The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to provide a satisfactory explanation regarding the nature of the Rs. 12.50 crore credit, which is a mandatory requirement under Section 68. Therefore, the addition made by the Assessing Officer was justified.

The Tribunal held that the advances received in AY 2006-07 and 2007-08 were rightly considered for AY 2007-08. However, it directed the AO to allow the actual project expenses incurred in AY 2008-09 for computing the income for AY 2007-08, to ascertain incremental income consistently.
The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to prove that no consideration was received for the sale of the property, despite the sale deed acknowledging receipt of Rs. 10 lakhs. The assessee also failed to produce the buyer for corroboration.

The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) correctly allowed the assessee's appeal as the basis for the assessment order (the CIT's Section 263 order) was set aside by the ITAT. Therefore, the revenue's appeal was dismissed.
The Tribunal found it appropriate to remand the issue to the AO to decide afresh. The AO was directed to consider the CBDT circular, the cited tribunal decision, and any other evidence, while granting the assessee a fair hearing.
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect in the appeal was below Rs. 10 lakhs. Therefore, it was covered by CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which mandates dismissal or non-pressing of appeals with such low tax effect.

The Tribunal held that the subsidy received under the TUF Scheme was capital in nature, following the precedent set in the assessee's own case and other High Court judgments. Therefore, it should not be included in the taxable income.
The Tribunal held that the penalty under Section 271(1)(c) was wrongly levied as the search was conducted after the introduction of Section 271AAA, which is the applicable provision for penalties in such cases. The Tribunal also noted that the AO allowed a deduction that was initially surrendered, making the penalty unsustainable.
The Tribunal followed its previous order for the assessment year 2008-09, which accepted the assessee's plea. Therefore, the unabsorbed depreciation could be carried forward and set off even after the lapse of eight years.

The Tribunal held that the penalty was rightly levied and confirmed as the assessee failed to explain and substantiate the sources of the unsecured loan. The offer to tax was not considered voluntary as it was made after the AO's investigation.
The Tribunal held that since the additions forming the basis of the penalty were either deleted or set aside, the penalty order could not sustain. Therefore, the penalty was quashed.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to confirm the addition of the peak credit balance, as the assessee failed to substantiate the claim that the deposits represented business collections or a personal loan. The additional ground regarding a loan was rejected due to lack of evidence.
The Tribunal confirmed the penalty on the addition made for unexplained cash credit from share transactions, as the assessee failed to prove the source of funds. However, the penalty on the estimated business income was not sustained as it was based on the assessee's own statement.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal, holding that the assessee was informed of the dismissal order late and that the appeal was maintainable even without a certified copy of the CIT(A)'s order. The issue of deduction under section 80-O was restored to the AO for fresh consideration on merits.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had not concealed income or furnished inaccurate particulars, as the claim for deduction was a matter of interpretation of law and not a deliberate act to hide income. Therefore, the penalty levied was not sustainable.
The Tribunal held that Section 50C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, is not applicable to the transfer of leasehold rights in land. Consequently, capital gains should be computed based on the actual consideration received by the assessee.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) exceeded his powers by setting aside the assessment proceedings, as Section 251 of the Income Tax Act does not grant such power. The order of the CIT(A) was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the delay in filing e-TDS returns was due to initial difficulties with the new e-filing system and constituted a reasonable cause. Therefore, the penalty was not exigible.
The Tribunal confirmed the disallowance of labour charges as the assessee did not furnish any details to controvert the lower authorities' orders. The assessee was also absent and not interested in prosecuting the appeal.
The Tribunal held that the deduction for eligible units with built-up area less than 1500 sq. ft. should be allowed on a pro-rata basis, aligning with previous decisions. However, the issue of aggregating profits and losses from different projects was remanded to the Assessing Officer for factual verification.
The Tribunal found that the assessee was not given a proper opportunity to present their case before the CIT(A) due to a hearing being adjourned and the assessee's medical condition. Therefore, the CIT(A)'s order was set aside.
The Tribunal held that since the assessee had himself offered to add 6% of the purchases, this portion of the addition should be sustained. The balance amount was rightly deleted by the CIT(A).
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was below the Rs. 10 lakh limit as per CBDT instructions. Therefore, the appeal filed by the Revenue was not maintainable.
The Tribunal held that the withdrawal of the claim was not voluntary but a consequence of being cornered after the search and subsequent notices. The assessee failed to discharge the burden of proving the genuineness of the claim.
The Tribunal found it appropriate to send all grounds back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication. The Assessing Officer was directed to provide the assessee with an adequate opportunity to present all necessary details and evidence.
The Tribunal upheld the order of the CIT(A), agreeing that the assessee had furnished inaccurate particulars of income by claiming an incorrect deduction under Section 54F. The penalty levied by the AO was therefore confirmed.
The Tribunal held that for the Assessment Year 2011-12, the computation of tax liability as per the ITR-6 form mandated that MAT credit be allowed first, followed by the calculation of Surcharge and Education Cess. Therefore, the AO was directed to recompute the tax liability accordingly.
The Tribunal held that the appeal filed by the Revenue was not maintainable as the tax effect was below the prescribed monetary limit of Rs. 10 lakhs as per CBDT Circular No. 21/2015. Consequently, the cross-objection filed by the assessee was rendered infructuous.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, following its own prior rulings in the assessee's own case for earlier assessment years. The Tribunal found that data processing costs were not royalty and interest paid to the Head Office was deductible.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal as the assessee did not wish to press it. This was based on a statement made by the assessee's representative that the Assessing Officer had granted relief while giving effect to the CIT(A)'s order.
The Tribunal deleted the ad-hoc disallowances for various expenses, finding that the assessee had submitted relevant details and the AO's assessment order was contradictory. However, the Tribunal upheld the restriction of depreciation on the commercial vehicle as per the proviso to Section 32(1) of the Act.
The Tribunal restored the issue of disallowance under Section 14A to the AO for recomputation, as Rule 8D was not applicable for the assessment year. The addition of Rs. 80 lakhs for contingent claims was also restored to the AO for fresh consideration. The ground challenging the validity of reopening under Section 147 was dismissed as factually incorrect.
The Tribunal held that the amounts received by the assessee, though routed through dummy companies, were ultimately funds siphoned from M/s Rajat Pharmachem Ltd. and were taxable as revenue receipts.
