The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had not examined the evidence provided by the assessee, including confirmations from Mr. Tawade and the assessee's mother, and details of agricultural land. Therefore, the matter was set aside.
The Tribunal held that the assessee, being a co-operative society registered under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act and not a 'cooperative bank' as defined in the Banking Regulation Act, is eligible for the deduction under Section 80P. The restriction in Section 80P(4) does not apply to such societies.
The Tribunal held that Section 54 of the Income Tax Act does not prohibit purchasing a new residential property in joint names or using borrowed funds for investment. The key is that the sale consideration is utilized for acquiring the new asset.

The Tribunal held that the addition for purchases of Rs. 2,33,36,015/- was to be deleted as it was already offered as income in a subsequent assessment year. For the purchases of Rs. 92,40,232/-, the addition was reduced from 15% to 2% of the profit element.
The Tribunal held that the issue of re-computing the rebate under section 88E was debatable and beyond the purview of section 154. Therefore, the rectification order passed by the AO was quashed.

However, a portion of labour and off-loading expenses were sustained as 25% disallowance due to inherent discrepancies.

The Tribunal held that Section 50C is not applicable to the transfer of leasehold rights, as it applies only to capital assets being land or building or both. The Tribunal also upheld the CIT(A)'s decision to allow set-off of business loss against 'income from other sources' to provide maximum benefit to the assessee.
The Tribunal held that the expenses were in the nature of 'Rent' and thus liable for TDS under Section 194I, not Section 194C. Since Section 194I has a threshold of Rs. 1,20,000 for TDS, only payments exceeding this amount were subject to disallowance.
The Tribunal found that the assessee was not provided with a reasonable opportunity of being heard before the penalty was levied. Therefore, the penalty was restored to the AO for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the matter needed to be set aside and restored to the AO for fresh determination. The AO must verify if the forward contracts were entered into to hedge against business exposure and were an integral part of the import business.

The Tribunal held that the addition for purchases of Rs. 2,33,36,015/- was to be deleted as it was already offered as income in a subsequent assessment year. For the purchases of Rs. 92,40,232/-, the addition was reduced from 15% to 2% of the profit element.
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, finding that the AO's reasons for reopening the assessment were factually incorrect and not based on tangible material. Consequently, the assumption of jurisdiction under section 147 and the subsequent assessment order were deemed invalid.
The Tribunal held that the penalty appeal should also be restored to the file of the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication, following the decision in the quantum appeal. The CIT(A) was directed to decide the issue on merits after giving due opportunity to the assessee.
The Tribunal held that the assessee should be given an opportunity to cross-examine Shri Mukesh Chokshi. The issue was restored to the AO for fresh examination, allowing the assessee to be present during the cross-examination.
The Tribunal held that the assessee had sufficient interest-free funds and cash profits, exceeding the interest-free advances given. Therefore, the disallowance of interest was not justified.
The Tribunal noted that the quantum of addition, which formed the basis for the penalty, had been set aside by a previous Tribunal order to the AO for fresh adjudication. Therefore, the penalty was also set aside pending the fresh decision on the quantum.
The Tribunal agreed with the CIT(A) that the diary entries, without corroborative evidence, could not be treated as unaccounted sales. The assessee's explanation that they were estimates for a business dealing in paintings and interior decoration was accepted.
The Tribunal held that the value adopted or assessed by the Stamp Valuation Authority based on circle rates is deemed to be the full value of consideration for the purpose of Section 48. However, if the assessee disputes this value, the AO should refer the capital asset to the Valuation Officer to determine the full value of consideration under Section 50C(2). The Tribunal found that the assessee had indeed disputed the value adopted by the stamp valuation authority and relied on the decision of the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court in Sunil Kumar Agarwal Vs. CIT, which emphasized the need for fairness and providing an option to the assessee for valuation by the DVO to avoid miscarriage of justice. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the orders of the lower authorities and remitted the issue back to the file of the AO for fresh adjudication. The AO is directed to ascertain the full value of consideration from the DVO and compute the long-term capital gain accordingly. The issue of expenditure incurred on improvement was also remitted back to the AO for fresh examination. The appeal was allowed for statistical purposes.
The Tribunal held that the CIT's rejection was based on the application of income rather than the genuineness of the trust's activities and objects. It noted that the recipient trust was already registered under Section 12A.
The Tribunal held that the plot of land was appurtenant to the building and therefore, the rental income derived from it should be taxed under the head 'income from house property', as per Section 22 of the Income Tax Act.
The Tribunal noted that the quantum addition, which formed the basis for the penalty, was set aside by a previous Tribunal order and restored to the CIT(A) for fresh consideration. Therefore, the penalty levied on the same issue was not sustainable.
The Tribunal confirmed the deletion of the Rs. 50 lakh addition, following a previous decision in a related case. The addition for jewellery was also deleted. The issue of capital gains from the family settlement was restored to the AO for fresh decision.
The Tribunal held that the valuation of obsolete inventory at its realisable value (which was nil) was a bonafide and proper business practice. The claim for loss was therefore allowable as a business loss.
The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable as per CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which sets a monetary limit of Rs. 10 lakhs for filing appeals. This circular is retrospective and applies to pending appeals.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of the assessment was invalid due to factually incorrect and legally flawed reasons recorded by the AO. The assumption of jurisdiction was deemed bad in law, rendering the reassessment order a nullity.

The Tribunal held that payments made for acquiring leasehold land are capital expenditure and not rent. Therefore, such payments do not fall under the definition of 'rent' for the purpose of TDS under Section 194-I.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer must apprise the assessee of the precise charge for penalty proceedings. Since the penalty was initiated on both grounds of concealment and furnishing inaccurate particulars, and the assessee was not given a clear charge, the penalty was not justified.
The Tribunal held that since the assessee's sales were not objected to, purchases must have been made. While payments were made to hawala dealers, the purchases were recorded in books and paid via account payee cheques. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to estimate income by adding a further 3% of the bogus purchases as profit.
The Tribunal held that since the quantum addition was deleted, the penalty imposed under Section 271(1)(c) cannot survive. The penalty cannot stand without the underlying addition.
