The Tribunal held that the assessee acted bona fide based on the TDS certificates provided by the bank. There was no willful attempt to evade taxes, and the authorities below failed to prove the explanation given by the assessee was false or not genuine.
The Tribunal held that the omission was an inadvertent mistake due to the first year of FBT provisions, not concealment or furnishing inaccurate particulars. The assessee's explanation was considered bonafide and not disproven by the revenue.
The Tribunal held that the voluntary surrender of income to buy peace, especially when the Assessing Officer accepted the offered income without making independent additions, does not constitute concealment of income. Therefore, penalty under Section 271(1)(c) was not justified.

The Tribunal held that the issue of adding a Section 14A disallowance to book profits under Section 115JB is debatable. Therefore, the AO could not make such an addition under Section 154 as it was not a mistake apparent from the record.
The Tribunal held that the issues raised by the Revenue were covered by its own previous decisions in the assessee's own case for earlier assessment years. The Tribunal found no infirmity in the CIT(A)'s order allowing the deduction.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had a reasonable cause for the delay in compliance due to late receipt of the notice and the voluminous nature of the information requested. Furthermore, the subsequent completion of assessments under section 143(3) indicated that the initial defaults were mitigated.

Furthermore, the subsequent completion of assessments under section 143(3) indicated that the initial defaults were mitigated.
The Tribunal decided that penalties deleted by the CIT(A) were to be upheld in favor of the assessee, as the additions on which the penalties were based had been deleted in prior appeals. Several grounds related to disallowances were also decided in favor of the assessee based on previous tribunal decisions.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in not following the Tribunal's own previous decisions in the assessee's own case for earlier assessment years. The Tribunal confirmed that the assessee is a deemed owner under Section 27(iiib) r.w.s. 269 UA.
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect in the appeal was below the revised monetary limit for filing appeals as per CBDT Circular No. 21/2015. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed as not maintainable.
The Tribunal held that the CIT erred in not considering the assessee's submissions regarding the set-off of brought forward losses, as all details were available with the Assessing Officer. However, the CIT's direction to verify the annual ratable value of one flat was affirmed.
The Tribunal held that the transaction charges paid to the stock exchange are for common facilities and do not fall under the definition of 'fees for technical services'. Therefore, TDS under Section 194J was not deductible.
The Tribunal noted that the tax effect was below the revised monetary limit for filing appeals by the Department as per CBDT Circular No. 21/2015. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed as not maintainable.
The Tribunal held that since the assessment orders were set aside and restored to the AO, the penalty orders should also be set aside. The AO was given liberty to initiate fresh penalty proceedings after passing a new assessment order.

The Tribunal held that provisions of Section 115JB are not applicable to banking companies. Regarding head office expenses, the Tribunal did not provide a definitive ruling in this excerpt, but the appeal was partly allowed. The Tribunal ruled that interest received from the head office is not taxable on the principle of not earning income from self.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, noting that the assessee's own funds exceeded investments and that the assessee had already made a suo motu disallowance greater than the tax-exempt income.
The Tribunal found no merit in the Revenue's appeal on merits. The assessment order was not sustainable as additions were made on presumption without any discrepancy in sales, purchases, or incriminating documents.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had made sufficient compliance in maintaining records as required under Section 92D read with Rule 10D. The TPO's order did not recommend penalty proceedings, and no finding of failure to maintain records was made.
The assessee's counsel filed a written submission requesting to withdraw the appeal. The Tribunal permitted the withdrawal.
The Tribunal held that the AO must apprise the assessee of the precise charge for penalty proceedings. Since the penalty was initiated on one footing (concealment) but levied on another (inaccurate particulars), the assessee was not given a reasonable opportunity to be heard, rendering the penalty unjustified.
The Tribunal confirmed the disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) as the assessee failed to provide evidence that TDS was not attracted. Similarly, the disallowance under Section 40A(3) was confirmed due to the assessee's failure to prove the cash payment fell under Rule 6DD exceptions.
The Tribunal found that the assessee had clearly demonstrated that the secured loan taken was advanced to another company, from which interest income was earned and taxed. Therefore, no expenditure was attributable to the exempt income.
The Tribunal held that the AO should have referred the matter to the Valuation Officer for determining the fair market value under Section 50C(2) when the assessee disputed the stamp duty valuation. The issue was set aside to the AO for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the additional evidence submitted before the CIT(A) was not confronted to the AO. Therefore, the issue was restored to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication after confronting the evidence to the AO.
The Tribunal held that the assessee acted as an investor, not a trader, based on factors like investment in balance sheet, own funds used, delivery-based transactions, and acceptance of similar gains as capital gains in other years. It also ruled that no disallowance under Section 14A was warranted as the assessee claimed no expenditure.
The Tribunal held that since the amount was remitted to an escrow account as per the High Court's direction in the current year, and the settlement occurred before the finalization of accounts, the deduction was allowable as per Accounting Standard-4.
The Tribunal held that since the quantum addition on which the penalty was levied had been deleted by a previous Tribunal order, the penalty order no longer survived. Therefore, the penalty was deleted.
The Tribunal held that a completion certificate from appropriate government authorities was not a mandatory requirement under the second proviso to Section 24. Evidence of possession, such as a certificate from the Cooperative Housing Society, was sufficient to prove compliance.
The Tribunal allowed grounds related to disallowance of purchases from a 'hawala party' and unreconciled interest differences. It also allowed grounds related to Section 14A, write-off of advances, and taxability of gift transactions, referencing prior decisions.
The Tribunal held that income from commercial complexes should be assessed as business income, following its own prior decisions. It also directed the Assessing Officer to allow indexation on the cost of land for recomputing capital gains.
The Tribunal affirmed the decision of the CIT(A) in deleting the addition. This was based on the Tribunal's own prior decisions in the assessee's own case for earlier assessment years on identical issues.
The Tribunal held that no disallowance under Section 14A was warranted as no fresh investments were made and existing ones were minimal. It also held that no interest expenditure was attributable to the building under construction, thus deleting the disallowance under Section 36(1)(iii).
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to delete the ad-hoc disallowance on expenses, finding the CIT(A)'s order to be well-reasoned. Similarly, the Tribunal confirmed the deletion of the addition on subcontract charges, noting the assessee had provided substantial evidence and the ratio of these charges was the lowest in comparison to previous years.
The Tribunal held that commission paid to directors, as part of their remuneration, falls under 'Income from salaries' as per Section 17(1)(iv). Therefore, Section 192 TDS provisions were applicable, and Section 40(a)(ia) was not applicable for the assessment year in question.
The Tribunal held that no capital gains tax was leviable as no consideration had accrued or been received by the assessee on the demerger. The revaluation reserve was merely an accounting entry and not a consideration for the transfer.
The Tribunal found merit in the Revenue's contention regarding the violation of Rule 46A. Consequently, the issues were set aside to the AO for fresh examination considering the evidence.
The Tribunal held that the reassessment proceedings were invalid. The non-issuance of a notice under Section 143(2) was a jurisdictional defect, and reopening based on audit objections after the AO had opposed them constituted a change of opinion, not escapement of income.
The Tribunal held that the Daman Unit-2 was a separate industrial unit with its own plant, machinery, and workforce, and therefore eligible for deduction. It also noted that the condition regarding machinery transfer was to be evaluated at the time of the unit's formation, which was not the assessment year in question.
The Tribunal held that penalty was leviable on the undisclosed income declared by the assessee and on the perquisite value of rent-free accommodation. However, penalty could not be levied on amounts added on an estimation basis.
