The Tribunal held that since the addition made by the Assessing Officer, on which the penalty was levied, was subsequently deleted by the ITAT in quantum proceedings, the penalty cannot stand. The Tribunal directed the deletion of the penalty.
The CIT(A) correctly allowed the deduction of Rs. 85 lakhs paid to the two companies under Section 48(i) of the Income Tax Act, considering it as expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with the transfer. The Tribunal affirmed this decision, finding it balanced and legally sound.
The Tribunal held that advances/deposits given for business exigencies and not recoverable should be allowed as business expenses. For society maintenance charges and legal expenses, the Tribunal found that the issues required further examination and verification by the AO.
The Tribunal held that the items listed as furniture and fixtures were in the nature of amenities attached to the building. Therefore, the lease rental income from these items should be assessed under the head 'Income From House Property'.
The Tribunal held that for completed assessments (where the time limit for notice under section 143(2) had expired before the search), additions under section 153A can only be made if there is incriminating material found during the search. Since no such material was found, the additions were deleted. The disallowance of entertainment and business promotion expenses was also deleted following a co-ordinate bench decision.
The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had not properly examined documents related to the sale of tenancy rights, plot, and cash re-deposit. Therefore, these issues were remanded back to the AO for fresh examination.
The Tribunal found that the lower authorities had passed non-speaking orders and denied the assessee an opportunity of being heard, violating principles of natural justice. Therefore, the matter was restored to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to examine the assessee's claim of double addition and verify the genuineness of purchases. If the claim is found genuine, the same amount cannot be added in two different assessment years.
The Tribunal held that the restriction of cost of construction from WIP was tax neutral as it only shifted the cost to subsequent years. Therefore, it did not amount to concealment of income, and the penalty was not warranted.
The Tribunal admitted additional evidence filed by the assessee and allowed the appeal for statistical purposes. The matter was restored to the AO for a fresh examination of the evidence and the new plea raised by the assessee.
The Tribunal found that while the purchases were not fully substantiated, the sales were not doubted, and payments were made by cheque. Therefore, a profit element on these purchases would meet the ends of justice.
The Tribunal held that the date of completion and possession of the new property is the relevant date for claiming deduction under Section 54, provided it falls within the prescribed time limits from the sale of the old property. The Tribunal followed the jurisdictional High Court's decision in a similar case.

The Tribunal held that the commission paid to directors for personal guarantees for a bank loan is a deductible business expenditure. They relied on previous decisions in the assessee's own case and similar cases.
The Tribunal held that the dominant object of the trust appears to be education, and ancillary objects do not necessarily disentitle it from exemption. The CIT(Exemptions) did not properly appreciate the facts and materials on record.
The Tribunal held that the AO had not followed its previous order by failing to consider ad hoc payments when calculating interest under Section 234B. It also directed that interest be allowed to the assessee under Section 244, except for a delay of 23 days.
The Tribunal held that deduction under Section 10A should be granted on enhanced business income, following a Bombay High Court decision. The AO was directed to allow the deduction on the enhanced income.

The Tribunal also remanded the issue of travelling expenses disallowance back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the property was sold by the partnership firm, and the assessee, being a partner, had only facilitated the sale. The sale consideration was received by the firm, not the partner. Therefore, the income should be assessed in the hands of the firm.
The Tribunal found that the CIT(A)'s order lacked application of mind and was non-speaking. Therefore, the appeal was set aside to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal restored the issue of interest on advances to the AO/TPO for fresh adjudication, directing them to afford the assessee a reasonable opportunity and adopt correct figures for Arm's Length Price (ALP). The issues of interest on share application money and depreciation on leased assets were decided based on earlier Tribunal orders, while depreciation on a motor car was decided in favour of the assessee.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to deduction under Section 80IB(10) on a proportionate basis. The CIT(A) had rightly restricted the disallowance based on the Tribunal's prior decision in the assessee's own case.

The Tribunal held that the work performed by the vendors did not require technical or professional knowledge and was covered by Section 194C. Therefore, the assessee had correctly deducted tax at source under Section 194C, and no disallowance was warranted.
The Tribunal decided that all the grounds of appeal raised by the assessee were covered by its earlier orders. Consequently, the appeals filed by the assessee were allowed.
The Tribunal affirmed the CIT(A)'s order, allowing the depreciation claim. It followed its own previous decision for the immediately preceding assessment year, which relied on High Court and Supreme Court judgments.
The Tribunal held that the payments made to MCGM were for compounding fees to regularize deviations within permissible limits, not for offences prohibited by law. Therefore, these payments are compensatory in nature and allowable as a business expenditure under Section 37(1).

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s order, directing the AO to compute house property income based on municipal rateable value and deleting the disallowance under Section 14A as the assessee had not claimed expenses related to exempt income in its P&L account.
The Tribunal held that since the assessee could not prove the genuineness of the purchases, only the profit element embedded in such purchases should be added to the income. The profit rate was estimated at 2% of the alleged bogus purchases.
The Tribunal held that the reopening of assessments was based on a mere change of opinion without any tangible material. The Bombay High Court's decision in the American Express case, which distinguished the Supreme Court ruling and allowed the deduction, was applicable to the assessee's case.

The Tribunal held that the dispute pertained to AY 2002-03, not the current AY 2007-08, and the assessee had not properly challenged the order giving effect to the CIT(A)'s decision for AY 2002-03. Therefore, there was no cause of action for AY 2007-08.
The Tribunal, following the Supreme Court's decision in Virtual Soft Systems Ltd., directed the AO to disallow depreciation but to tax only the interest component of the lease rentals, after recomputing the income.
The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to discharge its onus under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act to prove the creditworthiness and genuineness of the share capital introduction. The additions made by the AO were therefore upheld.

The Tribunal allowed the commission payment as a business expenditure, noting that similar claims were allowed in earlier and subsequent assessment years. The Tribunal found that the assessee provided complete details of payments, and the Revenue failed to confront the parties or prove non-payment or lack of services.
The Tribunal deleted the penalty, following its own prior decision in a similar case. It noted that the assessee was an individual working in the unorganized sector, not fully conversant with complex TDS provisions, and had deposited the TDS with interest.
The Tribunal held that the assessee disclosed material facts and there was no concealment of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars. Disallowance of a claim does not automatically attract penalty.
