that the assessee had made full disclosure of the actual amount received due to premature withdrawal of FDR. Claiming full TDS credit as per the bank's certificate does not amount to furnishing wrong information.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable as the tax effect was below the monetary limit prescribed by the CBDT circular. The exceptions mentioned in the circular were not applicable.
The Tribunal held that a co-operative society dealing primarily with its members is not a co-operative bank and is eligible for deduction under Section 80P. Interest income from fixed deposits should be treated as business income for allowing the deduction.
The Tribunal held that the addition made by the Assessing Officer was based on estimation and not justified, as the assessee had provided loan confirmations and other relevant details. The assessee had discharged its onus under Section 68.
The Tribunal held that continuing debit balances in the accounts of associated enterprises do not per se amount to an international transaction for ALP adjustments. It also followed its own prior decisions to delete additions made on account of not charging interest on overdue trade balances.

The Tribunal held that if an assessee has sufficient interest-free funds available, any investments or advances made to sister concerns are presumed to be out of these interest-free funds, even if interest-bearing funds were also available. Therefore, the disallowance of interest was not justified.
The Tribunal held that in view of CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, the Revenue is precluded from pursuing appeals where the tax effect is less than Rs. 10 lakhs. Therefore, the appeal was liable to be dismissed.
The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's argument that the opening stock needed to be adjusted. Since the assessee's own tax audit report indicated the adjustment required and the figures matched the previous year's computation, the addition was deleted.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s orders, finding that the assessee failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the genuineness of loan sources, failed to comply with transfer pricing regulations, did not provide evidence for timely realization of export proceeds for 80HHC deduction, and that the donation disallowance was correctly made. Consequently, all grounds of appeal were dismissed.
The Tribunal held that for companies dealing in shares and securities, stock-in-trade should be excluded when calculating disallowance under Rule 8D. It also held that share trading and derivative transactions should be netted off before applying the explanation to Section 73, as they fall under speculative transactions.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal. For the ground related to interest expenditure, the issue was set aside to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication. The ground regarding book profit was treated as consequential to the interest expenditure issue.
The Tribunal held that the issue was covered by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court's decision in the assessee's own case, and since the department's SLP against that decision was dismissed, the appeal of the Revenue should be dismissed.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal based on CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which revised the monetary limits for filing departmental appeals. The tax effect in this case was below the prescribed limit.
The Tribunal held that Section 14A is applicable only when there is an actual receipt of exempt income. Since the assessee received no dividend income, the disallowance made by the authorities below was deleted.
The Tribunal held that the issue was covered by a coordinate bench decision which followed the Gujarat High Court's ruling in General Motors India Pvt Ltd. This ruling stated that unabsorbed depreciation available from AY 2002-03 onwards is governed by the amended Section 32(2) without any time limit for set-off.
The CIT(A) upheld the addition without considering the assessee's explanation for non-compliance due to non-receipt of notices. The tribunal found this unjustified and noted that the CIT(A) did not decide the appeal on merits.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not pressed as it contravened the CBDT circular regarding monetary limits for appeals. The appeal was dismissed on this technical ground.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had provided sufficient proof of renovation expenses and payments. The lower authorities had rejected the claim on hypothetical grounds without proper verification.
The Tribunal held that the AO's basis for disallowance was incorrect. The assessee was in the financing business, had a net positive interest income, and the investments were old, strategic, and not made from borrowed funds for earning dividend income.
The Tribunal held that the actual date of transfer, which is when possession is handed over and the transaction is completed, is the determining factor for taxability. Since possession was given in March 2008, the capital gains are taxable in AY 2008-09.

The Tribunal held that the reopening of assessment was bad in law as there was no fresh tangible material available to the Assessing Officer to form the belief that income had escaped assessment. The reopening was based on the same set of facts already on record.
The Tribunal upheld the Director's decision to reject the registration application. It found that the assessee failed to rebut the findings regarding the mixed nature of its objects and the absence of a binding legal obligation for exclusive charitable application of funds.

The Tribunal held that the sub-brokerage payments did not fall under Section 194J but rather Section 194H. Furthermore, it found that the CIT(A) erred in invoking Section 40A(2)(b) without sufficient evidence of excessive or unreasonable payment, setting aside the disallowance.
The Tribunal agreed with the Principal Commissioner that the assessment order was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue because the Assessing Officer failed to properly examine the computation of book profit under Section 115JB, specifically regarding a disallowance under Section 14A.
The Tribunal noted that a coordinate bench had set aside the addition of unexplained bank deposits to the file of the AO for fresh consideration of peak credit. Consequently, the penalty levied on this addition would not survive.
The Tribunal held that expenditure related to stock-in-trade is not to be accounted for calculating disallowance of interest under Section 14A. For administrative expenses, it directed the AO to compute at 10% of dividend income. The Revenue's appeal for AY 2009-10 was dismissed due to low tax effect.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to exemption under Section 54 for investment in a new residential property outside India. It further directed the AO to allow indexation of the cost of acquisition of the inherited property entirely from April 1, 1981, following the Bombay High Court's decision.
The Tribunal held that the contractor confirmed the repairs and payments, and any addition should be in the trust's hands, not the assessee's. Regarding the loan, the Tribunal found that the assessee established the identity, genuineness, and creditworthiness of M/s Genesis Trading Pvt. Ltd., and no double addition was permissible.

The Tribunal held that the AO was not justified in making the addition solely based on third-party statements to the Sales Tax Department without independent investigation. The assessee had provided documentary evidence and payment details, and was not given an opportunity to cross-examine the parties.
The Tribunal held that income from the sale of scrap generated from manufacturing activities is eligible for deduction under Section 80IB. It also upheld the allowance of depreciation on goodwill, following the Supreme Court's decision.

The Tribunal held that the assessee's activities constituted investment, not trading, based on its memorandum of association, consistent accounting treatment, and the nature of shareholding periods. Therefore, the gains should be treated as capital gains.

The Tribunal held that the nature of transactions (trading vs. investment) should be determined by considering all relevant facts and principles, not just the holding period. It noted that the department had accepted similar income as capital gains in other years and that the assessee used her own funds for investments.
