The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal following CBDT Circular No. 21/2015, which mandates dismissal of appeals with a tax effect below Rs. 10 lakhs. The assessee's cross-objection was not adjudicated as it only sought to support the CIT(A)'s order.

The Tribunal held that since the claim for depreciation was an inadvertent mistake and was withdrawn by the assessee upon being pointed out by the AO, penalty under Section 271(1)(c) was not warranted.

The Tribunal allowed depreciation on mobile phones, deleted disallowance of interest expenditure, partly allowed disallowance on salary, deleted disallowance on purchases and advertisement, allowed audit fees, partly allowed disallowance on conveyance, confirmed disallowance of donation, allowed bank charges and interest on cash credit/secured loans, allowed medical expenses for directors and employees, allowed rental income under 'Income from House Property', and remanded the issue of bad debts for fresh adjudication.

The Tribunal held that payments for internet charges are not 'fees for technical services' under Section 194J, and bank guarantee charges do not attract TDS under Section 194H as they lack the element of agency. Therefore, the assessee was not in default.

The Tribunal considered the submissions from both sides. In view of a previous order, the Tribunal granted permission to withdraw the appeal.
The Tribunal held that the use of the indefinite article 'a' in 'a residential house' does not restrict the exemption to only one house. The exemption is available for investment in any number of residential houses, provided other conditions are met. The physical structure of the house, even if consisting of multiple units, does not impede the deduction.
The Tribunal held that principles of natural justice require that a person must be heard before any decision is taken. The Assessing Officer should have waited for the assessee or provided a further opportunity.
The Tribunal held that penalty under Section 271AAA is not leviable if the assessee admits undisclosed income, specifies the manner in which it was derived, and pays the tax and interest. The Tribunal found that the assessee had explained the source and manner of income and paid the due taxes.

The Tribunal held that the CIT's order under Section 263 was bad in law and not sustainable because the grounds in the show-cause notice differed from those in the final order, denying the assessee an opportunity to be heard. Consequently, the subsequent assessment order and the Revenue's appeal were deemed non-maintainable.
The Tribunal restored the issue of capital gain/loss to the AO for fresh adjudication after admitting additional evidence. The issue of unexplained investment was remanded to the AO to verify if it was substantively added in another entity's assessment before the Settlement Commission.
